Abstract

As a human being who lives in a world full of great secrets of the universe, surely the investigation of metaphysics is interesting. Metaphysical matters can generally be sought through sacred texts as well as academic reasoning. Therefore, metanarratives formed from metaphysical objects are a matter that dancing to be discussed. Moreover, a deep understanding of the nature of these metaphysical objects will help humans discover things that are still hidden in the universe. The events shown in the universe can certainly be accessed through various sources, one of which is scripture. In this context, Brahma Sūtra as one of the sacred texts of Hinduism has a metanarrative in which it contains explanations of metaphysical objects that are interesting to discuss. This discussion includes the concepts of Brahman, atman and spirit, mind, prāņa, and mokșa. Some metanarratives in this study will be elaborated scientifically through the study of Hindu Theology, of course, by including various text sources in the Brahma Sūtra. The method used is Qualitative with a Descriptive approach used to analyze the text of the Brahma Sūtra. From this study it can be seen that Brahman is the One True God who is the supreme entity of the entire universe. The Atma and spirit are the parts of Brahman that must seek to return to Brahman after death. The mind is the means of accessing the universe as well as the access of Brahman consciousness. Prāņa is the energy or vital force of living beings used as a means of accessing Brahman consciousness. Prāņa is the energy or vital force of living beings used as a means of accessing Brahman consciousness. The last is mokșa, the ultimate goal of living beings which is the highest consciousness/freedom.

Abstract

This research departs from the problem of how to achieve the existence of Atman as a Sat Guru in the Jnana Buda Shiva teachings taught at the Ashram Lembah Bhayam in Bababahan village, Penebel subdistrict, Tabanan district. Atman as Sat Guru is Atman as a life guide that emerges from within oneself through the deepest conscience as the most important goal of life based on Hinduism because Atman is the all-knowing within oneself. Achieving Atman's guidance is the path to achieving moksartam jagadhita ya ca iti darmah”, which is a universal path and has various variations, especially through the path of tapa bharata yoga samadhi. The formulation of the problem raised: (1) What is the existence of Atman as a Sat Guru in the Jnana Buda Shiva teachings taught at the Ashram Lembah Bhayam in Babahan Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency? (2) What are the Hindu theological aspects of the concept of Atman as the Sat Guru in the Jnana Buda Shiva teachings at the Ashram Lembah Bhayam in Babahan Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency? (3) What are the implications of the application of Atman as a Sat Guru in the Jnana Buda Shiva teachings for the Bhakti at the Ashram Lembah Bhayam in Babahan Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency? Hindu theology taught in the Jnana Buda Shiva teachings is mainly about the Tri Purusa teachings which consist of God as: Parama Shiva, Sasdha Shiva and Shivatman. The results of this research are that Bhakti as Sisya of Maha Guru Sri Jaya Nara in the initial stages are required: (1) Sisya candidates are required to train themselves and face for at least one year in order to establish themselves to become Bhakti of Ashram Lembah Bhayam. After that, you can receive Upanayana Samkara purification. And students who can receive Upanayana Samkara must also be 14 years or older. (2) You must worship and meditate at least once a day, develop love for fellow human beings, cultivate a sense of peace and sincerity in devotion. (3) Devoted to parents, guiding teachers and diligently cultivating knowledge in the soul. (4) Obediently implementing the teachings of Guru Padesa Maha Guru Sri Jaya Nara in order to become Para Bhakti of  Ashram Lembah Bhayam with its glory. (5) Ready to accept sadhana as a process of getting to know Atman as Sat Guru in his samadhi or in whatever conditions his Atman desires. (6) Ready to serve the Indonesian archipelago and the nation, fight and pray for the sake of world peace. This provision is always reminded to the Ashram Lembah Bhayam devotees so that the devotees are always aware and sincerely accept the soul of mukti as an implication of knowing Atman as the Sat Guru.

Abstract

The Warak Keuron ceremony is a ceremony that has only been implemented since the 1970s.  Before the 1970s, Hindus in Bali did not really question miscarriages.  Miscarriage is considered a normal phenomenon that does not need to be held a special ceremony, because it is considered non-fatiguing.  However, as time goes by, it turns out that many women after experiencing a miscarriage experience various problems, psychological disorders, trauma, even hallucinations and other difficulties.  According to sacred Hindu literature, miscarriage is an event that causes sadness/fatigue both in the person experiencing it and in their environment.  So to get rid of it, a ceremony called the Warak Karuron Ceremony needs to be held.  The aim is to eliminate pain/fatigue for the mother, so that she does not continue to experience psychological disorders which have very broad impacts.  And also to free the baby's spirit which is still trapped in its prakerti body, for this reason its prakerti elements consisting of the Panca Maha Bhuta elements are returned to their origin, the baby's spirit is purified so that it can continue its journey to the sunialoka realm.

Abstract

In order to achieve the final goal of this life, namely Moksa, there are various paths that can be taken. Several teaching sources contained in the Vedas, Itihasa, Puranas and Hindu literature are tools to be guided by in order to find the path to kalepasan. One of the sources from Hindu literature that is used as research regarding kalepasan in this case is the Bubhuksah Gagakaking Text. Meanwhile, the methods used are identification of the type of research, intertext observation, documentary, online data search, instruments followed by data analysis techniques and presentation of data analysis results. The text structure consists of Synopsis, Characters, Incidents, Plot, Setting, Theme and Message. Meanwhile, the teachings contained in Bubhuksah Gagakaking's text are Harmony, Moral Teachings, Shiva Buddha Teachings, Peditativity Teachings. The concept of kalepasan that can be explained consists of the Shiva Abhrawi Concept implemented by Gagakaking, namely a path to kalepasan through self-discipline, meditation by becoming a Pandita who always adheres to the provisions of the Veda, is faithful to the promise to avoid various taboos, is always compassionate, and does not commit murder. and abstain from eating meat. Meanwhile, Bubhuksah's concept of kalepasan Buddha Bhrawi is to always be self-disciplined by becoming an ascetic as a Buddhist priest, worshiping diligently facing west, eating everything he likes, killing game animals and eating them without any leftovers, as the basis for liberation of these animals. Kalepasan can be done perfectly through Tyaga Pati, namely self-discipline to follow the path of truth towards God with full sincerity without blaming others. Towards the One God who is supernatural or Acintya as the source of all that exists can be reached with concentration of mind, not through japa, meditation or science.

Abstract

The symbols in Hinduism are closely related and inseparable from the doctrine of the Divine (Hindu theology), because the symbols are expressions for bringing people closer to Him. They are arches or prefaces for the gods, the wheel of gods or the vehicle of the Gods, sacred buildings for the worshippers to worship Him. However, before we talk further, there is an idea that a city that was once a symbol of the kingdom now becomes the center of the district/city of the concept this is called Catus patha. Generally speaking, Catus Patha is the face of chess in which almost the entire Hindu community of Bali strongly believes that who sits on Catus pathha is Sanghyang Catur Bhuana, However, the catus patha that stands in the City of Bangli is a statue using the symbol Tri Murti. This research belongs to qualitative research with descriptive analysis with an experimental approach so that the researcher is the key instrument. Data collection techniques are triangulated, data analysis is inductive and the results of qualitative research emphasize meaning rather than generalization. The primary data source is from the results of field observations and in-depth interviews with the Sulinggih and Pinandita who are considered to know the research in this research. The informants are determined purposively sampling, that is to say, against those who really are in it. From the results of the analysis obtained Catus Patha the great in Bangli City is still an icon of government where there are still elements such as Puri (Istana), Wantilan (public open space), alun-alun (green open area), and Peken (market) despite some changes in the present day. As the center of the ceremony of the Yadnya, such as the tawur agung, ngerebeg, the naggluk merana, the ngulapin and other ceremonies, and in the sphere of society there is little controversy, among which are symbols less relevant to the other Catus Patha Agung. The statue of the Catus Patha Agung in the district of Bangli that the symbol is displayed in the symbol of the triumvirate, while according to some scribes and generally the Catus Patha Agung sthana Shang Hyang Chatur Bhuana is identified with the face or four-faced chess.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the phenomenon of commodification of the Ngaben ceremony in Legian Village, Kuta, Badung, Bali. Ngaben, which is an important ritual in Hinduism in Bali, is experiencing significant changes along with increasing tourism and commercialization in the region. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to gain an in-depth understanding of the process and impact of the commodification of the Ngaben ceremony. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, participant observation and documentation. Key informants include traditional leaders, ceremony holders, and business actors involved in the commodification process. The research results show that the commodification of the Ngaben ceremony not only has an impact on economic aspects, but also brings changes to the cultural and social values of the local community. The once sacred Ngaben ceremony is now often adapted to attract tourists, leading to a shift in the meaning and purpose of the ceremony. These findings indicate that although commodification provides economic benefits for society, there are concerns regarding the preservation of the traditional and spiritual values of the Ngaben ceremony. This research recommends the need for a balanced policy between tourism development and cultural preservation so that the essence of the Ngaben ceremony is maintained.

The changes that occur refer to all aspects, including the implementation of the ngaben ceremony in Bali. Many phenomena that we find in the community, i.e. many people who carry out the funeral ceremony at the cremation place.

Abstract

Before the teachings of Hinduism came, Monotheism and Monism had already developed in Indonesia, among the native population, a belief system called Animism and Dynamism. This belief is still implemented and believed to this day. We can see the belief in animism and dynamism in the Dayak Deah ethnic group who still practice healing methods of illness in the form of ceremonies (rituals), namely Beliatn. The Beliatn ceremony is included in the Human Yadnya ceremony. The Beliatn ceremony is only carried out by the Dayak tribe who adhere to the Hindu religion. The implementation of the Beliatn ceremony by the Dayak Deah tribe is only understood as a belief passed down from generation to generation in the form of entrenched traditions, without understanding the religious meaning including ethical values. Because scientific research into the Beliatn ceremony has not been carried out to an essential extent. Based on this, to find out, the implementation of the Beliatn ceremony in terms of facilities, place and time, the ceremony leader, the series of implementation, what ethical education is during the implementation of the Belitan ceremony, what is the perception of the ethical education aspects in the ceremony. This research uses qualitative methods, processing data by compiling it systematically, emphasizing analysis on descriptive data in the form of observed written words. The analysis of this data is more focused on library research, namely by reading, studying and examining books and written sources that are closely related to the problem being discussed. Related to the educational value of Baliatn Ceremony ethics in Hinduism. with research subjects carried out in Mangcupuk Village, Muara Uya District, Tabalong Regency. Through the results of this scientific research, conclusions can be drawn as to the main problem. The Beliatn ceremony uses facilities in the form of food containers, ceremonial equipment and musical instruments, and is led by a Mulukng assisted by a Penggadikng in charge of arranging the upakara/offering facilities during the ceremony. The series of Beliatn ceremonies consist of; Ngontah ceremony (initial ceremony), Besurah (deliberation), Netungkal ceremony (cleaning), Metanja ceremony (sacred dance), and Ngator ceremony (final ceremony). Rituals in the form of Belian ceremonies are not only for curing illnesses, but also as a medium for instilling educational values ​​of Ceremonial, Religious and Social Ethics which they call the Wolupm custom.
