This miracle happened at Satu Suro Festival on March, 2000 which was held by Taman Mini Indonesia Indah in Jakarta. The first of Suro (One of the months according to Javanese Calendar) is the new year of Javanese people.

It is occurred during March or April according to Gregorian Calendar. For most Javanese people this changing of the year is very sacred. On this occasion many Javanese people wash or bath (purify) their traditional weapons on their New Year Eve and many also do fasting, pray, do tapa (austerity) and other spiritual practices. For the laymen they observe it by staying up late.

In that occasion Taman Mini Indonesia Indah celebrated Satu Suro by inviting foremost religious leaders, spiritual practitioners and paranormals who lived in Jakarta and in other places of Indonesia and from abroad. They gathered and prayed for the prosperity of Indonesia. If I am not mistaken they are all about 240 in number. On that event they brought holy water which was taken from the sacred places in Indonesia and abroad.

One person which got special invitation was Mr. Darmayasa. He also brought sacred water which was taken from 1111 (one thousand one hundred eleven) sacred places mostly in India. All the water would be mixed in two big gentong (large earthenware bowl for water) placed in the field. Many people came not only to watch but also to get blessing from the holy water. According to the report they were about 2000 in number. First the holy water was mixed in two big gentong (large earthenware bowl for water) . After that the paranormals were asked to show their ability. Then they were asked to bless the water in the two big containers.




There were about 20 paranormals gave their power and say a prayer respectively to the water in the two big containers. But only Mr. Darmayasa was given a special time to give power to the water in the two big gentong. After all the paranormals gave their power to the water then Mr. Darmayasa poured the water that he brought special from India. (On that occasion there some miracles happened, unfortunately I do not have divine eyes to be able to see the miracles. I can only feel something that I can not say, so in the most important part I can not tell you much) At the moment when Mr. Darmayasa was pouring the water from the small cup to the first gentong it seemed that the water continually poured whereas it poured from a small cup not bigger than tea-cup and it is not full of water but only a half.

When Mr. Darmayasa finished pouring the water to the first gentong, the people who were waiting for the miraculous water started attacking the water. Seeing this, I worried about Mr. Darmayasa from being crushed and trampled upon. Hurriedly I went to Mr. Darmayasa but I could not move because the crowd blocked me. For a moment I could not see him. While I was being pushed around by the people suddenly I saw Mr. Darmayasa was pouring the water from the same cup to the second gentong calmly. Because the second gentong had not been blessed by him the people were concentrated on the first gentong. As soon as he finished pouring the holy water to the second gentong, the people attacked the gentong. I was standing so close to the second gentong so I could see him got out easily from the crowd. Later on it was known that his scarf disappeared.

When the people attacked the first container the MC was shouting through a loud speaker asking them to be quiet and keep still. The holy water will be distributed to them. But later on his shouting changed, “ Help, help, help some body was stepping on my foot…”. To put the people who were struggling to get the holy water in order, I and the committee used two elephants. I and the committee were looking for Mr. Darmayasa. One of the committee even cried. He so worried about him being pressed and shoved by the crowd. Finally we found him in the corner was standing and folding his arms over his chest. In fact he was praying for the people in order not to get hurt or the trouble that could disturb the festival.

It did not stop till that. The next day morning I was with Mr. Darmayasa and one of his guest was Ki Joko Bodo, a famous paranormal. Ki Joko Bodo also joined the festival. He told me a little bit complete story that after Mr. Darmayasa finishing pouring the first container and was going to move to the second gentong, Ki Joko Bodo saw that the pouring holy water ‘flew’ toward the second container and then followed by Mr. Darmayasa. While Ki Joko Bodo was telling this story some guests and the staffs of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah were also present. He said, “That is the first time I have seen the true powerful man, He is Mr. Darmayasa…”

That historical cup which was used by Mr. Darmayasa to pour the holy water has been kept at my house until now. From that cup I get blessing to drink the remnant/residue of the holy water. I must confess that I become the happiest among the happiest person.
