BAYWARA POWER - PEACE & HEALING from Arnhem Land to the World!

PRESS RELEASE!

This is a message and a blessing from Galpu elder Djalu Gurruwiwi, from Arnhem Land to the World. It is a blessing for peace and healing, of human cooperation and reconnection to nature. To discover the spirituality that pervades all life and that has been a guiding force in indigenous life in remote Arnhem Land, and the world over. To be fair, honourable and equal.

Baywara is lightning, arguably the most ferocious if not destructive form of energy in the natural world. In Yolngu cosmology and spirituality, nothing is more powerful than Baywara, but it would not exist without its opposite. Hence the very nature of the fabric of Yolngu society pivoting around the mutually-dependent existence of polar opposites.

And just as Baywara can kill, it can also heal.

In this message, Djalu asserts the authority of the Galpu Nation under the protection of sacred Lightning, its spiritual totem... at one stage Djalu's volcanic temper begins to erupt as he instructs the dancers to enter the next phase of ceremony, they were a little slow. Djalu after all is Wititj (the sacred Olive Python) and Wititj spits out lightning in the wet season in tropical Australia. Whereas Djalu is Wititj the Olive Python, his father Monyu was Lightning itself. A warrior of virtually unmatched prowess, Monyu and his sons kept the law as protectors of it and as executioner of perpetrators of crime. This was an honour, as guardians of the law and as respected, perhaps feared, lawmen.

But there is a new way now that Djalu has discovered, an acceptance of new knowledge and the continued adherence to the old laws of duality and balance creating oneness.

Djalu plays the didgeridoo, the sacred Baywara Lightning Didgeridoo or yidaki as it is known in the local language. The sonic energy released by Baywara blesses all who listen to it.

LOVE. PEACE. HEALING. LIGHT. TRUTH. BAYWARA POWER.

The ceremonial scene depicts the Lightning Dance, where in the ever-present 'Dreamtime' Lightning struck a Stringybark Tree sending splinters into different directions, some falling inland in the bush and thus forming and establishing the Galpu people of the freshwater. Other splinters flew towards the coastline or into the sea and thereby became the Galpu people of the saltwater. The two are one. From destruction new life grows.

I've seen other videos here featuring "Baywara" yidaki. What I'm wondering is if Baywara is the name of the person making these sticks...or...is Baywara a certain style of yidaki, with a certain purpose???

@alternatehistories read the description buddy, it is self-explanatory!

Thanks for the up-load, it´s a great clip... when hearing the sound & rhythm again and I close my eyes I´m almost back up there :)
