Abstract

Water is one of the means of offering. In Bali, until now, the worship of water is still very strong among the people. This is proven by the fact that there are still many holy places such as Tirta Empul, Mengening, and many other temples in Bali that have springs that are sacred to Hindus. However, not just any water can be used as an offering. To differentiate between ordinary water and holy water, several conditions are required, such as: place and purity. Ordinary water is water that is obtained from clean water places but is specifically used for prayer, such as the jun taneg water (ground water in temples/holy places) or specifically made in the temple area (utama mandala). This water is called toya anyar. Meanwhile, holy water, called ndenagn tirta, is water that has gone through a purification process either based on upacara/upakara or through a mantra process, meaning that the water has been asked before Ida Sanghyang Widhi Wasa so that it becomes tirta (holy water). One of the holy waters in Pakarman Bayad Village named Tirta Selukat. This holy water is located on a cliff surrounded by rice fields which is very sacred to the residents of Pakrman Bayad Village, as a means of purification during the Panca Yadnya ceremony

Abstract

This paper discusses the theological dimensions of the Ngaben death ritual in Bali, focusing on the relationship between Hindu concepts of divinity as outlined in Tattwa texts and the implementation of death rituals. In Hindu theology, the understanding of Brahman, both in its Nirguna (without attributes) and Saguna (with attributes) forms, plays a significant role in shaping the spiritual goals of Balinese Hindus related to eschatology and the attainment of moksha. This research uses a qualitative method with a theological approach. Through an analysis of texts such as Yama Purana Tattwa and Wrhaspati Tattwa, this article examines the meaning and purpose of Ngaben as a ritual for purifying the soul and releasing material elements. This research finds that, although there is a hope for the unification of the soul with God (moksha), the practice of Ngaben is more focused on Bhakti and Karma Marga, which emphasize the existential duality between atman (individual soul) and Brahman, in accordance with the Dvaita Vedanta approach. This indicates a difference between the theological concept of union with God in moksha and its implementation in death rituals in Bali about the importance of the results or conclusions brief.

Abstract

Banten ready to serve as an option in the procurement of banten in the community in Denpasar City provides convenience by substituting the pattern from personal to market. This means that the procurement of necessities can be done by buying without having to make it directly. The emergence of Banten ready to serve or known as McDonaldization has had an extraordinary effect in society, not only becoming a business opportunity, but also growing the economy in the community with the emergence of various Banten agent industries. However, behind that, this pattern that has become an option and is increasingly enjoyed has led to the degradation of society, especially women. From the observation and analysis of the scene carried out, the emergence of Banten ready to serve is caused by women not being able to make banten, making banten need talent and skills, and buying banten because of the disease of ngekoh.

Abstract

The establishment of the Old Testament Canon in the Catholic Church is a long and complex process that aims to determine which books are legitimately recognized as part of the Bible. The establishment of the Canon of Old Testament Scripture in the Catholic Church is so complex that there are various types of implementation of the canon of Old Testament Scripture and commentaries of biblical scholars, as well as the explanation of Old Testament Scripture to other religious communities. The division of the canon of Old Testament Scripture that is used today has criteria, it did not just appear out of nowhere and this must be considered carefully. Then there is the difference between the Jewish, Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant canons, as well as the division of the Old Testament Scriptures from the Pentateuch, the Historical Books, the Wisdom Books and the Apocryphal books. It is evident that the official listing of a work takes into account its author, content, and usefulness. In the context of the Old Testament Scriptures, canon means the official list of books recognized by the Catholic/Protestant/Orthodox Church/ or the Jewish religion after a long process of selection and determination. The existence of this official list of books means that it is no longer possible to reduce or add to it (cf. Deut. 4:2).

Abstract

Sekar madya is sung in groups of more than two people simultaneously without the process of translating the contents of the song text. The introduction of sekar madya still uses media in the form of books so that people cannot have it instantly and the interest generated does not last consistently, therefore an interactive introduction media is needed that can be utilized by the people in Bali. The design of the Sekar Madya Voice Art Introduction application is in accordance with the research method used, namely the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method. This method consists of six stages, namely concept (concept creation), design (design/draft), material collecting (material collection), assembly (compilation/creation), testing (testing) and distribution (dissemination). First, a mobile-based sekar madya introduction application has been produced using the MDLC method to preserve the tradition of reading Hindu literature and Balinese culture. Second, this application is used as a medium for introducing sekar madya but can also be used to document cultural heritage in digital form. Third, this multimedia application has been successfully built using Adobe Flash Professional Cc with the Action Script 3.0 programming language as the creation of programs and animations, while for the design using Corel Draw X7, then for video and audio editing using Adobe Premiere. And fourth, Based on system testing using the black box testing method, the results of the test show that the functionality of the system created is in accordance with the needs analysis and system design.

Abstract

The phenomenon of sexual deviation is rampant as a form of refinement of the occurrence of various immoral cases in the world. In fact, the phenomenon of sexual deviation often occurs in environments or institutions that are labeled as religious. This happens because of the cult of taboo terms in sexuality which until now has been understood by humanity collectively. This indicates that there has been a polarization of thought that has occurred since ancient times, which distinguishes the corridors of spirituality and sexuality in a thick barrier. In this case, sexuality becomes something that is destructive and has negative connotations. Likewise with Tantra, which is always given negative connotations because its teachings contain sexual concepts as a form of ritual. To obtain valid and comprehensive data, this paper uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, meaning that this research is carried out by analyzing and describing various data obtained through the collection of data that has been collected, then synthesizing the data, namely through the process of sorting and selecting various relevant data so as to be able to produce an accurate research synthesis. In its development, Tantra is viewed in two conflicting paradigms, so it needs to be studied in the dialectic of thought, because Tantra is a teaching that has gone global, and the term Tantra has become familiar in human development socially. In this paper, a holistic understanding of Tantra is presented as a medium for constructing transcendental consciousness through erotic rituals. In the view of Tantra, sexuality is one of the efforts to achieve freedom because the teachings of Tantra are not only defined as limited to sexual or biological activities, but there are divine values ​​in them. As a factual form, Tantra spirituality is the compounding of the elements of kama petak and kama bang into Kama Dewa (Ongkara), which in the semiotic view is understood as a state of God that is full of tranquility and without attachment to the elements of awidya.

Abstract

This article discusses the teachings of pandits contained in the lontar text Wasista Tattwa, a religious literary work that plays an important role in the religious and spiritual treasures of Hinduism in Bali. This study aims to explore and understand the values ​​of pandit contained in the text, as well as its relevance in the context of contemporary spiritual life. Using a qualitative approach through literature study and content analysis of the lontar text, this study found that Wasista Tattwa contains teachings on asceticism, self-control, physical and spiritual self-cleansing, and the virtues of life as a true pandit who sincerely serves the Dharma. This text emphasizes the importance of spiritual knowledge, ethics, and self-discipline as a foundation for someone who takes the path of pandit. The results of this study enrich the understanding of the heritage of Balinese religious literature and show that the teachings in Wasista Tattwa are still very relevant as ethical and spiritual guidelines for Hindus, especially prospective pandits.

Abstract

Bhuta Yajna is part of the five Yajna ceremonies commonly performed in Bali. Through Bhuta Yajna, humans maintain the balance of nature, which is an implementation of the Tri Hita Karana teaching. One of the texts that discusses Bhuta Yajna is the Aji Swamandala text. The study of Bhuta Yajna in this text is a form of qualitative research that employs hermeneutic theory to analyze it, using the Aji Swamandala text as the primary source, which has been translated and transcribed.The form of Bhuta Yajna in the Aji Swamandala text includes Caru, specifically Caruning Sasih, which serves to harmonize time, and Tawur Kesanga, known as Caruning Palemahan, which functions to harmonize nature and maintain environmental peace.The theological meaning behind the practice of Bhuta Yajna is related to Totemism Theology, which originates from animism—the belief that spirits inhabit the entire world. In this theological perspective, animals and plants are considered suitable substitutes for human sacrifices in the effort to create a harmonious world.
