REGGAE AND RASTA

In Indonesia, almost always identified with reggae Rasta. In fact, reggae and Rasta are actually two different things. "Reggae is a genre of music, whereas the Rasta or Rastafari stands for is a choice way of life, way of life," said Ras Mohammed (23), reggae musician who had 12 years to his world of reggae in New Yorkdan adherent of the teachings of Rasta philosophy. Fuss, behind the frenetic and joy that brought reggae, there is a stigma attached to fans of the music. And the stigma is also attached to the Rasta philosophy itusendiri. "Here, fans of reggae music, or often mistakenly called the Rastafarians, identified with suction marijuana and life style at will, without a goal," said Mohammed Ras whose original name ini.Padahal Egar, Rasta philosophy actually teach someone living a clean, orderly, and has the principles and purpose of life is a real Rasta jelas.Penganut refuse to drink alcohol, eat meat, and even smoke cigarettes. "The members of The Wailers (original band BobMarley) no smoking. Smoking violates the teachings of Rastafari," said Ras.
Ras reveals, not all are followers of Rasta reggae fans, and vice versa, not all believers should love Rasta reggae songs. Rasta Reggae identified with because BobMarley-bearer to the world music genre, is a devout Rasta.
Race added that one proof that the reggae community in Indonesia is largely not understood the teachings of Rastafari is the lack of understanding of the basics of that philosophy. "Like when I asked them about Marcus Garvey and Haile Selassie, they do not know. And that is the two main characters in the teachings of Rastafari," said the young man who menggelung her long hair in a turban this.
Musician Tony Q Rastafara also admitted, though he uses frills Rastafara name, but he was not a devout Rasta. Tony tries to understand the teachings of Rastafari which according to him can be squeezed into one nature philosophy, which loves peace. "What I just follow the peace loving it," said Tony who did not want to touch the marijuana was. However, although not understand and run the whole philosophy of Rastafari, reggae fans and players in Indonesia claimed to get something behind the music that they love it. Usually, starting to like reggae music (and lyrics of the songs), the fans then became interested in studying philosophy and teaching behind it.
As acknowledged Moses Billy Hendry, guitarist Papa Rasta group from Yogyakarta, who claimed to reggae music reinforced his hatred of injustice and abuse of authority. Each ticket police, he prefers to argue than the "peace". "The problem is not the money, but such practices are not fair," said Moses who claims often followed strangers buying cigarettes at midnight because of mistaken want to buy marijuana. While Steven admitted he became more wise in view of life since wrestle reggae music. Reggae music, especially Bob Marley popularized, according to Stevens, taught peace, justice, and nonviolence.

Sila and Joni from Bali asserted, a true Rasta do not have identical appearance BobMarley style. "True Rasta is in their hearts," said Sila said, clenching his right hand to pat his chest.

STORY OF BOB Marley, RED YELLOW GREEN and marijuana

Got t-shirts or paraphernalia with marijuana leaves picture yellow or red color green rows? Got? Trus kalo emang got what ya mean it? Then why Bob Marley is also identified with marijuana and red green yellow so?
I often see people on the street with a shirt or accessories with a style as I mentioned above (marijuana, red yellow green color, and Bob Marley). I do not know why feeling to know I was intrigued, what exactly does this mean?
I was idly browsing and a little more so to know if the red yellow green color is the color of the flag of the Rastafari Movement or often abbreviated with the Rasta. Rastafari is a religion that was born in Jamaica, but some are more like to call the way of life rather than religion. Religion is based on the Bible but have been influenced by religious and other beliefs-religious belief in Jamaica.
The Rastafarians worship the one God (monotheism) which represents the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and the Holy spirit which they call "Jah". Well "Jah" is the Haile Selassie (Rastafari comes from Ras Tafari word which is the birth name of Haile Selassie, Ras Tafari Makkonen), King of Ethiopia which they consider to be the incarnation of Lion of Judah, or Jesus. So on what basis they dare issued a statement that Haile Selassie is "Jah"? Previously, there was a prophecy which says that a new king will reign in Ethiopia and it was evident, even in the biblical verses that support it like Revelations 5: 5, Revelations 19: 16, Revelations 22: 16 and Psalms 87:4 , Ezekiel 30, Epistle to Timothy, Revelation 19, 22, Psalms 9.18, 68, 76, and Isaiah 9.
Back to the color problem was, every color of the Rastafari flag has special meaning. Red symbolizes the blood spilled to the earth, yellow gold symbolizes prosperity also lost or the sun that gives life to all, and green symbolizes the lost continent of Africa green.
So what's wrong with marijuana? Cannabis or marijuana canabis or first brought to Jamaica once in the late 1800s by those eastern India. Before Rastafari emerged marijuana used as medicine or mixed with tobacco for cigarettes. To Rastafarians, marijuana is used to acquire wisdom and became part of religious ritual to get closer to them on "Jah" (God). So in other words they worship with marijuana though more so solemn.
Bob Marley, King of Reggae, which is famous with dreads who mengispirasi champion Surip are Rastafarians. With a Reggae music from Jamaica Bob Marley Rastafari influence spread throughout the world. That's why there's always Bob marley red green yellow and marijuana.
Questioning about Bob Marley dreadlocks, it was also a special meaning for Rastafari them are part of the oath in the Gospel of the Nazarenes and Leviticus that forbade them to shave the hair (but that does not mean it always dreadlocked Rastafarians, some are not). Another meaning is dreadlocks symbolize their identity, so they do not forget who they are and remind them of Jah (God) because with dreads they look like a lion (Lion of Judah, perhaps)
Ok, we've talked at length about Rastafari, but what exactly is the purpose of this Rastafari? I also do not know, but some say they are a religious movement and a cultural revolution to world peace, racial harmony, economic and political reform. But according to what I understand from reading my reasons for the emergence of Rastafari is for freedom of black people, its meaning here is a symbol of defiance against oppression and pride as black.
Bob Marley is a descendant of the mix. His father was white British, while her mother is Afro-Jamaican. Therefore he was born too black to get into class whites and too white to get into the class of blacks. But in the end he chose to go in the black group. So also with those blacks who had always been dominated by white people, they always be second-class society even Jesus was white, why not black? What's wrong with black? With the emergence of Haile Sallassei fulfilling prophecy they finally have a god of his own faction. Well somehow it's just my assumption that can not hold validity.
Now many people who are not black or African who claimed Rastafarians with dreadlocks hair, clothes and assessoris colored red green yellow, like / play reggae music, Rastafari ideology admitted, but they can not fully considered Rastafarians. Because it is basically true Rastafarians are African people who consciously raised with a sense of pride of heritage, religion, pride, and its existence in the world as black people in Africa or the Rastafari religion ... and run it kaffah.
Well, finally this day I spend in front of the internet to read about Rastafari, and I so know what the relationship between Bob Marley, Red Yellow Green, Gimbal, and Ganja. Apparently it is not just a style-gayaan but also something to do with the worship of Jah, Rastafari God.

REGGAE DO NOT HAVE TO USE Ganja

Rastafara Q Tony, who has been struggling in Indonesia reggae music for 20 years, confirmed reggae is not synonymous with marijuana.

During a visit to Indonesia in Jakarta BBC to record Musika Info, Tony Q adding he even composed a song to affirm that view, entitled Reggae Dot Com.

According to Tony the image of reggae that for some people is synonymous with marijuana caused by the clips of music from the West.

INITIAL STEPS TO PREVENT DRUG

The research results prove nearly 70% of addicts started using drugs because of trial and error.
why would they dare to try it?
teenager in the process of search for identity, so curious that is in adolescents is very high. ignorance about the dangers of drugs and lack of preventive education can they be tempted to try to toxic and hazardous substances. especially with the lure of a friend, if drugs were delicious and also considered a child social.
wow, my grave, if they do not understand how dangerous drugs. therefore the provision of information about the dangers of drugs is very important, especially through school.
lack of attention can also cause people addicted to drugs. lack of attention not only within the family but also in the association of friends. therefore togetherness, communication and mutual care are very important factors that can prevent someone mired in drugs.
little sense of care for the environment and people close to us, is the first step to prevent the increase of drug addicts.
