Abstract

This research aims to conduct a comparative study on the discourse of God in Samkya Darsana and the Aji Samkya text in Bali. Samkya Darsana is one of the six philosophical systems of Hinduism that explores the understanding of the cosmos and human beings. The Aji Samkya text is an ancient manuscript containing Samkya teachings in Bali. In this research, we analyze the views on God expressed in both sources. We employ a comparative approach to highlight the similarities and differences between Samkya Darsana and Aji Samkya in the context of the conception of God. The findings of this research provide a deeper understanding of the Samkya perspective on God and how this perspective is reflected in the cultural context of Bali. This study can contribute to our understanding of the plurality of philosophies and beliefs within the Hindu tradition.

Abstract

This study explores the aesthetic of dharma as manifested in Balinese Hindu literary traditions, particularly in classical works such as Kakawin Arjunawiwaha and Geguritan Dharma Prawerti. Through a hermeneutic and qualitative textual analysis, this paper argues that Balinese literature functions not only as an artistic expression but also as a moral-spiritual pedagogy that shapes character and consciousness. The synthesis of beauty (sundaram), goodness (śivam), and truth (satyam) creates an aesthetic path toward ethical and spiritual realization. The findings show that Balinese Hindu literature embodies dharma through emotional depth (rasa), symbolic structure, and ethical narrative, enabling readers to internalize virtue through aesthetic experience.
