Abstract

Education in Indonesia is always in the public spotlight, usually during the period of cabinet changes. Particularly, the Minister of National Education, who is always concerned with new policies along with new curriculum, which has an effect on parents and students as well as the wider community. Indonesia's human development index in 2022 reached 72.91, an increase of 0.62 points (0.86 percent) compared to the previous year (72.29). In terms of determining the development index, education is one of the keys. In this article, qualitative research examines the Yajña Chakra Concept in Sujana Human Education efforts. The data in this research was obtained through observation, literature study, interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) related to the research theme and studied using content analysis. According to the Vedas, the philosophical background of education is to improve the quality of life of "manava" (humankind) and their lives to become "madhava", for instance human beings who have gentleness, compassion and high wisdom or wisdom. Whereas "manava" falls into "danava-danava", such as humans with giant characters, greed, envy and various other bad traits. Clearly, education is a continuous process in a 'linear' system, and has an important role in people's lives, which occurs in all social settings, not just at school. People gain insight, knowledge, and skills from others that they can use in their lives. Bali in particular, if Hindus truly realise the teachings of Yajña, especially Manusa Yajña, gaps in education should be addressed. Presently, Yajña is understood as a ritual ceremony and there seems to be a tendency to get bigger each day and seem increasingly difficult to carry out. Manusa Yajña should also make sacrifices for fellow humans, including advancing the world of education.

Abstract

The basic concept of ethics and morality expressed by humans actually originates from the teachings of religion (theology) that view humans as creations of the divine, originating from what is holy. However, the issue of corruption and various forms of ethical and moral violations within the nation pose a significant threat that can destroy the pillars of national integrity in Indonesia, and this must be acknowledged by all Indonesians in order to find solutions to resolve and overcome it. This article is the result of qualitative research that examines the establishment of the ethical and moral dimensions for the future of the Indonesian nation. The data in this research was obtained through a study of literature related to the research theme and analyzed using content analysis. One way to build and maintain the ethics and morality of the Indonesian nation is by developing multicultural education. This will instill nationalism, patriotism, respect for human rights, and democratization. It is crucial to implement this in Indonesia immediately to prevent religious, ethnic, racial, and intergroup conflicts. To prevent various potential conflicts and future terrorism, multicultural education can be implemented starting from the family environment, schools, and society. In this regard, education largely depends on the exemplary behavior of parents at home, teachers at school, religious leaders, and community leaders in their respective communities. This begins with revising the curriculum and teaching materials, ensuring the availability of adequate teaching materials, and enhancing the ability of teachers and lecturers to understand multicultural education.

Abstract

This research examines the influence of the Nāṭyaśāstra, a classic text of Indian literature that focuses on the performing arts, on Hindu religious arts in Indonesia. Through an in-depth analysis of the implementation of the Nāṭyaśāstra in Hindu religious arts, this study aims to understand how this classical text plays a role in shaping and maintaining the heritage of religious arts in the Indonesian context. It is found that the Nāṭyaśāstra not only serves as a guide for artists and performers, but also influences the structure, style, and content of various Hindu religious performances in Indonesia. The principles of Nāṭyaśāstra, such as rasa (taste), aesthetics (bhava), and performance techniques, emerged as key elements in the creation and performance of religious performing arts. This research also highlights the successful adaptation and integration of local cultural elements by Hindu communities in Indonesia in the application of Nāṭyaśāstra. The results confirm that the Nāṭyaśāstra is not only the foundation but also the source of inspiration for Hindu religious art in Indonesia. The integration of local culture is not a mere reproduction, but a creative response to the social and cultural environment. This phenomenon reflects the sustainability and ongoing life of Hindu religious art, affirming religious identity while creating a unique and authentic art form. As such, this research provides a deeper understanding of the role of Nāṭyaśāstra in nurturing and enriching Hindu religious art in Indonesia. The results can contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage, cross-cultural understanding, and enrich insights into the relationship between Indian classical texts and religious art expressions in local Indonesian contexts

Abstract

Intelligent beings, often referred to as atma or spirit, are described as "atma" in the Upanishads, or as Brahman. Brahman represents the principle of the universe. Seeking guidance, humans turn to the words of God found in the Puranas and Upanishads. The concept of the manu theory and human qualities in different eras is prevalent in Vedic literature. The Puranas and Upanishads contain a section dedicated to the theory of manu and human qualities for each era. The Puranas hold a significant and strategic position in the hierarchy of the Vedas and Hindu Literature. This research aims to analyze the Manu Theory and human qualities of each era as described in Purana and Upanishad literature using qualitative descriptive research methods. The findings of this research reveal that the concept of manu theory and human qualities, as depicted in Purana and Upanishad literature, reflects Hindus' pride and increasing belief in the teachings of Hinduism as a suitable guide for navigating life in this world and the natural environment.

Abstract

An in-depth study conducted in the context of globalisation and modern social dynamics focuses on religious discourse, radicalism and terrorism. The complex interactions between religious rhetoric, radical understandings, and the emergence of acts of terrorism are discussed in this article. This research explores how religious discussions can be a fertile ground for the emergence of radical ideologies, which eventually lead to acts of terrorism, by integrating theological, psychological, and social perspectives. The research aims to gain a better understanding of the components that influence the radicalisation process by identifying the ways in which religious discourse supports radicalism. The data in this study was obtained through observation and literature review, and analysed by content analysis. This study shows that understanding how religion, radicalism and terrorism interact is crucial to stopping and countering threats to world security because radical thinking often fuels terrorism, which uses violence as a means to achieve certain goals.

Abstract

Background: Trunyan Village is a traditional village on the shores of Lake Batur in Bali, Indonesia. The village has unique funeral traditions and religious beliefs. The "Death Penalty Society" is a specialised burial system where bodies are placed on the ground and surrounded by bamboo. The adore and fondness we appear to others can moreover bring meaning and bliss to our lives, indeed as we persevere melancholy and loss. It is critical to keep in mind that seeing God, adoration and passing are intensely impacted by one's culture, religion, traditions and individual views. Method: The method used is qualitative content analysis, interpreted using Goffman's Framing theory. This approach examines how structured narratives in documents and previous research about Trunyan Village influence perceptions of god, love, and death. Findings: In the context of Trunyan Village, the concepts of God, love and death can have unique meanings and are influenced by local traditions and beliefs..God and love from Trunyan village can be seen in their family relationships with the living and the dead, as they still believe in their ancestors..The love and death of the Terunyan people can be seen from their very unique funeral practices, where they say that the corpse or human body that has died will not emit odour and by doing mepasah is the only way for humans to get a good place in the afterlife. Why there is no ngaben tradition in Trunyan, only mapasah and mendem sawa, is because their culture and traditions have been passed down from generation to generation, and their understanding of the funeral process is better than the ngaben tradition. Conclusion: Back to the traditions and culture that influence why Trunyan village prefers to carry out mepasah and mendem sawa funerals. It can be concluded that the funeral tradition of mepasah or mendem sawa carried out in Trunyan village is a tradition carried out from generation to generation from their ancestors, which is a funeral activity that thinks about the concept of humanity where they have an understanding that if the human body has died it will not smell and with the taru menyan tree that grows in the setra or grave that protects the corpse from pungent odours and by covering the corpse with bamboo to protect it from wild animals. Novelty/Originality of this article: Through qualitative content analysis and Goffman's Framing theory, this study explores the meaning of God, love, and death in the context of local traditions. The proposed model includes a digital interactive platform and mobile application to preserve and disseminate knowledge about these cultural practices.
