Abstract

Ritual communication carried out by the Pandita is an important aspect in maintaining spiritual connectedness between the people, the universe, and God. This analysis will examine how the Pandita uses symbols, language, and gestures in religious ceremonies to convey religious messages and build a deep spiritual atmosphere. The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of ritual communication of the pandita in Hindu religious ceremonies. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study are the Central Role of the Pandita as a spiritual mediator who connects Hindus with God through religious rituals and also conveys religious and moral values. Ritual communication in Hindu religious ceremonies involves the use of symbolic language, such as mantras, and sacred objects (fire, incense, tirta) that have deep spiritual meaning. This symbolism enriches the communication process between the people, the pandita, and divine power. Mantra as Sacred Communication in Mantras spoken by the pandita in Sanskrit or Old Balinese are a form of verbal communication that is considered to have spiritual power. Non-Verbal Communication: Body movements and ritual attitudes carried out by the pandita during the ceremony are also important forms of communication. Social and Cultural Functions: Ritual communication led by the pandita plays a role in strengthening social cohesion and cultural identity in the Hindu community. Ritual ceremonies not only function as a spiritual means, but also as a medium to strengthen relationships between community members and maintain cultural heritage.

Through ceremonies, pandita teaches moral values, ethics, and religious teachings that are relevant to the lives of the people. The ritual communication of the pandita in Hindu religious ceremonies is a complex and profound process, involving various forms of communication, both verbal and non-verbal, to convey spiritual messages, strengthen social ties, and maintain the cultural identity of the Hindu people.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the communication management that takes place in the Nyepi Day celebration in Lombok, with a focus on the integration between local traditions and the influence of modernity. Nyepi Day is one of the holy days in Hinduism that has deep meaning in the teachings of the Vedas, and involves a series of profound and symbolic rituals. In the context of Lombok, the Nyepi celebration shows the interaction between traditional communication maintained by the indigenous community and the use of digital media that is increasingly growing, especially among the younger generation. The research method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with religious leaders, customary leaders, and Hindu youth in Lombok, as well as participant observation of the procession and digital communication related to Nyepi. This study also examines the theory of ritual communication, new media theory, and diffusion of innovation theory to explain the dynamics of communication that occurs. The results of the study indicate that although digital media plays an increasingly large role in disseminating information about Nyepi, traditional communication involving direct interaction between community members and the delivery of religious teachings by customary leaders still plays an important role in strengthening the spiritual meaning of the celebration. The integration of social media and other digital platforms has succeeded in expanding the reach of information and increasing community participation, but also presents challenges in maintaining the depth of religious and cultural values. In conclusion, communication management in the Nyepi Day celebration in Lombok shows success in combining traditional and modern elements, creating an inclusive communication space, and strengthening the religious and social identity of the Hindu community. This study contributes to the understanding of adaptive religious communication management in the digital era.
