Abstract

This study explores the integration of Hindu ethical principles into the financial governance of Village Credit Institutions (LPDs) in Bali and its contribution to institutional sustainability. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research combines hermeneutic interpretation of sacred Hindu scriptures-Rgveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda, Bhagawad Gita, Sarasamuccaya, Manusmrti, and Arthasastra-with quantitative analysis of financial performance across 1.308 LPDs in nine regencies. Four core principles-Karma (ethical productivity), Dharma (social responsibility), Kama (motivational fulfillment), and Artha (material prosperity)-are operationalized within a holistic model of Hindu-based financial management. Empirical testing confirms are positive relationship between these principles and financial indicators such as profit margin, return on assets, and capital growth. The findings demonstrate that Hindu-based financial governance enhances accountability, strengthens community trust, improves leadership integrity, and promotes long-term business sustainability. This study provides a culturally grounded and ethically robust framework for developing resilient and inclusive community-based microfinance institutions in plural financial systems.

Abstract

This research discusses the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology with a Natural Language Processing (NLP) approach in the study of Hindu literature, especially in the text of Ṛgveda Mandala 1 Sukta 1. The analysis was conducted through the stages of tokenization, lemmatization, and topic modeling to identify keywords, frequency of occurrence, and main themes in the text. The results found four central themes: (1) ritual (yajña), (2) theological (Agni's role as an intermediary between humans and gods), (3) spiritual and material goals (ratna), and (4) cosmic order (ṛta). AI  findings were then compared with traditional philological interpretations that emphasize philosophical meaning, symbolism, and historical context. The comparison results show that AI excels in speed, scale, and consistency of analysis, while traditional philology is stronger in providing depth of interpretation and understanding spiritual values. This study concludes that the integration of AI with the philological approach can result in a more comprehensive, rapid, and faithful study of the Vedas.

Abstract

Candi Sukuh, located on the slopes of Mount Lawu, is a late Majapahit monument that prominently displays Tantric symbolism. Its terraced pyramid architecture, lingga–yoni reliefs, and erotic iconography reveal the dominance of Tantric teachings in the candi’s cosmological narrative. This study aims to examine the relevance of Tantra in Hinduism as embodied in the architecture, iconography, and symbolism of Candi Sukuh, while also uncovering its contribution to the enrichment of Hindu philosophy in the Indonesian archipelago. The method employed is qualitative-descriptive analysis with a literature review approach, utilizing studies in archaeology, history of religion, and Hindu philosophy. Data are drawn from journals, books, and prior research on Tantra and Candi Sukuh. The analysis indicates that the candi’s symbols are not merely erotic but represent the unity of body, cosmos, and spirit. The lingga–yoni reliefs emphasize the balance of masculine–feminine energies (Śiva–Śakti) sustaining the cosmos, where sexuality is understood as a sacred power leading toward mokṣa. The findings affirm Candi Sukuh as both a symbolic text and a philosophical heritage enriching the dynamics of Hindu thought in Java.

Abstract

This study analyzes the internalization of character education based on Hindu and Kaharingan values at Pasraman Parentas, focusing on customs, ritual experiences, and teacher role models. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically. The findings reveal three pillars of character building: Hindu ethical education (tat twam asi and telu kapatut), reinforcement of values through rituals (Basarah, Tri Sandhya, Yoga), and teachers as role models. Character education here is not limited to cognition, but integrates cognition, emotion, and action. Habituation through social interaction, active participation in rituals, and teachers who serve as role models effectively foster honesty, self-control, loyalty, discipline, responsibility, and awareness of unity. This holistic and contextual model, which combines Hindu teachings and local Kaharingan wisdom, has proven effective in shaping students' moral and spiritual identities while remaining relevant in the context of multiculturalism and the challenges of globalization.

Abstract

Hindu rituals in Bali are not only religious in nature but also embody holistic health values, encompassing both physical and spiritual dimensions. This study aims to examine the relationship between the practice of Balinese Hindu rituals and efforts to maintain and improve community health. The method employed is a qualitative approach through literature review and in-depth interviews with ritual practitioners and traditional healers. The findings reveal that rituals such as melukat (purification), usadha Bali (traditional healing), yoga, meditation, and Bhuta Yadnya function as means of self-purification, disease prevention, and energy restoration. Physically, the use of natural elements such as holy water, herbs, incense, and fire provides antiseptic, relaxation, and detoxification benefits. Spiritually, the rituals strengthen the individual’s relationship with God, ancestors, and nature, thus producing calming effects, reducing stress, and enhancing emotional balance. The concept of Tri Hita Karana serves as the philosophical foundation that integrates bodily, mental, and environmental health. These findings affirm that Balinese Hindu rituals hold significant relevance for contemporary holistic health concepts and have the potential to be developed as the basis for spiritual health tourism. Integration between traditional practices and modern medicine can further expand the benefits of rituals for both local and global communities.
