Ayu Veronika Somawati — Wed, 07 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Water holds a highly significant position in the lives of Hindus, not only as a basic necessity but also as an essential element in religious and social activities. However, over time, the quality and quantity of water in Bali have degraded, including in the villages of Medahan and Keramas in Blahbatuh Subdistrict, Gianyar Regency. This research aims to rediscover the values of deep ecology ethics in the efforts to preserve the water sources in these two villages to ensure that the water sources remain sustainable and can be passed down to future generations. This research uses observation, interviews and documentation studies to collect data, as well as qualitative descriptive methods to present research results. Based on research results, it was found that Medahan and Keramas villages have numerous water sources that are socially and spiritually significant. The community preserves them through the construction of sacred sites, the instilling of beliefs about the importance of water sources, the installation of warning signs, and communal efforts to clean the water sources. These water conservation actions, practiced and passed down by the community, are closely linked to the principles of deep ecology ethics, which urge humans to respect nature and recognize the rights of nature as equal to human rights. This ethic asserts that all living beings possess intrinsic value and are deserving of moral consideration. The implementation of deep ecology ethics emphasizes love and reverence for nature, akin to love for God. This research shows that the preservation of water sources in Medahan and Keramas is not only an ecological action but also a spiritual expression that reflects harmony between humans, nature, and God.

It is concluded that the Tri Guna concept holds strong relevance and strategic value as a basis for strengthening character education in the modern era, contributing to the formation of a generation with superior, balanced character capable of making positive contributions to society.

Ida Bagus Alit Arta Wiguna, Ida Ayu Made Yuni Andari — Wed, 07 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Indonesia, with its religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, faces great challenges in maintaining harmony between religious communities. Pasraman, as a non-formal educational institution that teaches Hinduism, has an important role in instilling the values of religious moderation in the younger generation. This study aims to analyse the learning strategy of religious moderation in pasraman, Mataram City, and the impact of internalising these values on sisyas. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and documentation studies in several active pasramans in Mataram.

This strategy focuses on teaching the values of tolerance, respect for differences, and social harmony. Despite challenges such as a limited understanding of Acarya and limited facilities, the study's results revealed that the value of religious moderation has succeeded in shaping the character of sisya, who are more open, tolerant, and ready to contribute to a multicultural society. This research contributes to developing Hindu religious education based on religious moderation in Indonesia, especially in increasing tolerance and harmony in a plural society.

Transformasi Ilmu Wariga Dalam Masyarakat Adat Buleleng Antara Tradisi Dan Modernitas

I Made Gami Sandi Untara — Wed, 07 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Wariga is a traditional knowledge system rooted in Balinese Hindu cosmology, transmitted across generations through ritual practice, oral tradition, and classical palm-leaf manuscripts (lontar). It serves as a spiritual and practical guide for determining auspicious (dewasa ayu) and inauspicious (ala dewasa) days for a wide range of activities, including religious ceremonies, agricultural practices, construction, marriage, and travel. In the indigenous communities of Buleleng, Wariga has long functioned as a sacred system sustaining harmony between humans, nature, and the divine. However, the forces of modernity, technological digitization, and generational shifts in values have contributed to significant transformations in the way Wariga is practiced, interpreted, and valued. This study aims to examine how Wariga is transforming in contemporary Buleleng society and to analyze the responses of local communities particularly customary leaders and younger generations to these changes. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with Wariga experts, community elders, youth, and digital content creators, as well as document and media analysis. The findings reveal a shift from a sacred, community-based epistemology to a more individualized and pragmatic application of Wariga, often accessed via digital platforms and mobile applications. Youth tend to engage with Wariga symbolically and functionally, while many traditional leaders express concern over the erosion of its spiritual and philosophical depth. Despite this, emerging intergenerational initiatives aim to revitalize Wariga through educational, contextual, and culturally grounded digital strategies. The study concludes that Wariga is not disappearing but is undergoing a dynamic reconfiguration shaped by the tension between tradition and modernity.

Yunitha Asri Diantary Ni Made — Wed, 07 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The body in the Hindu Balinese tradition is not only understood as a biological entity, but also as a sacred space that reflects the relationship between humans and divine power. Rukmini Tattwa as one of the important texts contains teachings about the sanctity of the body, worship of Gods and Goddesses, and fitness practices combined with spiritual discipline as a path to union with God.

The method used is qualitative with an approach of religious text study, symbolic analysis, and theological interpretation. Data were obtained through literature study, participatory observation, visual documentation, and in-depth interviews with religious figures and spiritual practitioners who were selected purposively. The results of the study show four main findings, namely 1) the body is seen as a sacred vessel (sarira) that must be cared for, 2) local Gods and Goddesses play a role in guiding religious awareness, 3) fitness practices in the form of yoga and body care are part of spiritual teachings, 4) interpretation of local theology that interprets the body as a medium of devotion. In conclusion, body spirituality is a real expression of local theology that is manifested through the care and purification of the body as a spiritual path.

Danau Toba sebagai Ruang Moderasi Beragama dan Teologi Pariwisata dalam Perspektif Hermeneutika Biblika

Sukanto Limbong, Gunawan Yuli Agung Suprabowo, Daniel Razsekar Panjaitan — Thu, 08 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Over the past decade, tourism development in the Lake Toba region has surged significantly. However, this growth often overlooks local wisdom, ecological sustainability, and the spiritual foundations of the local community. Lake Toba is not merely a natural tourist destination but a living space rich in cultural and religious significance. Its majestic landscape holds great potential as a site for interreligious and intercultural dialogue, and can even be interpreted as a cosmic scripture that resonates with harmony and spiritual openness. This study aims to explore and describe how Lake Toba can be strengthened as a space for interfaith and intercultural dialogue, and to analyze how the HKBP Church, as the majority Christian community in the region, can develop a contextual theology of tourism and religious moderation. A qualitative research method was employed, using a historical-critical and contextual hermeneutical approach to Psalm 19:2–5. This was complemented by in-depth interviews with informants representing subjective readers and interpretive communities. The theoretical framework is based on Stephen Bevans’ contextual theology, particularly his three models: translation, anthropological, and praxis. The findings indicate that: (1) nature, as viewed through the lens of the Psalm, is not merely an aesthetic backdrop but a divine revelation that invites spiritual encounter; and (2) spiritual tourism can serve as a means of social transformation, creating space for religious tolerance and moderation that strengthens social cohesion. In conclusion, religion should play an active role in tourism development, particularly by: (1) establishing nature-based liturgical programs and ecological spiritual education within the church; and (2) positioning itself as a cultural and environmental steward by promoting sustainable spiritual tourism in which spirituality, nature conservation, and respect for local traditions are harmoniously integrated.

Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Dharma Agama dan Dharma Negara Dalam Tradisi Upacara Hindu di Bali

I Made Hartaka — Sun, 18 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The application of religious dharma in Bali is evident in religious rituals and also in the implementation of public policies that prioritize local cultural values. If we look at it, dharma in Hinduism is a good action based on Hindu teachings performed by Hindus for the development and interests of Hinduism. This aligns with the dharma of the state, which serves as a guideline regulating societal activities, including religious activities, to ensure they comply with regulations set by the state, such as regional regulations and public order. The purpose of this research is to analyze the intersection or connection between religious dharma and state dharma in the context of traditions or ceremonies in Bali. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The results of this study are the dharma of religion and the dharma of the state in Hinduism, the manifestation of the values of the dharma of religion and the dharma of the state in religious ceremonies, the potential for conflict and resolution in the implementation of the dharma of religion and the dharma of the state, and the implications of integrating the values of the dharma of religion and the dharma of the state. The conclusion of this research shows that the integration of religious dharma and state dharma not only preserves the continuity of Balinese Hindu traditions but also strengthens the role of indigenous communities within the framework of the Indonesian rule of law. This integration can be strengthened through the development of regulations.

Astrologi Hindu dalam Dinamika Budaya Pertanian Subak

I Ketut Wartayasa — Sun, 18 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Subak agricultural system in Bali functions not only as a traditional irrigation structure but also as an integration of ecological knowledge and Hindu spirituality, particularly through the use of the Wariga astrological system. In the context of modernization and social transformation, this astrological practice is increasingly challenged, raising concerns over the sustainability of local cultural knowledge. This study aims to explore the role and transformation of Hindu astrology in the agricultural culture of Subak communities in Tabanan Regency, as well as to examine community-driven efforts to revitalize such traditional knowledge. Using an ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and focus group discussions with local farmers and customary leaders. The findings reveal that Wariga remains a significant epistemological framework for determining planting schedules and agricultural rituals, despite the ongoing hybridization with modern calendrical systems. Adaptation strategies such as the digitalization of Balinese calendars, the involvement of customary institutions, and cultural education initiatives have become essential in maintaining the relevance of Wariga. This research highlights the importance of recognizing local epistemologies in sustainable development and the need to integrate spirituality, traditional knowledge, and agricultural policy. This research confirms the importance of integrating local epistemologies in sustainable agricultural policy, while enriching non-Western scientific discourse.

Ni Komang Wiasti — Sun, 18 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Dharmagita education in the province of West Nusa Tenggara is experiencing a decline in interest among the younger generation due to modernisation and globalisation, which shifts their attention from spiritual cultural heritage to digital entertainment. This phenomenon raises concerns about the preservation of Hindu religious values and traditional culture. This research will explore strategies for revitalising Dharmagita education for the Hindu youth in NTB through an integrative approach that includes formal education, non-formal pasraman, art communities, the use of digital technology, and competition activities.

The research results show that effective revitalisation is achieved by integrating Dharmagita learning into school and pasraman curricula, providing teacher training, utilising interactive digital media, and regularly organising Dharmagita competitions as a form of appreciation and stimulation for the younger generation. In addition, the revival of this tradition as a component of character building and religious identity formation requires active involvement from families, communities, and religious institutions. This research concludes that the revitalisation of Dharmagita is an important strategy for preserving Hindu culture, strengthening the moral and spiritual values of the Hindu youth in NTB, and serving as a model of education based on local wisdom that is relevant to the challenges of the digital era.

Dekolonialisasi dalam Geguritan Kebo Tarunāntaka

Ida Bagus Gede Paramita — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Kebo Taruna, within the discursive construction of centrality in shaping various aspects of Balinese society, possesses an inherent connection to the concept of representation. The ideational conception of this character is specifically conveyed in the Geguritan Kebo Tarunāntaka. The manuscript contains discourse mechanisms, metaphorical language, and distinctive constructions of meaning. Textually, the geguritan illustrates Kebo Taruna’s role in de-hegemonizing the dominance of the Majapahit Kingdom over the Balinese Kingdom. This study aims to identify the emancipatory dimensions of the Kebo Taruna character in selected stanzas of the Geguritan Kebo Tarunāntaka, to analyze his representation as a symbol of resistance against Majapahit’s hegemonic power, and to reinterpret the geguritan as a medium of decolonial discourse. The approach employed combines Norman Fairclough’s model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) with speech act theory. The findings indicate that Kebo Taruna is represented as a symbolic agent who articulates resistance to the coloniality of power and constructs a sovereign and autonomous Balinese identity. The gegugitan reveals emancipatory dimensions through its rejection of hegemonic narratives, glorification of sovereignty, and transformation of language into a decolonial instrument. The conclusion affirms that Geguritan Kebo Tarunāntaka is not merely a literary heritage, but a discursive medium that embodies symbolic resistance, articulates a liberated cultural identity, and enacts decolonial strategies through language making it highly relevant for critical readings of power discourse within the Balinese local context.

Pembentukan Peradilan Agama Hindu di Indonesia

Ni Luh Gede Hadriani, I Putu Gelgel, Putu Sastra Wibawa — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hindus really need Religious Courts, because so far the District Courts have not been able to handle legal issues for Hindus, especially issues related to family law such as divorce, marriage and inheritance law.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the basis for the formation of religious courts for Hindus, both the legal, philosophical and sociological basis of the formation of Hindu Religious Courts in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the basis for the establishment of Hindu Religious Courts in Indonesia. The approach used is legal-sociological. This study found the basis for Religious Courts, namely philosophical, legal and sociological foundations. By finding the basis for the formation of Religious Courts for Hindus, it is hoped that Religious Courts for Hindus can be realized

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to develop a travel package centered on Ancient Balinese Yoga, based at the Hindu State University of I Gusti Bagus Sugriwa Denpasar. The tourism package is designed to highlight Bali's spiritual heritage through yoga practices rooted in Hindu Dharma teachings and the local philosophy of the Watukaru tradition. The research employs an Ethnographic Content Analysis (ECA) approach to qualitative data obtained through in-depth interviews, observation of yoga practices, focus group discussions, and literature review. The findings reveal that Ancient Balinese Yoga possesses distinctive characteristics compared to other forms of yoga, particularly in its integration of movement (yogācāra), pranayama, mantra, and Balinese spiritual teachings. The development potential is reflected in four key aspects: uniqueness and authenticity, aesthetic value, spiritual value and character formation, as well as holistic health benefits. This study concludes that Ancient Balinese Yoga holds significant potential as an international spiritual tourism destination, contributing meaningfully to cultural preservation, the strengthening of Bali’s spiritual identity, and the advancement of educational and sustainable tourism.

Simbolisme Busana Sulinggih dan Transformasi Nilai dalam Pendidikan Seni Keagamaan Hindu

I Kadek Abdhi Yasa — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Sulinggih attire in Balinese Hindu tradition embodies symbolic manifestations that integrate philosophical, spiritual, and pedagogical values, yet faces threats of meaning degradation due to globalization and the younger generation’s shift toward materialistic aesthetics. This study aims to explore the symbolic-aesthetic dimensions of Sulinggih attire, analyze the phenomenon of value shifts, and formulate relevant religious art education strategies. A qualitative ethnopedagogical method with an ethnographic design was employed through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis (lontar manuscripts, curricula) of 16 attire components, involving Sulinggih priests, literary experts, and youth. The results reveal three key findings: (1) the semiotic system of Sulinggihattire represents spiritual hierarchy, cosmic balance, and self-transformation; (2) a value shift from philosophical simplicity to aesthetic extravagance occurs, driven by commercialization and meaning reduction in digital media; (3) integrative educational strategies—textual-practical curriculum, philosophical training for Sulinggih, and technology integration (AR/VR)—prove effective in enhancing youth understanding. Theoretically, this study enriches ethnopedagogy by integrating local culture with educational innovation. Practically, a curriculum model based on Tri Hita Karana (Balinese philosophy of harmony) and collaborative workshops with traditional artisans (undagi) are recommended to restore the attire’s sacred meaning while maintaining relevance in the digital era. The implications emphasize balancing traditional value preservation and methodological adaptation in religious art education.

Dharmaning Brahmana dalam Geguritan Yadnya Ring Kuruksetra

I Wayan Juliana — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research is motivated by the lack of studies on the transfer of the Aswamedha Parwa text into Geguritan Yadnya Ring Kuruksetra (GYRK), especially from the perspective of brahmana ethics, amidst the rampant transformation of Balinese literature that often ignores the moral dimension. The purpose of the research is to analyze the representation of brahmana dharma and the concept of lascarya (sincerity) in GYRK, and to revitalize the philosophical values of Balinese Hinduism through a hermeneutic approach. The method used is textual hermeneutic analysis from the perspective of Hindu literature and philosophy. Primary data are taken from the GYRK and Aswamedha Parwa texts, while secondary data include brahmana ethics literature such as Sarasamuscaya and Agastya Parwa. The results of the study show that Tri Kaya Parisudha (thoughts, speech, deeds) and lascarya are actualized through the actions of four brahmanas who face moral dilemmas, such as food sacrifices in conditions of famine. The transformation of yadnya from a horse sacrifice ritual to a social sacrifice reflects the adaptation of Balinese Hindu ethical values to the challenges of modernization, such as individualism and poverty. Conflicts between characters in the text are resolved through spiritual integrity, such as sewaka dharma (sincere devotion) that goes beyond formal obedience. The conclusion of the study confirms that GYRK not only revitalizes traditional philosophical values, but also becomes a medium for intergenerational ethical dialogue, bridging local wisdom with modern demands through the holistic actualization of dharma. This study contributes to the study of religious literature with a hermeneutic analysis model that integrates text, context, and philosophy, while also offering an adaptive ethical paradigm in responding to global moral degradation.

Transformasi Nilai-Nilai Luhur Dalam Lontar Dharma Śāsana Sebagai Fondasi Pendidikan Sasana Hindu Di Era Modern

I Nyoman Ariyoga — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The background of this study stems from the gap between the rich spiritual and moral values found in the Lontar Dharma Śāsana a treasured body of Balinese Hindu literature and its pedagogical implementation in contemporary formal education, where the text is often limited to ritualistic studies without transformative integration into character formation. The aim of this research is to analyze the transformation of the noble values of Dharma Śāsana into the pedagogical foundation for Hindu sasana (character) education in the modern era, through the identification of values, evaluation of their relevance, and the design of a contextual curriculum. This study employs a qualitative library research method with a philosophical hermeneutic approach, facilitating a fusion of horizons between historical textual meanings and modern educational contexts. It also accommodates the transcendent, universal, and applicable dimensions of Hindu teachings through an analysis of six key pupuh (Mijil, Pucung, Dandang, Dandang Gula, Kumambang, Pangkur). The findings reveal: (1) the identification of 28 core values categorized into spiritual, social, and moral dimensions; (2) a three-phase integrated curriculum design that synergizes Dharma Śāsana values with the Pancasila Student Profile through project-based learning; (3) an authentic assessment model based on an adapted Bloom's taxonomy of spiritual-social competencies; and (4) implementation strategies such as restorative justice rooted in Asta Pangredanan and contemplative pedagogy. The conclusion asserts that this transformative model effectively bridges the gap between text and practice, while also offering a character education framework grounded in local wisdom that is responsive to the challenges of the digital era. The scientific contribution of this research lies in the development of the first integrative pedagogical model that converts the hermeneutics of traditional Hindu texts into an operational framework for the Merdeka Curriculum, enriching the discourse on locality-based character education within a global perspective.

Strategi Pembelajaran Hybrid (Luring-Daring) Mata Pelajaran Agama Hindu di SMA Dwijendra Denpasar Pada Era Pasca-Pandemi

Gede Agus Jaya Negara — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation of global education, including Hindu religious instruction, which emphasizes spiritual values and traditional practices. This shift demands adaptive learning strategies that preserve the essence of religious teachings while remaining responsive to technological advancements. This study aims to analyze the hybrid learning strategy (offline-online) implemented in Hindu religious education at SMA Dwijendra Denpasar, assess its challenges and opportunities, and evaluate the effectiveness of the applied model. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, using data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the developed model successfully integrates cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions through interactive approaches such as virtual pilgrimages, gamification, and digital journaling. In addition to increasing students’ motivation and participation, this strategy redefines the teacher’s role into that of a spiritually grounded facilitator utilizing technology. Nevertheless, several challenges persist, including digital access inequality, limitations in translating sacred experiences into digital formats, and the complexity of managing multimodal instruction. Even so, innovations such as the Virtual Pura and digital peer mentoring systems have helped overcome some of these barriers. The study concludes that a value-based and contextually grounded hybrid learning strategy can foster authentic, adaptive, and transformative religious learning experiences in the post-pandemic era.

Estetika Dalam Tradisi Sakral

I Putu Ariyasa Darmawan — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Art in Balinese Hindu society functions not merely as an aesthetic expression, but as an integral component of ritual practices that reflect cosmological and spiritual values. Gulingan Village in Badung serves as a significant locus for the preservation and transformation of sacred art, yet philosophical studies that position art as a medium of spiritual transcendence within Hindu aesthetics remain limited, particularly within customary communities. This study aims to explore in depth the roles and meanings of art in the religious practices of the Gulingan community, emphasizing the symbolic, spiritual, and social dimensions embedded in sacred artistic expressions. The research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of artistic practices. The findings reveal that art in Gulingan is perceived as an act of devotion and a medium for uniting humans, nature, and the divine, as embodied in the Hindu aesthetic principles of Satyam, Śivam, and Sundaram. Art serves a symbolic and pedagogical function as a sacred language that reinforces spiritual awareness and cultural identity. Community participation in transmitting these artistic traditions also fosters a space for dialogue between tradition and modernity. In conclusion, art in Gulingan is not merely an aesthetic expression but a cosmological and transformative medium that binds spiritual, social, and ecological relationships into a unified value system. Art plays an active role in fostering social cohesion, maintaining spiritual continuity, and articulating the values of Tri Hita Karana in the daily lives of Gulingan communities. This study contributes to the development of Hindu aesthetic discourse by highlighting how sacred art functions as a living philosophical praxis within a local community context, thereby enriching the field of community-based sacred art studies.

Komodifikasi Spiritual dan Ketahanan Budaya Hindu

I Gede Sutana — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Bali faces an existential dilemma in maintaining its Hindu cultural identity amid transformation into a global tourism destination, where spiritual commodification threatens the sacred values of traditional practices such as Satwika food and Usadha. This research analyzes the representation of Hindu cultural identity through these two practices and their interaction with cultural tourism dynamics. A qualitative-ethnographic method was applied with case studies in Ubud and Penglipuran villages, involving participant observation, in-depth interviews with 15 informants, and analysis of lontar manuscripts. The results show that 72% of restaurants and Usadha clinics in tourist areas ignore sacred rituals and dana punia principles, replacing them with profit-oriented business models. This commodification transforms spiritual essence into exotic consumption products, risking the disruption of authentic value transmission to younger generations. However, the Penglipuran community has developed cultural resilience strategies through ritual integration in participatory homestays and hybrid Usadha models that combine dana punia with commercial rates. The research affirms that the preservation of Balinese Hindu cultural identity depends on creative adaptation that maintains harmony between spirituality, ecology, and economy. Theoretically, this research contributes to cultural tourism theory by presenting the concept of adaptive cultural resilience and enriching Hindu cultural resilience studies by proving that ritual flexibility based on Tri Hita Karana is more effective than traditional rigidity. These findings enrich glocalization discourse by demonstrating the capacity of local wisdom to create cultural sustainability amid globalization pressures.

Religious intolerance in Indonesia has been on the rise, negatively affecting social harmony through increasing violations of religious freedom by both state and non-state actors. This phenomenon underscores the need for an approach capable of addressing the complexities of a multi-religious society. This study aims to analyze the contributions of perennialism and religious moderation as strategic pillars in fostering harmony amidst religious intolerance, while also contributing to the fields of religious studies and social-religious policy in Indonesia. The study adopts a qualitative literature review methodology, utilizing thematic analysis of relevant literature. The thematic analysis is carried out by identifying the key themes in the literature on perennialism, religious moderation, and interfaith harmony, and examining how these concepts are applied in the Indonesian context. The findings indicate that perennialism provides a philosophical foundation through the recognition of universal spiritual values shared across religions, while religious moderation promotes inclusive and tolerant attitudes in religious practices. Together, these concepts serve as strategic pillars in strengthening interfaith dialogue, fostering solidarity, and enhancing cross-cultural understanding. Additionally, religious moderation emphasizes the importance of Pancasila values as the foundation of national unity. In conclusion, the integration of perennialism and religious moderation offers not only theoretical insights but also practical solutions to mitigate religious conflict and build sustainable harmony in Indonesia's multicultural society. This study introduces a novel approach by integrating perennialism and religious moderation, offering a more holistic and contextually relevant framework for Indonesia’s socio-religious landscape, an area not extensively addressed in prior research.
