Abstract

Tumpek Landep, a sacred day in the Balinese Hindu ritual calendar, is a day of devotion to Sang Hyang Pasupati, the divine manifestation of Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa as the source of spiritual energy and empowerment for all sharp and technological tools. Historically, Tumpek Landep was centered on sacred heirlooms made of iron and metal, such as kris and spears, which were understood as instruments channeling divine energy. Over time, the ritual has transformed, particularly in modern Bali, where the blessings now extend to vehicles and machinery. This article examines this theological and cultural transformation in Karangasem, Bali, showing how devotion to Sang Hyang Pasupati continues to underlie the ritual even as its material expressions evolve. Employing qualitative descriptive methods, this study integrates observation, interviews with priests and community members, and analysis of textual and oral sources. Findings reveal that Tumpek Landep remains a ritual of purification (melaspas) and empowerment (ngurip) through which Balinese Hindus reaffirm their relationship with Sang Hyang Pasupati, expressing gratitude and devotion for divine energy that animates both traditional and modern tools.

Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable and ethical leadership has challenged the dominance of Western-centric strategic management paradigms. While existing sustainability frameworks emphasize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, limited attention has been given to indigenous philosophical foundations that integrate spirituality and strategic decision-making. This study proposes a sustainable leadership framework derived from Tri Hita Karana (THK), a Hindu philosophical concept emphasizing harmony between human beings and God (Parahyangan), among humans (Pawongan), and between humans and nature (Palemahan). Using a qualitative conceptual approach supported by an integrative literature review, this paper develops a theoretical model that aligns THK principles with strategic management dimensions, including vision formulation, stakeholder management, organizational culture, and sustainable performance. The findings suggest that THK offers a holistic paradigm that integrates spiritual accountability, social responsibility, and ecological sustainability into strategic leadership practices. This study contributes theoretically by expanding the discourse on non-Western management philosophy and offers practical implications for organizations seeking culturally grounded sustainable strategies. The proposed framework provides a foundation for future empirical validation across diverse institutional contexts.
