Abstract

Indonesia is a vast country rich in religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, resulting in complex social dynamics prone to conflicts, including the prolonged religious conflict in Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi. This paper aims to analyze the root causes and reconciliation solutions of the religious conflict in Poso using the Iceberg Theory and U-Theory approaches. Qualitative methods and analysis of social media data through Social Network Analysis (SNA) and netnography are employed to understand behavioral patterns, social structures, and societal paradigms underlying intolerance and violence. Findings indicate that the Poso conflict is not merely an inter-religious confrontation but also influenced by socio-economic, political, cultural factors, state apparatus bias, and mental models fostering an "us versus them" polarization. The Iceberg Theory reveals the layered dimensions of the conflict, while U-Theory emphasizes collective consciousness transformation as the key to reconciliation. Field studies involving Sai Study Group Indonesia demonstrate that Vedic spiritual values can serve as healing energy and a foundation for peaceful, sustainable reconciliation. This paper recommends multi-dimensional interventions integrating structural changes and mental paradigm shifts to foster tolerance and harmony in Indonesia’s pluralistic society.

Abstract

This article explores how dharma becomes embodied through the ritual practices and everyday life of Hindu communities. Using a sociological lens, the study examines how rituals, gestures, spatial arrangements, and habitual actions function as embodied expressions of moral order, cultural identity, and social cohesion. Drawing on theories of embodiment (Merleau-Ponty), symbolic interactionism (Goffman), and interpretive anthropology (Geertz), the analysis reveals that dharma is not merely a philosophical doctrine but a lived social reality enacted through mindful practices, communal participation, and embodied discipline. Through ethnographic insights from Hindu ritual spaces in Bali and India, this study demonstrates how daily offerings, temple routines, bodily movement, and ritual choreography reinforce collective memory, negotiate cultural meaning, and maintain social harmony. The article contributes to sociological discussions on religion by showing how sacred values become material, sensory, and performative in contemporary Hindu life.

Abstract

This study explores the aesthetic of dharma as manifested in Balinese Hindu literary traditions, particularly in classical works such as Kakawin Arjunawiwaha and Geguritan Dharma Prawerti. Through a hermeneutic and qualitative textual analysis, this paper argues that Balinese literature functions not only as an artistic expression but also as a moral-spiritual pedagogy that shapes character and consciousness. The synthesis of beauty (sundaram), goodness (śivam), and truth (satyam) creates an aesthetic path toward ethical and spiritual realization. The findings show that Balinese Hindu literature embodies dharma through emotional depth (rasa), symbolic structure, and ethical narrative, enabling readers to internalize virtue through aesthetic experience.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly reshaped theological education worldwide. This study explores how Digital Theology emerges as both a field of inquiry and a pedagogical practice within virtual learning ecosystems. Through the integration of Learning Management Systems, interactive video platforms, online libraries, and AI-assisted tools, theological education expands beyond traditional classroom boundaries. This transformation not only enhances accessibility and flexibility but also redefines how students engage with sacred texts, spiritual formation, and critical theological reflection. Using qualitative analysis and case-based observations, this paper argues that virtual learning ecosystems foster collaborative, reflective, and contextually responsive theological learning. Ultimately, Digital Theology offers a new paradigm that harmonizes technological innovation with the spiritual and ethical foundations of theological education.

Abstract

This article explores the deep entanglement between Hindu ritual practices and the indigenous local wisdom that shapes their meaning, form, and function. Drawing on ethnographic insights, the study examines how ritual expressions—such as offerings, purification ceremonies, seasonal rites, ancestral worship, and spatial sanctification—are embedded within the cultural logic of local communities. Far from being static traditions, Hindu rituals evolve as living systems informed by communal values, ecological rhythms, and cosmological understandings. The findings highlight how indigenous knowledge systems guide ritual symbolism, material culture, sacred timing (kāla), and the relational dynamics between humans, nature, and the divine. This research contributes to broader discussions on ritual theory by demonstrating how local wisdom sustains cultural resilience, spiritual identity, and social harmony in Hindu communities across diverse regions.

Abstract

In Chandomanjarīkāra Gaṅgādāsa’s description of vṛtta and jāti metres, he has indicated the yati (pause point of the tongue) within the vṛtta metre not only through numbers such as tri (three), chatur (four), etc., but also by using words like vāṇa, gaja, and others. Although these words have their own dictionary meanings, in this context they also convey specific numerical values. For example, in the verse — māttau gau cec chālinī veda-lokaiḥ — which describes the characteristics of the śālinī metre, the yati occurs at the fourth and seventh syllables. Here, the word veda indicates the number four, and loka indicates the number seven, because there are four Vedas (Ṛk, Yajuṣ, Sāman, and Atharvan) and seven lokas (worlds such as bhū, bhuva, sva, etc.).

Abstract

Yoga, as an embodied spiritual discipline rooted in Hindu philosophical traditions, has undergone significant reinterpretation in the modern era. While contemporary global culture often frames yoga as a wellness practice, its deeper foundations remain intrinsically connected to dharma—ethical living, self-realization, and devotional consciousness. This study explores the role of yoga in shaping modern Hindu religious life by examining its theological meanings, ritual integrations, ethical implications, and emerging digital expressions. Through textual analysis of classical sources such as the Yoga Sūtra, Bhagavad Gītā, and Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, combined with observations of contemporary Hindu communities in urban and digital environments, this research highlights the continuity and transformation of yoga as both spiritual embodiment and cultural practice. The findings reveal that yoga continues to function as a vital medium of dharma: harmonizing mind, body, and spirit; reinforcing devotional practices; and enabling Hindus to navigate modern challenges, mental health concerns, and globalized identities. In modern Hindu religiosity, yoga emerges not merely as physical exercise, but as a lived theology—where spiritual insight is cultivated through disciplined embodiment and mindful action in everyday life.

Abstract

This article examines the sustainability of the Subak system as a model of Bali’s food security grounded in local wisdom and the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. Subak is not merely a traditional irrigation system, but a socio-religious institution that integrates ecological management, social organization, and spiritual values. This study employs a qualitative literature review method by analyzing ten national and international scholarly articles discussing Subak from ecological, socio-cultural, economic, and institutional perspectives. The findings indicate that Subak faces multidimensional challenges, including agricultural land conversion, weakening social cohesion, institutional limitations, and a crisis in farmer regeneration. Nevertheless, the literature also highlights significant opportunities for preservation through strengthening Tri Hita Karana values, reinforcing customary institutions, developing sustainable tourism, diversifying agribusiness, integrating digital technology, and enhancing policy support. Through an integrated and collaborative strategy, Subak can be preserved not only as cultural heritage but also empowered as an adaptive agrarian system capable of sustaining Bali’s food security in the era of globalization.

Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable and ethical leadership has challenged the dominance of Western-centric strategic management paradigms. While existing sustainability frameworks emphasize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, limited attention has been given to indigenous philosophical foundations that integrate spirituality and strategic decision-making. This study proposes a sustainable leadership framework derived from Tri Hita Karana (THK), a Hindu philosophical concept emphasizing harmony between human beings and God (Parahyangan), among humans (Pawongan), and between humans and nature (Palemahan). Using a qualitative conceptual approach supported by an integrative literature review, this paper develops a theoretical model that aligns THK principles with strategic management dimensions, including vision formulation, stakeholder management, organizational culture, and sustainable performance. The findings suggest that THK offers a holistic paradigm that integrates spiritual accountability, social responsibility, and ecological sustainability into strategic leadership practices. This study contributes theoretically by expanding the discourse on non-Western management philosophy and offers practical implications for organizations seeking culturally grounded sustainable strategies. The proposed framework provides a foundation for future empirical validation across diverse institutional contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to quantitatively analyze the influence of architectural ornamentation and spatial sanctity on the visual identity of cultural tourism destinations in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Indonesia. The research locus encompasses four pivotal heritage sites: Pura Lingsar, Pura Batu Bolong, Pura Suranadi, and Pura Gunung Pengsong. This research employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design. Primary data were collected from 200 respondents (tourists) using a structured questionnaire with a 7-point Likert scale. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using Multiple Linear Regression and Classical Assumption Tests via SPSS to test the hypotheses. The statistical results demonstrate that both architectural ornamentation and spatial sanctity have a positive and significant effect on the destination's visual identity, both partially and simultaneously (R2 > 0.6). The study empirically proves that strict adherence to sacred zoning rules (Tri Mandala) significantly enhances, rather than diminishes, the destination's visual appeal and branding. This study provides empirical evidence linking theological spatial concepts directly to destination marketing metrics in non-Balinese Hindu heritage sites, filling a gap in the quantitative literature on spiritual tourism.
