Abstract

Kesamen, as a local wisdom passed down through generations, is preserved and maintained by the Sembiran community as a core part of their identity. From a social theology perspective, Kesamen represents efforts to uphold ancestral values that emphasize equality and unite the community in a socio-religious framework, while also preventing conflicts of interest. This study aims to examine the Kesamen system in the Sembiran community through the lens of social theology, particularly as a form of cultural identity preservation. The research uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods including observation, interviews, literature studies, and documentation. The findings show that Kesamen values align with the concept of social theology, reflected in daily practices such as Tri Hita Karana, Karma Phala, Tat Twam Asi, and Menyama Braya. Sembiran village is known for its rich traditions and culture, with moral values integrated into various aspects of social life, from individual relationships to community interactions. The preservation of Kesamen holds significant meaning, especially in maintaining religious values, fostering togetherness, ensuring social and cultural sustainability, and stabilizing society. In conclusion, Kesamen plays an essential role in strengthening social cohesion, preserving the cultural identity of the Sembiran community, and resisting external cultural domination. These values also boost the community's confidence in safeguarding their identity and solidarity.

Abstract

The charnel ground (sĕma/setra) is one of the locations regarded as sacred by the Balinese Hindu community, serving as a center for various religious rituals, ranging from Pitra Yadnya to less common rites such as Ngĕreh. This sacredness is illustrated in the Calon Arang performance, where the charnel ground is featured as one of the key spaces, in addition to being a significant element in the Calon Arang text. On the other hand, various media, from films to information found on the internet, often depict charnel grounds in a negative context. Observing these two contrasting portrayals, this research is aimed at investigating the differences in perception regarding the meaning of charnel grounds from the two aforementioned perspectives, focusing on the discourses surrounding charnel grounds in Calon Arang (both in the text and in performance contexts) and comparing them with narratives disseminated through popular media, while analyzing these through the lens of Balinese Hindu theology rooted in Tantric teachings. The research method employed is a semiotic approach with a descriptive qualitative framework. The findings reveal that contemporary Balinese Hindus tend to hold a negative image of charnel grounds, which is inconsistent with the theological teachings of Hinduism. This shift in perception is largely influenced by widespread information from various popular media, such as social media and the internet, which often portray charnel grounds negatively. As a result, there is a dissonance between the values taught in the Śāstra and the general public's views. Understanding this shift becomes crucial in preserving the theological values of Hinduism amid the flow of digital information. Hence, this study highlights the urgency of awareness regarding this perceptual change and the need for concrete actions to uphold the integrity of religion and culture in Bali.

Abstract

Barong Bulu Goak is a unique manifestation of culture and spirituality in Hindu society in Bali. Known for its rare and sacred presence, the Barong Bulu Goak attracts attention because it uses crow feather decoration, which is rarely used in other types of barong. This research aims to explore the theological and aesthetic depth surrounding Barong Bulu Goak in the context of Balinese culture. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the symbolic role, ritual and theological meaning of Barong Bulu Goak in Balinese society. The main focus of this research is to explore the Theo-Aesthetic aspects surrounding Barong Bulu Goak, relate it to Hindu theological concepts, and explore how the use of crow feathers as an aesthetic element influences aesthetic perception and experience. In the context of theo-aesthetics, this research explains how Hindu theological concepts related to Brahman and its manifestations in everyday life are combined with aesthetic experiences through performing arts. The results of the research present that Barong Bulu Goak shows a tendency in its appearance and rituals to exude beauty or Ramya Tattwa and also the Suwung Tattwa phase which reflects aspects of Balinese artistic aesthetics. The concept of ramya refers to the integrated beauty of make-up, movement, and rituals that attract attention and radiate feelings of joy and satisfaction in religious ceremonies. Suwung presents quiet moments that provide opportunities for spiritual reflection and deep appreciation of the presence of Barong Bulu Goak in the ritual until the peak of the experience is known as saktibhava, marking the moment where the ceremony participants feel connected spiritually which indicates the existence of Barong Bulu Goak is a creative expression which shows how spiritual and aesthetic life in the Hindu context can combine in a deep experience, giving rise to the power of spirituality in the perception of beauty.

Abstract

Memory transfer (memory trance) conceptually involves actively remembering, realizing, and inheriting values of greatness, survival, and stability in performing arts. Imagination, used to affirm memory transfer, creates mental images that emphasize large, impressive objects, ideas, or concepts, significantly influencing the inheritance of the monumental value of Balinese traditional wayang kulit performances. This research aims to first identify memory trance based on imagination in inheriting Balinese wayang kulit's monumental value; second, analyze the significance of memory trances in this inheritance. A phenomenological approach (psychology-imagination) and instrumental aesthetic theory support the qualitative research. Findings include: first, imagination memory trance reveals action phases based on imagination behavior, such as 'imagination' (transmutation of objects by the subject), ‘creativity and mental imagery’ (transformation through metacognition), ‘cultural context’ (value clarification and internalization), and 'monumental value' (understanding the majestic value). Second, the significance of imaginary memory transience impacts active behavior in inheriting Balinese wayang kulit's monumental value. It examines the audience's aesthetic experience from imaginary images presented by the puppeteer and transforms artistic sources into aesthetic elements involving socio-cultural trends, creating 'dialectics' and 'catharsis' for audience appreciation. Additionally, it involves internalizing socio-religious values, building involvement, and vertical-horizontal existence, and forming the image of wayang as monumental art.

Abstract

Environmental awareness poses a significant challenge for many communities in Indonesia, including the Hindu community in Krisik Village, Gandusari District, Blitar Regency. The concept of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmony between humans, nature, and God, offers a holistic approach to environmental education. This study aims to explore the implementation of Tri Hita Karana in environmental education and how community collaboration can strengthen this harmony. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with community leaders, teachers, and community members, and through participatory observation and document analysis. The findings reveal that the application of Tri Hita Karana in environmental education in Krisik Village has significantly increased community awareness and involvement in environmental conservation. Practices such as waste management, reforestation, and religious ceremonies that honor nature have become integral parts of daily life. Collaboration between schools, village government, and the local community has proven effective in supporting sustainable environmental initiatives. Furthermore, the values of Tri Hita Karana have helped the community develop a more sustainable approach to the environment, strengthening social and spiritual bonds within the community. This study concludes that a local wisdom-based approach like Tri Hita Karana can serve as an effective model in environmental education, contributing significantly to the development of sustainable and culturally rooted environmental education policies.

Abstract

Currently there is a dichotomy between Hindu India and Hindu Nusantara. This article seeks to find the meaning of Hindu Nusantara, a term used by Indonesian Hindus, including in government policy-making, in the absence of a clear definition. The research employed a qualitative approach, utilizing theoretical analysis and document research to explore the historical evolution and contemporary expression of Hinduism in Indonesia. Agama Hindu Indonesia rejects international Hindu missionary movements, although it is also a national missionary movement. This missionary activity results in the first definition of Hindu Nusantara; a local ancestral religion that becomes a sect or part of Agama Hindu Indonesia. However, since indigenous religions can be recognized as belief systems (aliran kepercayaan), Hindu Nusantara turned into a counter-movement to Hindu missionaries from India. Similar to Islam Nusantara, it became a form of Hinduism that resonates with Indonesian customs and culture. This research also discusses the possible impacts of Hindu Nusantara; (1) the return of Hindu Nusantara sects to ancestral religion, (2) increased intolerance towards Indians and their form of Hinduism, and (3) Balinese preferring to opt out of Hinduism altogether to assert their own religious identity. The phenomenon of Hindu Nusantara suggests that movements within Indonesian Hinduism are often reactive, lacking thoughtful insight, in-depth study, and careful discernment.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the themes of flora and fauna motifs on Hindu temples during the Srivijaya period as part of the study of the history and art of religious architecture. The main objective is to understand how these motifs reflect the cosmology and spiritual values ​​of Hindu society during that period. The research methods used include descriptive analysis of temple reliefs in Sumatra, literature review of archaeological sources, and comparison with motifs on other Hindu temples in Southeast Asia. This analysis technique involves detailed observation of floral elements such as leaves, lotus flowers, and trees, as well as fauna such as birds, snakes, and mythological animals, which are often found on temple reliefs. The discussion focuses on the symbolic meaning of these motifs, where flora is often associated with fertility and life, while fauna symbolizes strength and wisdom. This study also discusses how these motifs function as a medium to convey spiritual values ​​and emphasize the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. The conclusion of this study shows that the flora and fauna motifs on Srivijaya Hindu temples not only function as aesthetic elements, but also have deep religious meanings. These motifs provide important insights into how the Srivijaya people combined their beliefs with a respect for nature, as well as their contribution to the understanding of Hindu history and culture in the archipelago.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the transformation of Hindu religious teachings in fostering intellectual, moral, and spiritual balance among students at UWP Vidya Wisata Kubutambahan. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, documentation, and focused group discussions with subjects including students, teachers, the principal, and Hindu religious education program managers. The findings indicate that the integration of Hindu religious values into the school schedule at UWP Vidya Wisata Kubutambahan is implemented through specific Hindu religious subjects, the application of values in other subjects, and extracurricular activities. Teachers play a crucial role in this transformation process through training and a holistic approach that combines cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. The impact of integrating Hindu religious values is reflected in students' increased intellectual understanding of Hindu teachings, the strengthening of moral values such as honesty and responsibility, and spiritual balance characterized by heightened spiritual awareness and stress management abilities. However, the research also identifies challenges such as resistance to change, limited resources, and diverse student backgrounds that affect program implementation. Based on these findings, it is recommended to continue developing a curriculum that integrates Hindu values more comprehensively, enhance teacher training, and provide more supportive resources and facilities. This is expected to make the transformation of Hindu religious teachings more effective in building intellectual, moral, and spiritual balance among students at UWP Vidya Wisata Kubutambahan.

Abstract

The statue of Goddess Durga and the childbirth statue are examples of sexual sculptures in Pura Dalem Dasar Purwa, Pengastulan Village, which reflect the teachings of Tantrayana. Their existence is believed to symbolize safety and fertility, influencing religious ritual activities. This research aims to examine the influence of Tantrayana on the sexual statues at Pura Dalem Dasar Purwa and its impact on the Hindu community in Pengstulan Village. This study employs a qualitative method with a theological approach. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and literature study. The results of this study show that the statue of Goddess Durga is one form of yantra application in worshiping Sakti, believed to be a symbol of protection and serves as the foundation for the implementation of the mapinunasan gegemet (protection) ritual to Ida Bhatari Dalem. This practice is a significant feature of tantric belief, an esoteric practice of power and Sakti's expression. Another statue reflecting the influence of tantra is the childbirth statue or brayut statue, believed to symbolize fertility. This statue serves as the basis for the ritual activity of mapinunasan sentana (descendants) by the local Hindu community. The presence of these sexual statues has impacted the social and religious life of Hindus in Pengstulan Village, especially for those who have succeeded and benefited from the practice of mapinunasan. It has strengthened solidarity bonds, manifested through communal activities. The conclusion of this study is that the statue of Goddess Durga and the childbirth statue reflect the teachings of Tantrayana, believed to be symbols of safety and fertility. Their existence influences religious rituals in Pura Dalem Dasar Purwa, which in turn affects the social and religious life of the Hindu community in Pengstulan Village.

Abstract

Satua is a Balinese traditional fairy tale or literary work in prose that contains life values, one of which is Satua Tong! Ceng! Pung! Pung! Jir! as the object of research. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Balinese satua can educate children's character and foster a sense of religious moderation in Bali. This study uses transformation theory, sociological theory, and ethnopedagogy theory supported by analytical descriptive methods and reading techniques in analyzing data. The results of this study are (1) revitalizing Balinese language satua by transforming books into learning videos that contain the values ​​of the Pancasila student profile dimensions. (2) There are three basic frameworks of Hinduism in satua, including: (a) Tatwa (philosophy) there are five philosophies of faith as the basis of belief called Panca Sradha, (b) Susila (ethics) there are Tat Twam Asi and Tri Kaya Parisudha which emphasize the attitude of mutual belonging and feeling as fellow living beings. (c) Ceremony (ritual) there is a sincere holy sacrifice called Yadnya which consists of five parts called Panca Yadnya. (3) Based on the responses of teaching teachers and the responses of 161 students from 9 elementary schools in Bali, 20.36% chose neutral, 49.87% agreed, and 29.76% strongly agreed. Thus, the use of learning video media can increase students' interest in learning and shape children's character according to the profile of Pancasila students, as well as foster an attitude of religious moderation in Bali.
