Abstract

Sex is a part of life, and even becomes an important part of survival, so that sex is used as a symbol of the cosmos, apart from that, sex is also divided into two, first, the need for procreation, and second, for recreational needs, this is where the problem is when sex it is only used as a recreational need, for the sake of pleasure alone, and to indulge in excessive lust for lack of proper knowledge of sex itself. So, Mahanirwana Tantra is present as a middle way to provide metanarations, that sex is considered to be very extraordinary, more than just sexual intercourse or lust, but a union of energies from two different universal elements, purusha and prakerti. The view of sex in mahanirvana tantra is to be able to provide truth and straighten out general views on the narrative of sex itself, as well as the correct view of the real sexual relationship. Tantra connects sex with God to see the primal origin of humans, those who do not know their origins certainly do not know the way back, the existence of the phallus yoni symbol, or naked holy statues in intercourse is not pornographic, but to invite us to understand our origins. The origin of mankind is still an unfinished debate, all just hypotheses. As a religious person, one should believe that the true origin of life is not from material intercourse, even though the visible process is material.

Abstract

Prambanan Temple is a Hindu Nusantara Theological Archetype, where the name of the Parabrahman temple becomes Prambanan which means worship of the Supreme God, or the highest temple. The pattern of temple construction that uses the Vāstupuruṣamaṇḍala pattern and the concept of worship is characterized by Hindu Theology which is universal, overshadowing all isms. Relics in the form of Prambanan Temple, the grandest temple in Nusantara, illustrate the glory of Hinduism in the past and the theological concepts and ideas of diversity that are developing today. This qualitative research examines Prambanan Temple as an Archetype of Hindu Nusantara Theology that encourages religious harmonization and upholds the concept of unity amid differences. The research was conducted in several locations, such as the Prambanan Temple Complex, the Indonesian National Museum, the Jakarta National Library, and the Yogyakarta Archaeological Agency. Data analysis was carried out using qualitative analysis known as Ethnographic Content Analysis (ECA), a combination of objective content analysis with participant observation. The original name of Prambanan Temple is Śivagrha which means House of Śiva or Śivalaya-nature of Śiva, as well as the temple of Lord Śiva. Śivagrha is a temple complex worshiping the Tri Murti, namely Brahma, Visnu, and Śiva, as the Creator, Sustainer, and Demolisher. From the structure of the building and the text search, this temple has a Śivaistic concept, namely Śiva is worshiped as the highest Devata. However, it also attracted other devotees and united them with the construction of other deities worshiped in the various temples in this complex. Thus Prambanan became a center of worship, a center for study, a center for Brahmin activities, and a spiritual center or a yatra destination for the wider community.

Abstract

Introduction: Sambhasa is the art of debate and logic in India, equipped with a structured debating method. Hindu followers have three ways to resolve issues: first is Vada (discussion), second is Samvada (dialogue), and third is Tarka (Debate). Debate is a highly intellectual and refined skill aimed at elevating Hindus from various impure beliefs and thoughts that can be detrimental to Hindu Dharma. Methods: His article represents the outcome of a textual research study that examines the content, meaning, structure, and discourse of texts. The author analyzes both published texts that have undergone text criticism and unpublished texts or manuscripts. Finding: Debating becomes a fascinating discipline, inclusive of pramana, which involves seeking fundamental truths through four methods of observation: pratyaksa, anumana, upamana, and sabda, recognized by the Nyaya system as the four valid sources of knowledge. Debate is an engaging activity for the youth believed to boost confidence and shape positive character. Conclusion: However, a drawback lies in the dominance of participants who are confident and well-versed, overshadowing those who lack confidence and expertise in competitive debate.
