Abstract

This study aims to find an increase in the role of Hindu religious education in building the humanist and pluralist youth characters. Youth is a transition from childhood to adulthood, wherein the development phase has to undergo various tensions, one of them is emotional tension resulting from relationships. Youth is often not able to overcome the problems associated with emotional control maximally hence they fall into less humanistic and pluralistic relationships or even lead to juvenile delinquency. The low ability of youths in controlling emotions is caused by the lack of religious teachings internalization properly. If religion properly internalized in teenagers, it can foster and shape good emotional control, hence teenage lives will be more directed and all forms of inhumane and pluralist behavior in life between people can be avoided. Hindu religious education has an important role in developing humanist and pluralist youth in multicultural life.

Abstract

Lately, it's easier to spread hate speech, the loss of humanity and human concern for the universe, this indicates the world is not fine and far from harmony. Seeing this phenomenon, it is interesting to examine the philosophical thoughts initiated by a philosopher Adi Śaṅkarācārya who is known as Advaita Vedānta. Advaita means no dualism. The Advaita Śaṅkarācārya system denies the existence of more than one reality. Brahman is the only reality that exists. Nature is an appearance or illusion of Brahman but reality is relative. While the individual/jiva/personal spirit is no different from Brahman but in reality it is also relative because it is caused by the fetters of avidya and manifests itself with the additional means of upadhi. This study tries to describe the basic concept of Advaita Vedānta in the vakya (speech) Upaniṣad in the present life. This becomes one of the ways to achieve divine awareness in realizing the Self by seeing everything is Brahman.

Abstract

The holy book of Hinduism, namely the Vedas, is a source of spiritual knowledge and scientific knowledge. Yoga and Āyurveda are part of Hindu science. Both are sources of holistic health science, where yoga is part of Sad Darsana and Āyurveda as a derivation of Caturveda, especially Ṛgveda. Yoga and Āyurveda will show their integrative relationship when viewed from the derivations or branches of the sacred Caturveda literature. If Caturveda is directly related to the ways of carrying out the union of the self with God using the ritual path, then Yoga Darsana is related to the discipline of self-unification using the path of physical, mental and spiritual health. In short, to attain union with God throughout life requires knowledge of yoga and Āyurveda, both theoretically and practically. One of the goals of health science is to provide a better life for humans. This health science provides knowledge about how to prevent and treat disease disorders. So the knowledge of yoga and Āyurveda is also learned to balance health conditions. If the science of Āyurveda can treat the human body, then the science of yoga can perfect this knowledge by being able to realize the balance of body, mind and spirit. That's moksartham Jagadhita ya ca iti dharma. If this information is conveyed communicatively by Hindus and readers of Hindu teachings, then misunderstanding of a knowledge can be avoided and then physical, mental and spiritual health will be achieved.

Abstract

Every action will produce a result (phala) which leads to two motives, namely attachment and freedom. Humans in their lives can choose which goals they will achieve. Do they choose to be bound by the results of each work or otherwise surrender all the results of their work as an offering to God. Work done as an offering to God will achieve liberation and joy, on the other hand, work done with the motive of hoping for the result (phala) as a reward will increase the feeling of attachment and sorrow. Therefore, people who want to find happiness and true self must place their goals in work that are entirely an offering to God. This is what is meant by Theology of Work or the term in Bhagavad Gītā is called Karma Yoga, which is the highest knowledge of a main Principle of Work. The realization of an understanding of the real concept about Theologi of Work can help humans break the chain of reincarnation (punarbhava) by presenting God in every work activity, whether in the form of actions, speech or thoughts.

Abstract

Everyone has a desire to understand God. But not a single human can show any evidence that they have seen God or heard God speak to them. After understanding the essence of God, even though they wanted to express their experience of seeking God, it was still very difficult for them to express God in words. A wise man said, don't argue about God with your mind, because God is as many as human thoughts. So this research aims to provide a way of understanding God in a wise way according to the essence of studying philosophy. This research is a qualitative research that uses descriptive analysis method with library research techniques, and a Hindu divinity philosophy approach, namely the search for God by speculating radical philosophical thoughts according to Vedānta. The philosophy of God in this study refers to the Upanișad literature. As an effort to understand God which is the essence of the highest reality through reason. God is understood through formal objects and material objects of philosophy, which are formulated through logical arguments in the Upanișads. The final result in the search for divinity within oneself is attaining Self-Realization while living in the world (Jivanmukti). It is also said to be the eternal bliss that results from meeting God in the mind. Enjoying the peace of God created by thought is the result of practice. Discussion of God in philosophy will never judge other people's thought processes in understanding God, because everyone will meet God according to their own thoughts and thought processes. That is the correct way of seeking God based on the Philosophy of 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

Humans are the most perfect of all creatures, because only humans possess the ability to distinguish between the eternal and the transient. Furthermore, humans possess the awareness that they are not a material body, but the Atman, which is identical with Brahman. Advaita Vedanta theology and philosophy teach that Brahman pervades the universe. Therefore, Brahman and the Universe and all its contents are one. The Universe and all its contents are the material body of Brahman. Therefore, a practical understanding of Brahman can be observed through the Rtams, or Laws of Nature.Awareness of the Atman in humans is paramount in human life. Through awareness of the Atman, humans understand the existence of God behind all things. Awareness of the Atman makes humans wise, able to perceive God's presence in all things, as the Chandogya Upanisad states, "sarva khalv idam brahman," meaning "everything is God." Thus, Advaita Vedanta teaches that God, as the Subtle Substance, permeates all atomic particles of the Universe. Thus, all natural phenomena are a Cosmic Dance known as the Sivanataraja Dance or the Tandava Dance. Therefore, Rtam, or the Laws of Nature, can be used as a medium of contemplation to discover the traces of the Creator behind all natural phenomena.This research is qualitative, with data in the form of a summary of words obtained through literatures. Using Symbol Theory and Qualitative Interpretive Analysis, the authors conclude that the Laws of Nature are a manifestation of the dance of universal Truth (Satyam), which possesses the values of universal Virtue (Sivam) and universal Beauty (Sundaram). Humans who possess a perspective in accordance with the teachings of Advaita Vedanta will be able to see and experience the world and all its natural phenomena as an expression of Satyam, Sivam Sundaram, or a blissful Heaven.
