Yoga sebagai ilmu holisik yang memberi peluang manusia untuk mencapai tujuan akhir sebuah Realisasi Diri atau Kebebasan Sejati. Yoga Metode analisisnya mengggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dan metode interpretatif.

Abstract

Upanisad, one of the sacred literatures in Hindu philosophy that contains various natural metaphors to explain the concept of unthinkable and transcendental divinity. These natural metaphors become a bridge that allows humans to understand God as Satyam (truth), Sivam (goodness), and Sundaram (beauty). This research is motivated by an in-depth exploration of the Upanisad texts that describe the dimensions of divinity using elements of the universe, which dimensions are not only spiritual but also relevant in human life. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze natural metaphors in the Upanisad by understanding how these metaphors describe the nature of God in three main aspects: truth, goodness, and beauty. This study uses a qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach to interpret the Upanisad texts contextually, accompanied by a philosophical analysis to understand the implications of natural symbolism on the concept of divinity. The results of the study show that natural metaphors are used to describe the elements of eternity, purity, and universality of God. The metaphor of nature in the Upanisad is not only an aesthetic expression, but also a profound philosophical medium to describe God as Satyam, Sivam, Sundaram. This symbolism strengthens the understanding that God is not only present in the spiritual dimension but also manifested in the harmony of the universe, so that it can inspire humans to live a life in harmony with divine principles. In addition, the results of this study are expected to be a reference for cross-disciplinary studies between philosophy, theology, and spiritual ecology, especially in linking the relationship between humans, nature, and God.

Abstract

This study is a philosophical reflection on the meaning of cosmic sound (nāda brahman) and music in the Hindu philosophical tradition as a contemplative and transformative medium for realizing harmony in life. This research aims to re-explore the metaphysical, aesthetic, and practical dimensions of musical experience as understood in classical Hindu texts. This research aims to show that sound and music, when understood philosophically, can be a medium for the formation of harmony in life and the transformation of consciousness towards a whole and integral cosmic consciousness. In the Nāṭyaśāstra, as a fundamental text of classical Indian art, Bharata Muni positions music (gāndharva) as a direct manifestation of the cosmic principle, namely rotating universal rhythms through the medium of aesthetics. Art, in this framework, is understood as an expression of cosmic movement that functions to awaken consciousness through the experience of feeling. Through a hermeneutic and phenomenological approach, this study reveals the integration of metaphysical, aesthetic, and practical dimensions in human musical experience. The results of the reflection show that aesthetic experience, as formulated in the Nāṭyaśāstra, has a transformative power: it arouses emotions, harmonizes psychic structures, and opens the way to higher consciousness. Thus, cosmic sound and music not only represent harmony, but become a medium for self-realization—as a process of unification of the microcosm (human) with the macrocosm (universe), which states that all reality essentially vibrates in one universal cosmic rhythm.

Abstract

Background: The Parāvidyā–Aparāvidyā paradigm serves as a foundational epistemological framework within the Hindu knowledge system, emphasizing the integration of material (aparā) and spiritual-transcendental (parā) dimensions. This article critically examines the relevance and urgency of this paradigm as a basis for constructing a distinct Hindu epistemology, particularly in the context of developing curricula and the educational vision of Hindu Higher Education in Indonesia. Through a philosophical analysis of primary sources such as the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad, Chāndogya Upaniṣad, and Vedānta Sūtra, this study argues that the Parāvidyā Aparāvidyā framework not only bridges empirical and spiritual knowledge, but also offers a viable alternative to the hegemony of the Western positivist paradigm that has long dominated educational systems.  Methods: Employing a qualitative-hermeneutic and conceptual approach, this paper demonstrates that the application of this paradigm can foster a holistic educational model grounded in values of civility, spirituality, and self-awareness. Finding: The findings indicate that while awareness of the duality between spiritual and worldly knowledge is growing within Hindu Religious Higher Education Institutions/Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Hindu (PTKH), its implementation remains limited and has not yet been systematically integrated into curricula, pedagogy, or assessment practices. The findings recommend a reformulation of the epistemological orientation of Hindu Higher Education toward a learning system that balances sakala and niskala aspects, thus better equipping it to address contemporary civilizational challenges in a sustainable and Dharma-based manner. Conclusion: Through a hermeneutic and transdisciplinary approach, this research has constructed an alternative epistemic model DIKWP (Data–Information–Knowledge–Wisdom–Peace), which not only expands the conventional DIKW framework but also enriches the spiritual dimension of intellectual formation. True knowledge, from a Hindu perspective, does not culminate in wisdom alone but must result in inner transformation, manifesting as peace (śānti) and spiritual liberation (mokṣa). Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in its philosophical reconstruction of the Parāvidyā–Aparāvidyā paradigm as a comprehensive epistemological framework for Hindu Higher Education in Indonesia.
