Abstract

Background: This study focuses on improving the performance of public relations (Pranata Humas) at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Bangli Regency, using the Tri Hita Karana philosophy as a framework. Tri Hita Karana is a Balinese concept emphasizing harmonious relationships between humans, God, others, and nature. Pranata Humas plays a key role in disseminating information about government programs and activities to the public, but faces challenges such as a lack of understanding of Tri Hita Karana and limited community engagement. Methods: The study employs a strategic approach, which includes in-depth education and training for public relations staff on the values of Tri Hita Karana, strengthening collaboration with local communities and NGOs, and leveraging information technology and social media to improve outreach. Findings: The proposed strategies are expected to enhance the understanding of local cultural values among public relations personnel, foster stronger community involvement in government-promoted activities, and improve information dissemination using modern communication tools. Conclusion: By implementing these strategies, the performance of Pranata Humas can be significantly improved, leading to better communication between the government and the public, while promoting harmonious local cultural values. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This research introduces the integration of Tri Hita Karana, a unique Balinese cultural philosophy, into public relations strategies within a government institution, aiming to improve both performance and cultural alignment in public communication efforts.

Abstract

Background: Human life is essentially finite, requiring a philosophical and ethical foundation that can guide humans in facing limitations with meaning and balance. Dharma as the principle of universal truth and Prema as transcendent love are the core of Hindu teachings that can be revitalized as the foundation of a love-based curriculum. This study aims to formulate a conceptual model of a Dharma and Prema-based curriculum that is relevant in facing the finite reality of life. Methods: Using a qualitative approach based on critical literature review, this study examines Hindu sacred texts, educational philosophy literature, and contemporary spirituality theories to construct an integrative theoretical framework. Findings: The findings show that Dharma and Prema, when constructed in a love-based curriculum, are capable of fostering ethical awareness, emotional balance, and strengthening individual spirituality in facing suffering, loss, and the transience of life. This model differs from conventional moral curricula because it integrates the transcendental dimensions of Hinduism with modern educational practices, thereby contributing new insights to the development of a love-based spiritual curriculum. Conclusion: In conclusion, the revitalization of Dharma and Prema as a Hindu love curriculum offers an innovative perspective for facing the limitations of life with full awareness, meaning, and inner peace. Novelty/Originality of this article: The originality of this article lies in the development of the concept of a Hindu love curriculum that emphasizes the synthesis between transcendental values and contemporary pedagogical practices, an aspect that has not been widely explored in the literature on spiritual education.
