The existence of religious communities in multicultural societies involves ongoing challenges in maintaining identity, religious practices, and community sustainability, including the Hindu community in Banjarbaru. However, previous studies have predominantly examined spiritual leadership within formal organizational contexts, with limited attention to its role in community-based settings that are closely intertwined with local cultural values. This study aims to analyze the role of spiritual leadership in shaping the resilience of the Hindu community with diverse cultural backgrounds, including Balinese, Javanese, and Dayak traditions associated with Kaharingan. This research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with a key informant, namely I Ketut Ardika, a Hindu religious leader, a member of the Interfaith Harmony Forum (FKUB) of Banjarbaru City, and a Pinandita (temple priest), supported by observation and documentation. Data validity was strengthened through methodological triangulation and source triangulation, as well as member checking conducted in multiple stages. Data were analyzed through an interactive process consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that spiritual leadership plays a significant role in building community resilience through the internalization of religious values such as Tri Hita Karana, Satyam, Syiwam, and Sundaram, which strengthen harmonious relationships between humans, God, and others. Furthermore, the integration of Hindu teachings with local wisdom creates adaptive religious practices and reinforces collective community identity. Spiritual leadership also functions as a transformative force that enhances social cohesion and the community’s adaptive capacity. In conclusion, the resilience of the Hindu community in Banjarbaru is shaped by value-based spiritual leadership that holistically integrates spiritual, social, and cultural dimensions.
