Abstract

This study aims to examine the communication management that takes place in the Nyepi Day celebration in Lombok, with a focus on the integration between local traditions and the influence of modernity. Nyepi Day is one of the holy days in Hinduism that has deep meaning in the teachings of the Vedas, and involves a series of profound and symbolic rituals. In the context of Lombok, the Nyepi celebration shows the interaction between traditional communication maintained by the indigenous community and the use of digital media that is increasingly growing, especially among the younger generation. The research method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with religious leaders, customary leaders, and Hindu youth in Lombok, as well as participant observation of the procession and digital communication related to Nyepi. This study also examines the theory of ritual communication, new media theory, and diffusion of innovation theory to explain the dynamics of communication that occurs. The results of the study indicate that although digital media plays an increasingly large role in disseminating information about Nyepi, traditional communication involving direct interaction between community members and the delivery of religious teachings by customary leaders still plays an important role in strengthening the spiritual meaning of the celebration. The integration of social media and other digital platforms has succeeded in expanding the reach of information and increasing community participation, but also presents challenges in maintaining the depth of religious and cultural values. In conclusion, communication management in the Nyepi Day celebration in Lombok shows success in combining traditional and modern elements, creating an inclusive communication space, and strengthening the religious and social identity of the Hindu community. This study contributes to the understanding of adaptive religious communication management in the digital era.

Abstract

When the role of religion is confused by worldly elements, education cannot carry out its role properly. The aspirations of most humans are no longer to become human beings with noble character but to shift towards material orientations. Education was also affected and led to mercantilism. Many educational centers are then imaged as business centers rather than character building places. Religious devotion is a damper for the explosion of egoism in humans. In Hinduism religious service is called bhakti. This term is contained in many religious texts, including the Kidung Wargasari. The purpose of this research is to get an in-depth description of Religious Service Education (bhakti) in the Kidung Wargasari. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with content analysis in the text. The results of this study are that in the Kidung Wargasari there is self-devotion education (bhakti) such as devotion as educational worship, self-purification before praying, worship using offerings, belief in statues as manifestations of God, sincerity to serve God, apologies for all mistakes, worship with art, love for the environment, and religious unity

Abstract

This study aims to examine the symbolism and theological meaning contained in the structure of the Sudhi Wadani ceremony through a Hindu philosophical approach, particularly those derived from the Vedas, Upanishads, and tattwa teachings. The research method uses a qualitative approach with observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document studies with religious practitioners, traditional leaders, and relevant religious texts. The results of the study show that each stage of the Sudhi Wadani ceremony, from physical and spiritual cleansing, chanting mantras, offering banten, to the declaration of dharma, contains symbolism that represents the process of self-purification, transformation of consciousness, and reaffirmation of the relationship between Atman and Brahman. The theological meaning of Sudhi Wadani is oriented towards personal purification and the affirmation of life ethics through Tri Kaya Parisudha and the realization of the concept of moksha as the ultimate goal of humankind. Sudhi Wadani is not merely a ceremonial ritual, but a practice of Hindu philosophy of life that emphasizes the transformation of consciousness towards spiritual purity. The symbolism present in this ritual depicts the process of humankind's return to its true self (Atman), while its theological meaning emphasizes the cosmic connection between humans, nature, and Brahman. Thus, Sudhi Wadani has strong relevance as a spiritual practice that unites aspects of ritual, theology, and philosophy into a unified whole.

Abstract

This study examines the philosophy of sacredness in the Rejang Dewa dance as a medium for purifying space in the Balinese Hindu tradition. Rejang Dewa is a sacred dance performed in a series of Dewa Yadnya and is understood as a representation of the descent of divine vibrations into the ritual space. This study uses a qualitative approach with religious ethnography methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results show that every element in Rejang Dewa—movement, music, costume, formation, and the sanctity of the dancers—contains symbolism that reflects the concept of śuddhi or purification in Hindu teachings. This dance functions to harmonize the energy of space so that it is worthy of being a vehicle for the presence of niskala power. In addition, the study found that Rejang Dewa strengthens the values ​​of dharma, traditional solidarity, and Balinese Hindu cosmology. Thus, this dance not only serves as an expression of sacred aesthetics, but also as a theological medium that maintains cosmic balance in religious ceremonies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the philosophical significance of Atman in the Ngeroras Ceremony, one of the stages of Atman's perfection in Balinese Hindu tradition. The Ngeroras Ceremony is understood as a transformative rite that represents the tattwa teachings about the Atman's journey after death and the implementation of beliefs in the Five Principles, specifically Atman, Karmaphala, and Punarbhava. This research employed a qualitative approach with case study methods, participant observation, and in-depth interviews with the ceremony's organizers, priests, and family members. Data analysis was conducted through interpretive reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques to uncover the symbols, meanings, and philosophical values ​​contained within the ritual. The results indicate that the Ngeroras Ceremony functions as a spiritual purification process that leads the Atman to a higher level of consciousness. The symbolic meanings of the ritual, such as the use of fire, light, and offerings (banten), illustrate the Atman's transformation from avidya to vidya and the return of physical elements to the universe. In addition to its theological value, Ngeroras also has a social dimension, strengthening family solidarity and fulfilling pitra rna. This research confirms that Ngeroras is not merely a traditional obligation, but a theological and philosophical practice that reflects Balinese Hindus' deep understanding of the essence of Atman and the cycle of life. Thus, this ceremony serves as a crucial medium for maintaining the continuity of Hindu teachings, values, and spirituality amidst changing times.

Abstract

The teachings regarding tolerance and harmony have long been explained in various religious literary texts, one of which is the text of Dharmayatra Dhanghyang Nirartha. Amidst religious pressures that are prone to conflict, it is necessary to study local wisdom and the universal values of religious texts to build a moderate religious life. Until now, the understanding of this text has primarily focused on historical aspects and has not been thoroughly studied from the perspective of the values of religious moderation. The purpose of this research is to study the moderating value of religion in the sacred journey of Dhanghyang Nirartha as contained in the text of Dharmayatra Dhanghyang Nirartha. The method used in this research is a literary study with a philological perspective, utilizing a book written in Balinese script entitled Babad Brahmana Catur kalih Dharmayatra Dhanghyang Nirartha as the main data source. The research results indicate that there are three essential values of religious moderation in the text, namely the value of humanity, the value of deliberation, and the value of justice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformation of traditional guidance and counseling toward a modern approach based on Hindu philosophy in a traditional Islamic school (pasraman) in Mataram City. The approach used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that guidance and counseling practices in the pasraman are still dominated by traditional approaches that emphasize moral advice and spiritual guidance, but are not yet supported by modern, systematic, individual-needs-based counseling methods. This condition causes guidance services to be unable to fully address the complexity of students' psychological problems in the modern era. The research findings indicate a need for transformation toward a more dialogical, empathetic, and structured counseling model, without abandoning the values of Hindu philosophy as the main foundation. The integration of the concepts of dharma, karma, yoga, and Catur Purusartha with a modern counseling approach results in a holistic guidance model, namely combining psychological and spiritual aspects in one unit. This study provides a new contribution by confirming that Hindu philosophy can be operationalized applicatively in counseling practice, not only as an ethical norm. Thus, the transformation of guidance and counseling based on Hindu philosophy becomes a strategic solution in shaping students' character and psychological balance in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the crisis of modern economic ethics and examine the relevance of Hindu philosophy as an ethical foundation in the economic practices of the people of Lombok. The approach used is descriptive qualitative supported by quantitative data through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The results show that the economic practices of the people tend to be dominated by an orientation towards artha (material gain), while the value of dharma as the foundation of ethics has not been optimally internalized. Statistical analysis shows a significant negative relationship between the understanding of Hindu philosophy and the level of crisis of economic ethics, meaning that the higher the understanding of philosophical values, the lower the tendency of unethical economic practices. Qualitatively, it was found that economic activities are viewed more as pragmatic transactions than as a form of yajña or spiritual devotion. This finding indicates a gap between normative understanding and empirical practice in the economic life of the people. This study makes a new contribution by confirming that the crisis of economic ethics is rooted in the discontinuity between the ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions of Hindu philosophy. Therefore, a contextual reinterpretation of the values of dharma, artha, and yajña is needed to serve as a foundation for building an ethical, just, and sustainable economic system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze household life in Gṛhastha Āśrama from a Hindu philosophical perspective. Gṛhastha Āśrama as one of the stages in Catur Āśrama has a central role in supporting the sustainability of the social, spiritual, and religious life of Hindus. The main problem in this study is how the nature, values, and goals of household life within the framework of Hindu philosophy, and their relevance in the context of modern life. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method, through analysis of Hindu texts such as the Vedas, Upaniṣads, Manusmṛti, and Bhagavadgītā. The results of the study show that household life in Gṛhastha Āśrama is not only oriented towards fulfilling material needs (artha) and pleasure (kāma), but must also be based on dharma as a moral and spiritual principle that leads to the attainment of mokṣa. Furthermore, the household is seen as a form of yajña (sacred sacrifice) that emphasizes social responsibility, harmonious marital relations, and the character formation of future generations. In the modern context, the philosophical values ​​of Gṛhastha Āśrama remain relevant as an ethical and spiritual foundation for navigating the dynamics of family life. Thus, this study confirms that Gṛhastha Āśrama is a phase of life that is not only worldly but also serves as a means to achieve higher life goals in Hindu philosophy.

Abstract

Siwaratri Holy Night in Hindu tradition represents a sacred moment for self-reflection, self-control, and spiritual awareness through religious observances such as fasting, silence, and night vigil. However, digital technological advancement has introduced new behavioral patterns among youth, particularly online multiplayer gaming culture, which often distracts from spiritual practices. This community service program aims to enhance youth understanding of the philosophical meaning of Siwaratri while promoting responsible digital technology use without neglecting spiritual values. Methods included religious discussions (dharma tula), digital spiritual literacy education, reflective activities, and youth community mentoring. Results indicate increased spiritual awareness, reduced gadget usage during holy days, and stronger commitment to integrating technology positively with religious life. This initiative highlights the importance of integrating religious values and digital literacy to strengthen youth spirituality in the digital era.
