<![CDATA[Education in the era of globalization faces increasingly complex challenges, particularly in building student character that is capable of facing social, cultural, and technological dynamics. In Indonesia, education focuses not only on intellectual development but also on the formation of moral and spiritual values. In this context, the application of Hindu literature values is strategically relevant to meet the needs of holistic education. Hindu literature, including sacred texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Itihasa, Puranas, and other literary works, teaches universal principles of life such as truth (satya), non-violence (ahimsa), devotion (bhakti), and moral responsibility (dharma). A verse from the Rg Veda states: सत्यं एव जयते नानृतं ("Satyam eva jayate nanritam", Rg Veda 10.11.11), meaning "Only truth prevails, not falsehood." This verse emphasizes the importance of truth as the foundation of human life. In the context of education, this value aligns with the goal of building a character of honesty and morality in students. The current reality (Das Sein) reveals that Hindu religious education in schools faces fundamental problems. One major issue is the low interest of students in religious studies, as many view the subject as monotonous and irrelevant to daily life. Additionally, studies show that limited teaching materials and methods inhibit the delivery of the noble values contained in Hindu literature. Meanwhile, the ideal state (Das Sollen) calls for a transformation in Hindu religious education. Ideally, this education should integrate Hindu literary values into the curriculum in a systematic, creative, and relevant manner. This approach aims not only to deepen students' understanding of religious teachings but also to build character rooted in spiritual and moral values. In light of current strategic issues, the education system faces global challenges such as moral crises, radicalism, and value shifts due to digital technology. In this situation, the application of Hindu literature values becomes increasingly important as a strong moral foundation for students. Furthermore, Hindu literature, when applied consistently, can serve as a shield against the negative influences of modernization and globalization. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Hindu literary values in Hindu religious education in schools. It seeks to answer fundamental questions such as how these values can be integrated into the curriculum, what challenges are faced in implementation, and what strategies can be employed to improve the effectiveness of value-based learning. This research is expected to provide significant contributions to the development of Hindu religious education in Indonesia and address the strategic challenges currently faced by the education system.]]>
