Balinese Language Contribution to The Spread of Hindu Educational Values

I Putu Suweka Oka Sugiharta — 2025-09-30

The educational process becomes more effective if it is disseminated in local ways so that it is easier to understand. In a community, the best way to carry out the educational process is to utilize a cultural approach. This also applies to religion-based education. The values of religious education must be disseminated by functioning local cultural elements. The most prominent thing about the use of the Balinese language to socialize Hindu teachings in Bali is its success in building a sense of familiarity. From time to time, the Balinese have accepted Hinduism as an integral part of their lives. This sense of closeness is an important point in the educational process. A sense of closeness will ensure the application of educational values. Various forms of oral and written works that appear later can integrate with the educational values of Hinduism. This study aims to describe the role of the Balinese language in the socialization of Hindu religious and educational values. It is clear that the mission alignment between Balinese and Hinduism is complementary and does not interfere with each other. This research method is qualitative, with a descriptive research concentration.

Urip Samadya Local Wisdom as A Strategy in Facing the Rise of The Hedonism Lifestyle and Global Development

Nur Fateah — 2025-09-30

The emergence of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and international free trade has increased the flow of goods and services between countries. Indonesia has become a potential market for foreign products due to the domestic industry's inability to fully meet consumer demands. This situation is exacerbated by the rise of consumerism and hedonistic lifestyles among certain segments of society, which has weakened public appreciation for local products. This study aims to reexamine the relevance of the Javanese life philosophy urip samadya as a solution to the excessive consumption trend. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with an ethnophilosophical approach. Data were collected through literature studies on Javanese philosophy and current consumption behavior. The results indicate that urip samadya, which emphasizes living in moderation and balance, offers a moral foundation for resisting excessive consumption. Living moderately encourages individuals to think rationally and maturely in distinguishing needs from mere desires. Furthermore, the teaching fosters introspective awareness regarding personal consumption patterns. The application of urip samadya not only strengthens individual character but also has the potential to revive appreciation for domestic products. This study concludes that revitalizing local wisdom such as urip samadya is highly relevant as a cultural strategy to foster conscious, ethical, and sustainable consumption in the face of globalization and the massive influx of imported goods.

Sacred and Rational Negotiations

Ida Bagus Gede Paramita — 2025-09-30

This study examines the contestation between Ulu Desa (sacred-traditional authority) and Prajuru Desa (administrative authority) in the Bali Aga villages of Pedawa and Julah, which reflects the ongoing tension between customary governance and state regulation. The research aims to analyze how historical trajectories, regulatory frameworks, and socio-economic transformations have shaped the dynamics between sacred and bureaucratic leadership. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and interpreted with Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, capital, and field as well as Foucault’s theories on power and discourse. The findings reveal that, (1) historical practices of surveillance embedded dual forms of discipline ritual and administrative within village governance, (2) the penetration of state mechanisms, particularly through village competitions and regional regulations, gradually displaced sacred legitimacy in favor of bureaucratic authority and (3) socio-economic factors such as migration, education, technology, and financial support further reinforced the dominance of Prajuru Desa. Nevertheless, Ulu Desa continues to hold symbolic significance as a guardian of cosmological order. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the contestation between these two institutions illustrates a hybridization of power in Bali Aga society, where tradition and modernity coexist through tension, negotiation, and adaptation.
