Abstract

The people at Serangan and Tanjung Benoa Villages have a habit to kill turtles for sale,consumption, custom and religion. They were all restless when their habit was hegomonized bythe government by applying the Act concerning scarce animal conservation. The people urgedthat they be provided with freedom in killing turtles, but the government still intends to stopkilling turtles at the two villages. The two different interests have resulted in a controversy overthe exploitation of turtles making the Bali community as a whole called the killers of turtles.The title of this study is the Exploitation and Protection of Turtles at Serangan andTanjung Benoa Villages, South Bali: in the Perspective of Cultural Studies. The subjectsdiscussed are how the exploitation and protection of turtles implemented, what factorsmotivating their exploitation and protection, what meaningfulness is made to appear by theirexploitation and protection.Qualitative method was used. The data needed were collected by interview,observation, documentation of the secondary data. The data were descriptively and qualitativelyanalyzed using the theory of discourse, the theory of deconstruction, the theory of hegemony andthe perspective of cultural studies.The research findings show that before the Acts Number 7 and 8 of 1999 concerningconservation of scarce animals, exploitation of turtles was part of the people’s life in South Bali.However, after 2005, such constitution has changed from being done in an extractive way tobeing done in a non-extractive way. Meaningfulness to turtles has also changed, from beingexploited to being conserved. Such a conservation has been done by releasing tukiks ( turtles’babies) to the sea. Since 2005, a change has also taken place with regard to the turtles killed forreligious and traditional ceremonies. Formerly, many big turtles were used for religious andtraditional ceremonies, but now only a few and small ones are used. If none is found, ducks areused to replace the turtles.

Abstract

The existence of upakara plants in Bali is increasingly rare. This happens because of the increasingly massive implementation of the ceremony and the community is less concerned about its preservation. On that basis, it is very urgent to plant upakara plants in Bali because in addition to supplying the need for ceremony materials, it is also a form of environmental preservation or conservation of rare plants. This work describes how the scarcity of these plants is along with the efforts to be made to overcome them. One effort that can be done is by replanting and then inspiring everyone to realize that planting upakara plants both in the yard and in the form of a gumi banten garden is very important. Bali will look beautiful if this upakara plant is planted in every yard because it also acts as an ornamental plant. I Gusti Bagus Sugriwa's Doctoral Program at UHN, through community service, seeks to inspire the youth at the Gandhi Puri Ashram about the importance of this upakara plant and directly plant upakara plants at the Ashram location. Through this program, it is hoped that the land in the Gandhi Puri Ashram will be overgrown with various types of upakara plants and the awareness of the residents to actively plant upakara plants and inspire others to actively contribute to preserving the rarer upakara plants.

Abstract

The functions of coconuts are many. Besides for consumption purposes, coconut is also widely used as a means of ceremonies in Bali. Its use has increased in recent years so its availability also needs to be improved. Especially for upakara coconut is becoming increasingly rare nowadays because growing it is not easy. For example, a giant coconut, in addition to producing little fruit, also needs special care and a special place to grow it—likewise several other types of coconut. Thus, the Postgraduate Doctoral Program at UHN I Gusti Bagus Sugriwa Denpasar took the initiative to carry out study-based service in the form of orientation and planting coconut species for ceremonies in Santi hamlet, Selat village, Selat sub-district, Karangasem. Descriptively this work tries to narrate the service activities along with several types of upakara coconut plants planted there. The community in Santi hamlet itself is very enthusiastic about planting these plants and directly getting the benefits.

Abstract

Background: Background: Religion is often considered as a cause of environmental problems. In response to this pessimism, Buddhism through the philosophy of Dharma comes up as revolutionary perspective in shaping contemporary environmental development paradigm, a counter for modern Cartesian-Newtonian paradigm. This philosophy is embodied in the concept of paṭiccasamuppāda applied as “scalpel” on existing environmental problems. Methods: This research uses a qualitative case study to explore the revival of Ancient Balinese Yoga as a spiritual tourism destination. Data were collected through interviews, observations, document analysis, and FGDs. Data analysis included transcription, coding, thematic analysis, and contextual interpretation, with triangulation to validate findings. Findings:  Currently, there are significant efforts to revive Ancient Balinese Yoga as a spiritual tourism destination in Bali. Especially with the increasing of global interest in wellness and spirituality, Bali has great potential to attract tourists seeking authentic spiritual experiences. This involves the restoration and revitalization of traditional practices, including the hosting of yoga retreats, spiritual training, and festivals featuring ancient aspects of Balinese yoga and meditation. The development of spiritual tourism based on Ancient Balinese Yoga focuses on maintaining the authenticity of the practice while adapting to the needs and expectations of modern tourists. Conclusion: By combining yoga training with cultural tours, spiritual seminars, and meditation programs, Bali can position itself as a major hub for global spiritual tourism. Reviving Ancient Balinese Yoga as a spiritual tourism destination also supports the preservation of Bali's cultural and spiritual heritage, provides economic benefits to local communities, and enriches the traveler’s experience with authentic spiritual depth. Novelty/Originality of this article: By bridging Buddhist philosophy with the revival of Ancient Balinese Yoga, this research offers a novel perspective on addressing contemporary ecological challenges, highlighting the interconnectedness of all life and proposing spiritual practices as essential components of sustainable development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of a leadership system based on Asta Brata in character education at Taruna Mandara High School. Asta Brata Hindu philosophy that includes eight principles of leadership inspired by the attributes of the gods, such as justice (Surya Brata), gentleness (Candra Brata), and responsibility (Baruna Brata). The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach, involving observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The results of the study indicate that the application of Asta Brata successfully formed the character of students who are disciplined, tolerant, have integrity, and have leadership. These values are internalized through personality training, character assessment, and the role model of educators. However, challenges such as differences in student backgrounds, lack of in-depth understanding of the philosophy Asta Brata, and the influence of the external environment hinders the optimization of this system. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating local wisdom into modern education to build a generation that is not only academically intelligent but also has strong character. Recommendations include more intensive teacher training, more creative learning approaches, and strengthening collaboration between schools, families, and communities. Thus, Asta  Brata can be a model of relevant and sustainable character education in the era of globalization.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a travel package centered on Ancient Balinese Yoga, based at the Hindu State University of I Gusti Bagus Sugriwa Denpasar. The tourism package is designed to highlight Bali's spiritual heritage through yoga practices rooted in Hindu Dharma teachings and the local philosophy of the Watukaru tradition. The research employs an Ethnographic Content Analysis (ECA) approach to qualitative data obtained through in-depth interviews, observation of yoga practices, focus group discussions, and literature review. The findings reveal that Ancient Balinese Yoga possesses distinctive characteristics compared to other forms of yoga, particularly in its integration of movement (yogācāra), pranayama, mantra, and Balinese spiritual teachings. The development potential is reflected in four key aspects: uniqueness and authenticity, aesthetic value, spiritual value and character formation, as well as holistic health benefits. This study concludes that Ancient Balinese Yoga holds significant potential as an international spiritual tourism destination, contributing meaningfully to cultural preservation, the strengthening of Bali’s spiritual identity, and the advancement of educational and sustainable tourism.

Abstract

Various questions arise in the community, whether this OṀ-kāra is a product of Balinese culture or whether this script is a derivative of OM-kāra from India. This research raises the question of how is the origin and evolution of the OṀ-kāra script in Bali? This research data was collected through a literature study and supplemented by interviews. The results of this research are in the form of the history of the script that developed in Bali, namely Pre-Nagari and Ancient Bali including Bali Lumrah which was used to write down the origin and evolution of the sacred script OṀ-kāra in Bali. Based on the results of this study, it is known that this sacred script was derived through two scripts in Bali in the VIIIth/ IXth centuries, namely Pre-Nagari and Ancient Balinese, which were derivatives of the Brahmi script. However, this sacred script has not envolved after the VIIIth century in the pre-Nagari script. Instead, what is seen in its evolution is the sacred OṀ-kāra script written using the Balinese Lumrah script, which is a derivative of the Old Balinese script, from the niskala to the birth of creation theology.  Based on the evolution of this sacred script, it is known that OṀ-kāra is a sacred script as a symbol of God/ Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa who niskala, then from the niskala, evolved into the nature of niskala-sakala, Nirguna-Saguna, Paramasiwa-Sadasiwa.

Abstract

This study examines the revitalization of ancient Balinese yoga as a sustainable spiritual tourism product rooted in the concept of divine transcendence. Ancient Balinese yoga, which has preserved 14 lineages of world yoga since 541 AD, is a unique cultural heritage that has not been widely utilized in modern tourism. Using a mixed-methods approach that involves qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, focus group discussions, and a quantitative survey of 150 potential tourists, this study formulates a strategic framework for developing this traditional form of yoga into an authentic and sustainable spiritual tourism product. The study's results demonstrate significant potential for revitalizing ancient Balinese yoga, focusing on three key dimensions: authenticity preservation, marketability, and local community engagement. Four strategic tourism packages are proposed: cultural performances, training programs, retreat packages, and instructor courses. This study highlights key success factors such as instructor development, infrastructure needs, and marketing strategies that maintain cultural integrity while meeting modern tourism demands.
