Relevansi Tata Susila dan Pendidikan Karakter dalam Teks Yakṣa Praśna
type: item
description: Character education is widely developed through universal and secular approaches, but noble values can also be drawn from local and religious sources, including teachings from sacred Hindu texts such as the Yakṣa Praśna. Scientific studies linking ethics in Hinduism with national character education are still limited. Therefore, it is important to conduct research that delves into the relevance of moral teachings in Yakṣa Praśna as a source of character education values. The purpose of this research is to understand and describe the values of Hindu ethics relevant to character education, sourced from the Yakṣa Praśna text. This research applies the library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach, referring to the primary data source, namely the Yakṣa Praśna text. The data analysis techniques used in this study are: (1) analyzing the Yakṣa Praśna text, (2) linking moral values with character education, and (3) interpreting the relevance of Hindu moral values in the Yakṣa Praśna to the formation of student character in the modern era. (4) Presenting the findings in a systematic thematic description. The research findings indicate that the Yakṣa Praśna text contains values of religiosity, responsibility, peacefulness, and discipline that align with the principles of character education. These values can serve as a guide for students in forming an ethical and noble personality.

Rekonversi Umat Kristen ke Agama Hindu Kaharingan di Kabupaten Pulang Pisau, Kalimantan Tengah
type: item
description: The shift in the belief system from Christianity to Hinduism actually created a form of consciousness, from individuals who believed in the new faith, then returned to the original teachings. This aspect can be read as a turning point for the occurrence of reconversion in Pulau Pisau Regency. The purpose of this research is to discover the conceptual schema and empirical findings regarding liturgical practices that were initially distracted by the emergence of a new belief (Christianity), then redefined and reconverted to the original teachings (Hindu Kaharingan). This research uses a qualitative method, within a case study approach. The case study (research on the Hindu Kaharingan social-religious community) attempts to investigate a specific case in a specific location. Empirical findings on conversion can be distinguished into 3 factors. First, the main factor leading to a return to the original teachings is self-stimulation or being stimulated by one's own personal will. This can be seen from the imperfect understanding of the new religious system (Christianity), compared to the original religion (Hindu Kaharingan). The second cause is that religious reconversion is caused by amalgamation (mixed marriages). The process of religious reconversion, in its aspect of amalgamation, involves inner changes that occur in Christian communities transitioning to Hindu Kaharingan in Pulang Pisau Regency. Marriage plays an important role in the reconversion process in this area because it involves both endogenous and exogenous origins. The third background is that the reconversion process can be traced back to the legitimacy of the Hindu Kaharingan religion, which is called pandudusan. The ceremony for the return of the righteous person uses 1 coconut, 1 egg, 1 lilis lamiang flower, undus/oil, a bowl of water, tampung tawar, a bowl from the pond, and a knife. In conclusion, religious reconversion involves the accumulation of religious-based authority and the sociological fact…

Analisis Ajaran Tattwa Dalam Kakawin Nirartha Prakṛta
type: item
description: This study examines the tattwa structure in the Kakawin Nirartha Prakṛta through a philosophical hermeneutic approach to reveal its theological, metaphysical, and practical significance within Hindu thought. Hermeneutic readings of this kakawin remain limited, leaving its doctrinal depth insufficiently explored. This research aims to identify the conceptual structure of tattwa, interpret its key metaphysical formulations, and assess their relevance for contemporary Hindu spiritual praxis. The study employs Gadamerian hermeneutics through structured procedures: establishing the authoritative text, selecting and interpreting essential verses, engaging the horizons of text, tradition, and interpreter, and formulating renewed understanding through the fusion of horizons. Data sources include the Poerbatjaraka edition of the kakawin, interviews with sulinggih representing the living tradition, and secondary literature on tattwa philosophy and Hindu theology. Findings show that the kakawin articulates a coherent tattwa system consisting of four interconnected dimensions: an ontological framework based on the duality of Puruṣa–Prakṛti; an epistemological model rooted in triloka and the hierarchy of subtle and gross elements; an ethical orientation emphasizing sensory discipline and the regulation of rāga; and a soteriological vision that conceptualizes liberation as self-recognition of one’s essential nature. The study concludes that the tattwa teachings of the kakawin remain highly relevant for Hindu spiritual practice, particularly in strengthening inner discipline, cosmological awareness, and reflective ritual engagement. The research contributes to the development of Nusantara tattwa studies and affirms the methodological significance of hermeneutics for interpreting classical Hindu texts.

Analisis Nilai Etis dan Kesadaran Spiritual dalam Ritual Mendem Panca Dhatu di Desa Adat Delod Tukad
type: item
description: The mendem panca dhatu ritual is a sacred practice of Balinese Hindus performed in the context of constructing and purifying holy sites. This ritual affirms the Balinese cosmological worldview that emphasizes harmony between humans, nature, and the divine through reverence for natural elements as instruments of spiritual purification and symbols of cosmic interconnectedness. However, amid modernization and the shifting values of religiosity, the meaning of this ritual tends to be simplified, potentially neglecting the profound ethical and spiritual dimensions embedded within it. This condition calls for an in-depth study to reveal the substantive meaning of the ritual as an expression of religious consciousness and as a value system that sustains the social, moral, and ecological life of Balinese society sustainably. This study aims to examine the ethical and spiritual values within the mendem panca dhatu ritual in Desa Adat Delod Tukad by employing the concepts of shuddha-bhava (inner purity) and cinmaya-bhava (spiritual awareness) as its main analytical framework. The research applies a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Informants were selected purposively, involving traditional leaders, priests, and community ritual practitioners. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review of lontar manuscripts, religious texts, and previous studies. Data validation was conducted through source triangulation, methodological triangulation, and member checking to ensure the credibility of the findings. The results indicate that the ethical values of the ritual function as moral guidance and social legitimacy that strengthen communal solidarity. Spiritually, the ritual emphasizes human connectedness with the transcendent through disciplined purity, self-control, and collective awareness in maintaining sacred spaces. The synergy of ethics, spirituality, and cultural identity in this ritual underscores its relevanc…

Aktualisasi Ketubuhan Perempuan dan Representasi Estetika Hindu Dalam Tari Rejang Pedawa
type: item
description: The Rejang Pedawa dance is performed by young women who have reached adolescence but have not yet experienced their first menstrual cycle. This dance movement represents a sense of boundary (the concept of limits or barriers), the dimensions of the female body, Hindu esthetics, body-based worship schemes, and the esthetic aspects of liturgical behavior. The purpose of this research is to analyze philosophically and esthetically the medium of worship that is actualized thru the female body. This research applies a qualitative method within a case study framework. Data was collected thru interviews, observations, and literature reviews. The female body, used as a medium for dance movements and the ideology of worshiping a transcendent entity, represents the actualization of natural or supernatural elements. The body movements of the Rejang Pedawa dance create women's ability to channel cosmic energy, incorporate the world, and reflect the interdependence between humans and God (Dewa Indra). The Hindu esthetics in this dance are perceived as a manifestation of artistic experiences that have been internalized into both the personal and communal aspects of the local community, the people of Pedawa Village. The actualization of the village’s characteristic rejang dance demonstrates a way of seeing, thinking, and total surrender to the Almighty entity. The movements of each dancer are used as a bridge between the human world and the divine world, a process of total surrender within an integral scope, becoming a visualization of a sacred arena realized thru the beauty of movement.

Sakralitas Digital Hindu Bali Translokasi Ruang Suci ke Media Sosial
type: item
description: Digital transformation has blurred the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, positioning social media not merely as a means of communication but also as a new arena for religious expression. In the context of Balinese Hinduism, the translocation of sacred spaces onto digital timelines raises questions about how sacredness is produced, perceived, and renegotiated within the digital ecology. This study aims to examine the phenomenon of uploaded sacredness by emphasizing the dynamics of visual representation, authority, and online community validation. This research employs a qualitative approach through digital ethnography and visual anthropology. Data were collected through online observation, documentation of 120 posts on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube (2022–2024), as well as semi-structured interviews with 20 key informants, including priests, content creators, and Hindu practitioners. Data analysis was conducted inductively through visual coding, digital discourse analysis, and ethnographic interpretation. The study reveals four main findings. First, sacred spaces are aesthetically represented through photos, videos, and poetic captions that extend religious experiences into the virtual sphere. Second, the emergence of hybrid rituals marks the convergence of offline ritual practices and online content production. Third, religious authority shifts into the digital realm, producing dynamics of post-traditional religiosity in which young priests and content creators become authoritative figures. Fourth, community validation through likes, comments, and reshares constitutes the legitimacy of digital sacredness, although often accompanied by tensions between sanctity and commodification. The study demonstrates that sacredness does not disappear in its translocation to social media but is re-mediated through visual aesthetics, community participation, and platform logics. This research contributes to the study of religion, visual culture, and digital …

Tradisi Membuatan Sandung Pada Umat Hindu Kaharingan Dayak Ngaju
type: item
description: Sandung is a distinctive structure in the Hindu Kaharingan tradition of the Dayak Ngaju community, serving as a repository for the bones of deceased family members following the tiwah ceremony. This tradition continues to exist today and reflects both cultural identity and religious belief. The purpose of this study is to describe the meaning, functions, and values embodied in the construction of sandung, while also examining how the tradition is maintained amidst social change. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method using both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with six key informants and discussions with community members knowledgeable about the tradition, while secondary data were collected from documentation and related studies. Data collection involved observation, interviews, and documentation with customary leaders, community figures, and Hindu Kaharingan practitioners. The findings indicate that the construction of sandung requires specific skills, adherence to customary norms, and deep spiritual understanding. Beyond its role as a bone repository, sandung embodies profound social and religious meanings: it represents filial responsibility toward deceased parents, gratitude and respect for ancestors, and a medium for maintaining harmony between the living and the dead. The study concludes that the sandung tradition plays a vital role in strengthening the cultural identity of the Dayak Ngaju community, preserving the spiritual values of Hindu Kaharingan, and is believed to bring prosperity to surviving family members. Therefore, the continuity of this tradition requires collective support from society and younger generations to ensure its preservation.

Strategi Implementasi Pendidikan Budi Pekerti Hindu Berbasis Kearifan Lokal di Desa Adat Kerobokan, Buleleng
type: item
description: Global cultural disruption and hedonistic lifestyles are triggering the moral degradation of the younger generation, necessitating a revitalization of the role of traditional institutions as bastions of values. This study aims to describe the community-based Hindu character education strategy in the Kerobokan Traditional Village, Buleleng, and analyze the process of internalizing these values ​​in the digital era. Applying qualitative methods with a descriptive-analytical approach, data collection was conducted through participatory observation of pasraman (traditional market) activities and ceremonies, in-depth interviews with village leaders (prajuru) and youth, and a documentary study of customary law (awig-awig). The results indicate that the implementation of character education takes place within an adaptive sociocultural ecosystem: the community functions as a More Knowledgeable Other, providing scaffolding through the Ngayah tradition; the implementation of anti-drug regulations (Pararem) as a critical cultural action to break the culture of silence, and the use of the Nyekar ritual as a participatory medium that instills egalitarian values. It concludes that the traditional village has successfully transformed from merely a guardian of tradition into an effective non-formal educational institution that balances physical rituals and communication technology. This study provides a scientific contribution in the form of a local wisdom-based pedagogical model that integrates the perspectives of social psychology, critical pedagogy, and media theory to strengthen national cultural identity.

Studi Simbolisme Nama Dalam Agama Dan Identitas Budaya Pada Masyarakat Bali Dan Lombok Barat
type: item
description: A name is not merely a personal label; it represents a complex symbol encompassing social identity, power relations, spiritual significance, and cultural unification. This article explores the role of names in Hindu communities in Bali and West Lombok through four key lenses: as markers of individual and social identity, as instruments for sustaining traditional hierarchies, as symbols of religious meaning and spiritual protection, and as representations of identity in the digital age. Utilizing a symbolic-cultural and interdisciplinary approach, the study demonstrates how names serve both cognitive and performative functions-shaping identity, reinforcing authority, and mediating between the seen (sekala) and unseen (niskala) dimensions of life. In the last decade, digital transformation has introduced new layers of meaning, as names increasingly operate as online identities through social media, localized scripts in domain names, and digital administrative platforms. Despite these changes, symbolic and spiritual meanings remain robust, supported by processes of cultural adaptation and innovation. The article concludes that the cultural significance of names in Bali and West Lombok reflects an ongoing negotiation between tradition and modernity, emphasizing the importance of symbolic interpretation and culturally grounded digital practices for heritage preservation.

Relasi Agama dan Media Digital Transformasi Otoritas Keagamaan di Era Komunikasi Virtual
type: item
description: The transformation of religious authority has become a central issue in the era of digital communication, as religious discourse increasingly shifts from institutional spaces to virtual platforms. This study examines how digital media reshapes religious authority through virtual communication practices on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the research utilizes digital ethnographic observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of online preaching content and community interactions. The findings reveal that digital media produces new configurations of religious authority that are no longer grounded solely in institutional legitimacy, but also in communicative competence, audience intimacy, and strategic engagement with social media algorithms. While digital platforms expand access to religious knowledge and encourage participatory engagement among believers, they simultaneously generate challenges related to authority fragmentation, authenticity, and the circulation of unverified religious narratives. The study theoretically implies a shift from a hierarchical model of religious authority toward a networked and relational form, in which legitimacy is continuously negotiated within digital spaces rather than formally ascribed.

Beyond the Negotiation between Tradition and Innovation in the Continuity of Art
type: item
description: Studies of Balinese art have often approached artistic continuity through a dichotomy between tradition and innovation an approach that often neglects the existential dimension of artistic creation. In studies of Wayang Tantri in particular, this framework has likewise been used to interpret creativity as the outcome of negotiation between tradition and innovation. However, the principle of kawi dalang fundamentally unsettles this view, as it presupposes difference and novelty as inherent conditions of the dalang’s (puppeteer) creative practice. This article proposes an alternative perspective that moves beyond such dichotomous assumptions by approaching Wayang Tantri as a mode of artistic existence in which meaning emerges from the dalang’s embodied experience rather than from a static opposition between traditional forms and creative novelty that marginalizes the subject. The study adopts a qualitative philosophical methodology, drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology to examine creativity in Wayang Tantri. The findings show that, when situated within an existential dimension, creativity entails an understanding of art and the body as inseparable. Artistic expression unfolds through the historical situatedness of the dalang’s body within a continuously enacted relationship with the world, which constitutes the field in which artistic meaning is disclosed. These findings challenge the dichotomous tradition innovation framework, including the notion of “negotiation,” which implicitly reifies art as a mere object of observation. Accordingly, Wayang Tantri is understood as a living, dynamic, and relational artistic phenomenon, in which existential experience provides an epistemological foundation for understanding Balinese art and serves as a source of truth in artistic practice.

Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Ajaran Lokal Kaharingan Dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Hindu
type: item
description: The implementation of Hindu religious education is guided by the curriculum established by the national government. However, there are variations, particularly in Central Kalimantan Province, as Hindu religious teachers integrate Hindu religious material with local Kaharingan teachings as a means of practicing their religion in their daily lives. This is necessary due to the diversity of traditions within the Hindu archipelago, thus minimizing factors that cause conflict and disintegration. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the relevance and potential for integrating local Kaharingan values ​​into the Hindu religious education curriculum. It also aims to explore the values ​​of local Kaharingan wisdom in Hindu Religious Education learning. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, conducted through in-depth exploration at the research location. The results of this study show that the local Kaharingan teaching values ​​integrated into Hindu religious education learning include 1) Lime Sarahan teaching values ​​on the Panca Sradha topic. 2) Hindu Kaharingan ceremony values ​​on the Panca Yadnya topic, 3) Kandayu and Tandak teaching values ​​on the Dharma Gita topic, and 4) Pandehen teaching values ​​on the Dharma Wacana topic. The method of integrating local Kaharingan teaching values ​​in Hindu religious education learning uses practical methods, assignment methods, and methods that can be directly understood by students. It can be concluded that local Kaharingan teaching values ​​can be integrated into Hindu Religious Education learning. With the integration of local Kaharingan values ​​in Hindu religious education learning, not only can it increase students' sradha bhakti and justification of faith, but students can also practice and implement Kaharingan teachings in everyday life in society.

Filosofi Kaliring dalam Upacara Wara di Kabupaten Barito Selatan
type: item
description: Kaliring is a sacred structure used in the Wara death ceremony among the Hindu Kaharingan community in South Barito Regency, Central Kalimantan. This tradition serves a dual purpose: physically as a container for ancestral skulls and symbolically as a representation of the relationship between humans and ancestral spirits. However, modernization, lifestyle changes, and the lack of academic documentation have led to a gradual decline in its preservation and meaning. This study aims to describe the physical form of Kaliring, identify the symbols contained within it, and analyze the cultural and religious values reflected in the context of the Wara ceremony. The research employs a qualitative approach with a naturalistic method. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with religious and customary leaders, and documentation studies of artifacts and ritual records. The findings reveal that Kaliring is made of ironwood in a rectangular shape supported by two pillars and decorated with motifs of animals, plants, human figures, and red cloth symbolizing purity and spiritual strength. These symbols embody educational (religious, social, ethical, and character), cultural, and economic values that reflect the belief system and social order of the Dayak Kaharingan people. The culmination of the Wara ceremony is marked by the purification of skulls by the Kandung (holy person), followed by their placement into the Kaliring as a symbol of the ancestral spirit’s (liau) transformation into a deity (kalilungan). The study concludes that Kaliring is a sacred cultural heritage that reinforces spiritual identity and preserves the continuity of local wisdom within the Hindu Kaharingan community.

Skema Internalisasi Nilai Heterogenitas dalam Moderasi Beragama Berbasis Etnosains
type: item
description: Hinduism can be understood integrally as a system of humanistic values that is not confined to a single, segmented terminology, but rather manifested through a set of universal values with broad relevance to social life. Values such as Satyam (truth), Dharma (virtue), Seva (service), Santih (peace), Prema (compassion), Manava Seva Mandawa Seva, Ahimsa Paramo Dharma, and Vasudaiva Kutumbakam represent ethical foundations that can be implemented across diverse social contexts. This study aims to analyze the contribution of Hindu religious education in fostering religious moderation and social acceptance of diversity through an ethnoscience-based perspective. The research employs a literature review method with a critical discourse approach to examine Hindu values that can be internalized within educational practices. The findings indicate that Hindu religious education plays a strategic role in cultivating awareness of diversity through the habituation of teachings such as Tri Kaya Parisudha, Satyam, Sivam, Sundaram, Seva, Ahimsa, and Prema as foundational principles leading to the realization of Santih (peace). In addition, local practices such as matilesang raga are understood as ethnoscience-based actions that strengthen the integration of religious values, culture, and local wisdom. This study concludes that the systematic internalization of Hindu values within ethnoscience-oriented education serves as a reconstructive strategy for promoting religious moderation, while simultaneously constructing harmony among religious values, culture, customs, and social norms within multicultural societies.

Phytonym Study in Manuscript Usada Rare to Strengthen The Balinese Traditional Medicine System

description: The usada rare manuscript is one of the most important sources of Balinese traditional medicine, focusing on child healthcare and integrating knowledge of medicinal plants with spiritual practices. However, the plant names (phytonyms) present challenges for scientific validation, as many names are locally specific, polysemous, or refer to plant mixtures. This study aims to examine the structure and concept of usada rare, analyze phytonyms, and their relevance to modern healthcare. This study employs a qualitative-ethnographic approach through literature studies and interviews. Seven main versions of the usada rare and six supplementary lontar manuscripts containing plant name synonyms were examined. Phytonyms were extracted, cross-referenced, and matched with scientific names using ethnobotanical literature and herbarium databases. Fieldwork involved interviews with traditional healers or knowledgeable individuals. Observations and photographic documentation were used to verify plant identity and uses. Data were analyzed through editing, classification, tabulation, and interpretation, with quantitative summaries of plant part usage. A total of 275 plant species from 81 families were recorded. Fabaceae, Moraceae, and Zingiberaceae were the most represented families. Leaves were the most frequently used plant part, followed by roots and bark. Certain phytonyms, such as triketuka and sindrong, refer to herbal combinations whose full species composition remains unidentified. Overall, usada rare provides an empirical foundation for integrating local medical knowledge with contemporary, culturally sensitive approaches to child healthcare. The study also strengthens Balinese traditional medicine by reinforcing its epistemological legitimacy while opening pathways for interdisciplinary research and sustainable healthcare development.

Model Tata Kelola Strategis Destinasi Multi-Fungsi
type: item
description: The Pugung Raharjo Archaeological Park in East Lampung faces complex managerial challenges as a multi-functional destination encompassing conservation, tourism, and ritual space. This study aims to formulate a participatory strategic governance model to balance these three functions, particularly in accommodating the sacred values of megalithic remains actively used for Hindu spiritual rites. A qualitative method with a multi-stakeholder case study approach was employed. Primary data were gathered through in-depth interviews with the Cultural Heritage Preservation Office (BPK) Region VII, the East Lampung Regency Government, site guardians, and the Hindu community. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive method, grounded in Stakeholder Theory. The findings reveal that while no open conflicts have occurred, the current operational management of the site remains sporadic, relying on "informal customs" and ad-hoc communication between institutions. A significant gap was identified where the Hindu community, despite possessing high urgency and legitimacy regarding the site, has not been formally involved in strategic decision-making by central authorities. This lack of formalization poses a potential risk to the degradation of sacred values and administrative uncertainty. In conclusion, this research proposes a "Cultural Value-Based Strategic Governance Model" which advocates for the establishment of a Multi-Functional Governance Forum. This model offers solutions through the formalization of stakeholder participation, the integration of Conservation Religious Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and the strengthening of the site’s religious brand equity. Implementing this model is expected to ensure the physical preservation of cultural heritage while respecting its function as a living spiritual space.

Internalisasi Nilai Etika Sosial Hindu Melalui Pendidikan Pasraman
type: item
description: Globalization and modernization have significantly affected the sustainability of social ethical values within Hindu society, particularly among the younger generation. This condition highlights the urgency of strengthening value-based education to reinforce ethical foundations in social life. This study aims to analyze the role of Pasraman Semara Ratih in Tukadmungga Village, Buleleng District, Buleleng Regency, in internalizing Hindu-based social ethical values. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through an extensive literature review of Hindu scriptures and relevant scholarly works, supported by in-depth interviews and participatory observation involving pasraman administrators, teachers, and students. The data were analyzed thematically through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Pasraman plays a strategic role as a character education institution by internalizing core Hindu social ethical values, including Dharma (duty and social responsibility), Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), Karuna (compassion), and Sewa (selfless service). These values are implemented through a holistic learning process and socio-religious practices grounded in the principle of Tri Kaya Parisudha. In conclusion, Pasraman functions as a moral stronghold and a preserver of Hindu social ethical values, contributing to the formation of a young generation that is ethically grounded, socially responsible, and capable of adapting to the dynamics of modern life.

Makna Tradisi Tingkeban Dalam Upacara Manusa Yadnya Sebagai Fungsi Etnopedagogik di Desa Kalirejo, Kendal, Jawa Tengah
type: item
description: The Tingkeban tradition is an important ritual in Javanese culture, performed when a pregnancy enters the seventh month. Within the framework of Hindu teachings, Tingkeban can be understood as part of the Manusa Yadnya ceremony, a sacred sacrifice intended for human welfare and honoring new life. Although the tradition seems ancient, Hinduism has not abandoned tradition because tradition or culture is created through mind. Every culture contains values ​​that are beneficial to humanity, but in the modern era, belief in them has faded. Therefore, the values ​​​​in the Tingkeban tradition that is carried out to this day are important to reveal through research. This study aims to uncover the meaning behind the Tingkeban tradition practiced by Javanese Hindus, including the form, meaning, and function of the Tingkeban tradition in Kalirejo Village, Kendal, Central Java. This research is a qualitative study, data collected in the field through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results reveal that each element, both in rituals and offerings, contains spiritual, social, and philosophical meanings that reflect the harmonious relationship between humans, nature, ancestors, and God. The Tingkeban tradition also has a strong social function, including strengthening social relations, fostering a spirit of mutual cooperation, and serving as an ethnopedagogical medium for passing on cultural values ​​to the younger generation. Amidst the rapid flow of modernization, the people of Kalirejo Village continue to maintain this tradition as a cultural identity and community identity, as well as a form of local wisdom that is still alive and relevant to today's society. The conclusion is that the Tingkeban tradition contains noble values ​​that are worth maintaining until now because through this ritual, pregnant women are psychologically calmed which has an impact on fetal development.

A qualitative descriptive method was employed through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving Hindu religious leaders, PHDI, PERADAH, KMHDI, and academics. The findings indicate that the values of dāna, seva, and karma yoga are integrated into deliberative decision-making, transparent community fund management, and intergenerational participation, thereby strengthening social cohesion, accountability, and a sense of community ownership over social infrastructure. In addition, the integration of Hindu philanthropic values contributes to the preservation of cultural identity and the sustainability of community social practices. This study concludes that Hindu philanthropy functions as a sustainable social system that supports participatory governance and inclusive community-based infrastructure development.

Cognition Recovery Method Sebagai Pendekatan Hermeneutika Berbasis Lontar Dalam Meluruskan Miskonsepsi Yajña
type: item
description: The practice of yajña in the era of technological dominance has entered a critical period due to the rise of the phenomenon of the Religion Misconception Pandemic which causes yajña practitioners to fail to understand the meaning and only focus on quantity. Therefore, the Cognition Recovery Method is important to be realized through a renewable innovative method based on literature to create an innovative and relevant method in overcoming the Religion Misconception Pandemic when performing yajña. The data analysis techniques are (1) analyzing the referred lontar, (2) tracing the Religion Misperception Pandemic regarding the hermeneutics of yajña in the referred lontar, (3) developing a Cognition Recovery Method to correct yajña misconceptions, and (4) presenting the findings in a structured manner. The results of the study indicate that the lontar-based Cognition Recovery Method is quite effective in correcting yajña misconceptions through efforts; (1) Cognition Recovery Method Pro Kayika, in the form of introducing ritual sanctions, curative efforts, and behavioral control, (2) Cognition Recovery Method Pro Wacika, in the form of controlling aspects of speech and ritual sanctions, and (3) Cognition Recovery Method Pro Manacika, in the form of controlling thoughts. These efforts contribute to enriching the number of renewable methods and can be used in science by including meaningful analysis based on literary studies as a legacy of local wisdom. These efforts play a role in understanding in depth what, how, and why yajña is obligatory for Hindus to carry out.
