Abstract

Sesolahan Napak Pertiwi at Pura Dalem Penataran is a sacred artistic practice that combines religious expression, the aesthetics of Barong-Rangda dance drama, and the preservation of the Balinese language. One important element in this performance is ucap-ucap Rangda, which functions not only as a dramatic element, but also as a sacred expression containing literary, symbolic, and spiritual values. This study aims to describe the formation process of ucap-ucap Rangda, the meanings and signs contained within it, and the spiritual conditions that emerge during the implementation of Sesolahan Napak Pertiwi. This research applies a qualitative approach supported by structuralism theory and spiritual transformation theory. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study, then analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that ucap-ucap Rangda was formed through a process of traditional inheritance related to the history of the performance and the repeated use of sacred lyrics in a ritual context. Ucap-ucap Rangda contains distinctive linguistic structures, symbols of religious power, and spiritual signs that connect the performance with the beliefs of its supporting community. Furthermore, the spiritual conditions in Sesolahan Napak Pertiwi appear in four stages: initial awareness, purification, transcendental experience, and realignment. These stages indicate an inner transformation from self-preparation toward sacred unity and finally a return to socio-religious balance. This study concludes that Sesolahan Napak Pertiwi serves not only as a sacred performance, but also as a medium for preserving the Balinese language, transmitting spiritual values, and strengthening local cultural identity.

Abstract

In contemporary society, digital culture has played a major role in transforming how people experience and express spirituality. The advent of online faith communities, virtual rituals, and digital preaching hints that religious experience is no longer exclusively reliant on local sacred spaces or established institutional authority. This article studies the phenomenology of virtual spirituality in complex digital culture by analyzing the novel transformations of agency, orders of authority, sacred-symbol systems, and affective religious experience. Using qualitative-analytical methods guided by a thorough literature review, supplemented by select secondary empirical studies, this analysis integrates the sociology of religion, symbolic anthropology, and digital religion studies. Four findings are central: (1) networked faith communities function as infrastructures of psychosocial-spiritual support, (2) digital ritual-devotional practice that reconfigure sacred presence mediations, (3) hybrid religious authority emerging from platform visibility-interaction, (4) recontextualization of sacred symbols through remediation-personalization in a "spiritual marketplace." These findings imply that virtual spirituality is not simply a technological adaptation and signal an ontological change in the production and negotiation of sacrality in digital ecologies.

Abstract

A name is not merely a personal label; it represents a complex symbol encompassing social identity, power relations, spiritual significance, and cultural unification. This article explores the role of names in Hindu communities in Bali and West Lombok through four key lenses: as markers of individual and social identity, as instruments for sustaining traditional hierarchies, as symbols of religious meaning and spiritual protection, and as representations of identity in the digital age. Utilizing a symbolic-cultural and interdisciplinary approach, the study demonstrates how names serve both cognitive and performative functions-shaping identity, reinforcing authority, and mediating between the seen (sekala) and unseen (niskala) dimensions of life. In the last decade, digital transformation has introduced new layers of meaning, as names increasingly operate as online identities through social media, localized scripts in domain names, and digital administrative platforms. Despite these changes, symbolic and spiritual meanings remain robust, supported by processes of cultural adaptation and innovation. The article concludes that the cultural significance of names in Bali and West Lombok reflects an ongoing negotiation between tradition and modernity, emphasizing the importance of symbolic interpretation and culturally grounded digital practices for heritage preservation.

Abstract

Flowers are central to Balinese Hindu ritual practice, but previous studies have interpreted them mainly as ritual ornaments, symbolic offerings, or aesthetic complements to ceremonial performance. Much less scholarly attention has been paid to their role as embodied aesthetic media at the intersection of sensory perception, religious experience, and cultural meaning. This study addresses that gap by investigating flowers as integrative media in Balinese Hindu ritual, linking materiality, symbolism, ethics, and spirituality. It adopts a qualitative ethnographic approach based on field observations, in-depth interviews with Hindu priests and ritual practitioners, and textual analysis of the Agastya Parwa. The analysis is also informed by Hindu Aesthetics (Triguna, 2025), symbolic anthropology, and ritual studies. The results show that flowers are not merely aesthetic objects but ritual media embodied in four interrelated dimensions: material, ethical, symbolic-cosmological, and spiritual. Together, these dimensions transform sensory experience into sacred experience. The study reveals the distinctive symbolic roles of ritual flowers, including the lotus (tunjung) as a cosmological symbol of purity and cosmic order, and the white frangipani (Plumeria alba) as an aesthetic conduit of everyday devotion and cultural continuity. Based on these findings, this article proposes the Balinese Hindu Ritual Aesthetics Model, which approaches ritual aesthetics as a holistic religious experience constructed through the interaction of material objects, embodied practice, symbolic meaning, and spiritual consciousness. This model contributes to debates in the anthropology of religion, material religion, ritual studies, and embodied aesthetics by showing that flowers are shared cultural media through which religious values, cultural memory, and cultural resilience are continually reproduced in Balinese Hindu society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Tri Hita Karana as a philosophical foundation for developing a multicultural community and to examine its implications for Hindu Religious Education in Piling Traditional Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency. The social life of Piling Traditional Village is characterized by religious and sociocultural diversity, requiring the cultivation of harmony, tolerance, mutual cooperation, and respect for differences. In this context, Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmonious relationships between humans and God (parhyangan), humans and fellow human beings (pawongan), and humans and the natural environment (palemahan), provides a relevant philosophical framework for fostering an inclusive and harmonious multicultural society. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-interpretive research design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving traditional leaders, religious leaders, community members, and stakeholders involved in Hindu Religious Education. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and philosophical interpretation of the community's social and religious practices. The findings indicate that the implementation of Tri Hita Karana in Piling Traditional Village is not limited to Hindu religious activities but is also manifested in patterns of social interaction, mutual cooperation, respect for religious differences, environmental awareness, and community participation in various social activities. The pawongan dimension plays a particularly significant role in fostering harmonious relationships among people of different religious backgrounds, while parhyangan and palemahan provide spiritual and ecological foundations for communal life. These practices have significant implications for Hindu Religious Education, particularly in developing learning processes that go beyond the transmission of religious knowledge toward the formation of tolerant, inclusive, humanistic, ecological, and pluralism-oriented character. Therefore, Tri Hita Karana can be reconstructed as a contextual and multicultural paradigm for Hindu Religious Education, in which religious values are not confined to the doctrinal domain but are transformed into lived.
