Freedom for mankind always coveted by all religions and Hinduism in freedom, not only in the physical sense but the freedom to physically and spiritually. Freedom in Hinduism is , free from the law of karma, free of re-becoming (reincarnation), so the Hindus in achieving freedom requires a long process during his life and possibly after reincarnated several times.

The effect is very large yuga time in public life today, because time yuga, people are always meterialistis, only 25% of the people running the dharma is the truth is not like the others, namely Kerta Yuga, Yuga and Dwapara Yuga Traita. If the present yuga times in our lives that truth always carry dharma then the result will be doubled, as if we worship the Hindu holiday or Purnama Tilem result is much larger than usual day. So this yuga occasion Hindus should any action must be based on truth, frees himself from adharma,  free yourself from the materialistic and worldly that we achieved the goal of liberation is moksha.

Understanding Moksha.

In Hinduism we believe there are five beliefs Panca srada comprising, Brahman, Atman, Karma Pala, Reincarnation, and Moksha. Moksha sansekreta comes from the root word “MUC” which means free or freed. Moksha can also be called the Mukti means to achieve freedom jiwatman or lasting spiritual happiness. Jagaditha can also be referred to as evidence of means to foster happiness, prosperity of society and the state.

So Moksha is a belief in freedom of the unification between atman with brahman. If people are experiencing moksha he will be free from worldly ties, free from the law of karma and free from re-becoming (reincarnation) and will run Sat, Cit, Ananda (truth, consciousness, bliss).

In life we are now also able to attain moksha called Jiwan Mukti (Moksha stage in life), does not mean that moksha can only be achieved and felt after the death, in life even now we can feel the freedom of the origin requirement moksha, so we’re reaching moksa no waiting time until death.

Achieving Moksha.
To achieve moksha one must have a certain requirement so that the process can attain moksha norma2 run in accordance with the teachings of Hinduism. In achieving Moksha can be done in several ways:
1. Dharma.
In the Hindu religion contained in Parusanta Chess explained that the purpose of life is how to uphold dharma, every action must be based on the truth that there is no dharma higher than truth. In Bagawad Gita mentioned that Dharma and Truth is the breath of life. Krishna in his discourse to Arjuna says that where there is Dharma, there is virtue and sanctity, where liability and Truth obeyed there is no victory. People who protect Dharma are protected by Dharma then always head in a holy and honorable life.

In an age when everyone is insane to ignore the truth, people have justified the means to an end, a moral crisis is rampant everywhere, truth and justice are scarce, people are not familiar with the culture shame, all actions are considered correct and normal. The truth never changes Dharma, Dharma has existed in ancient times, age and the age to come, there is all the time but every age has a characteristic lain2 the spiritual exercises (spiritual). To Kerta Yuga good spiritual exercise is to do meditation, to Treta Yuga  good exercise is to do Yadnya or sacrifice, for Dwapara kerochanian good practice is to perform the ceremony of worship and Yoga for Kali Yuga kerochanian good exercise is to do a name Smarana ie repeat ngulang or the holy name of God.

2. The approach to the Wasa Widhi
To get closer to be presented to The Widhi Wasa there are several ways in which Hindus are ways Darana (assign copyright), Dhyana (focuses copyright), and meditation (moment of silence). By doing rochani, especially with spiritual inquiry, will be able to realize the unity of God and enjoy the nature that is always there within us. If the nature God has embedded in us that we are close to God Almighty that all our wishes will be granted, and we are always able to protection and safety.

3. Chastity.
To acquire knowledge of the holy, and live Yang Widhi Wasa in diversity is expressed in prayer are renowned Upanishad: Asatoma Satgamaya, Tamasoma Jyothir Gamaya, Mrityorma Amritan Gamaya meaning, lead us from the darkness into the light, Lead us from death to immortality.

Each of us did , we get used to invoke the guidance presented to The Widhi Wasa that we survived and are always protected. Any work we do, if we are working for God and dedicated presented to The Widhi Wasa, then the work has a very high value. By linking this work with The Widhi Wasa, it becomes sacred and has the ability and high scores.

The purpose of our life is to be free from Triguna Atman and integrates with the atman. In the Vedas called the Moksartham Keep Dhitaya Ca Iti Dharmah which means it is the purpose of religion (Dharma) we are to attain moksa (moksa Artham) and the well-being of mankind (jagadhita).

Characteristic person who has attained mukti jiwatman is.
1. Always find rest and spiritual birth.
2. Not affected by the atmosphere of joy and sorrow.
3. Not tied to the mundane.
4. Unselfish, always concerned with other people (many people).

To attain Moksha several ways that can be taken in accordance with the talent and cultivated fields now called Chess Marga there is also a mention of the Chess Yoga are four routes to attain Moksha. The fourth Chess Clan consists of:

1. Jnana Marga Yoga.
At present the role of science and technology (science and technology) is critical to national development as well as other sciences. Every country will make every effort to use existing resources to compete in the field of science and technology, who controls science and technology then it is they who rule the world is. The word Jnana means wisdom or knowledge of philosophy, Yoga is derived from the word yuj which means the tendons connect.

So Janana Marga Yoga MEANS way to achieve unity or meetings between Atman with Paramatman (God) based on knowledge (wisdom philosophy), especially regarding truth and self-liberation from the bonds of earthly (maya). In this life we choose our work in accordance with the profession talent given by Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa and our educational background or work very interesting that we are fully present, because the talent is God-given gift of a very high value which is the result of our Karma before we reincarnation as a human being. If we want to serve themselves in science, to note is that science can help humanity to overcome this life.

2. Karma Marga Yoga.
Way or path to reach moksa (merging of Atman with Brahman), by always doing good, but do not expect a reply or results for its own sake (amerih sukaning ) called Karma Marga Yoga. In Karma Marga Yoga, we as Hindus perform any actions we should work in the interest of the community at large and not there is a desire to enjoy the results, because if we always think the results will arise attachment, if attachment has grown in our soul, the serenity will away from reality, so that our souls will be poisoned by Sad Ripu of six men who made up the main enemy of Kama, lobha, Mada, Moha, Kroda, Matsarya (lust, greedy, anger, drunkenness, confusion, jealousy). In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna said that repeatedly says to Arjuna, do your job, do the job right but do not want to enjoy the fruits of that work. The purpose of Krishna gives sermon to Arjuna not to meli
hat his result is, we as actors really work all our works are transformed into karma yoga so that these activities bring us into union with God it is called the Karma Marga Yoga. If someone is able to do the job without seeing results it will be a wise benar2 (Stithaprajna), which is not affected by the state of joy and sorrow or joy and sorrow.

The act is karma, everyone born of karma, the karma of life and death in karma, karma, good and bad sources of sin or virtue, profit or loss, happiness or sadness, karmalah cause actual birth, then karma in life is a very important issue .

3. Bakti Yoga Marga.

Path or way to achieve moksha or freedom, ie the union of Atman with God devotional prostration presented to The Widhi Wasa. Devotion is love for God, is selfless and without the slightest desire anything worldly. For Hindus to perform Bakti Yoga Marga God by singing nama2 ulang2 air, along with the Holy orang2 having devotion, concentration of mind at all times to God, and this is the devotion of the most easy to do. As we do every day by reciting the Gayatri Mantra Trisandya three times a day.

To instill a sense of devotion presented to The Widhi Wasa, the child should be educated to say start small with Gayatri Mantra meaning and explanation masing2 temple, so pervasive in their minds and can lead ajaran2 righteousness (Dharma). If you have not memorized should be read only and try a soft voice so benar2 pervasive in our hearts and think of Brahman have in mind and meditate continuously for chanting the Gayatri Mantra with Gayatri Mantra chanting is always constant, then we as though one with God or Atman united with God., so that we find rest, peace, safety and kesejahteraan.Dalam do Bakti Yoga Marga especially piodalan ceremony in pura2 throughout Indonesia, the Hindu community has had way dedication ceremony (worship) by default, wherever we do worship are arranged together , and always chanted the Gayatri Mantra before worship begins.

At the ceremony Pastor piodalan also sung lagu2 residents sari as presented to The Widhi Wasa worship that have the meaning is that before we started praying already feel the union of Atman with Brahman.

4. Raja Marga Yoga.
The road to achieving moksha according to Hindu religion can be done through Tapa, Brata, yoga, and meditation. To control yourself by doing exercise to overcome Sadripu called Tapa, Brata, because if we are able to control Sadripu the easier way of achieving moksha. Besides controlling the Sad Ripu, we also do exercise to bring together Atman with God called Yoga and meditation, by doing exactly as precise concentrations in the atmosphere of serenity and perfect syandu so we can merge with God.

To attain moksha forestry do not have to go meditation, Yoga, in the kingdom was doing and establish the truth of the Dharma can achieve Moksha.
Entanglement is Moha, freedom is Moksha, as long as we are still suffering from attachment, Moksha may not be achievable. Sometimes we are a bit difficult to let go of attachments, and this requires regular exercise. To control the Sad Ripu not easy, it requires patience and perseverance, and we always do the introspection of ourselves to which we have been doing the exercises. Moreover, we will undergo a Chess Marga Yoga does require tough mentally not give up and we got to know our capabilities, especially talents endowed by His Widhi Wasa so that in carrying out one Chess Clan we get no obstacles or constraints that the relatively short time we have can perform perfectly despite not achieving Moksha but we already feel the results

Besakih Temple

origin is no Besakih, before there was anything there are only woods and wilderness in that place, as before there Segara Rupek (Bali Strait). Bali and Java before they become one and yet separated by the sea. The island is long and named the island Dawa. In East Java, the Mount Rawang (now known Raung) there was a hermit named Yogi or Rishi Markandeya.

He came and Hindustan (India), by the escort-escorts called Giri Batara Rawang for spiritual holiness, the skill and wisdom (sakti sidhi ngucap). At first, the Yogi Markandeya meditated in the mountains Demulung, then moved to the mountain Hyang (supposedly it was DIYENG Hyang mountain in Central Java who came and said DI hyang). So long he was imprisoned there, got word of Hyang Widhi Wasa that he and his followers merabas forest on the island Dawa after completion, so that the land was distributed to his followers.

The Yogi Markandeya execute command and immediately set off to the east with the escort-escorts about some 8000 people. Upon arriving at the destination of the Yogi Markandeya told all the escorts working merabas wilderness, undertaken as where it should be.
When merabas forests, many attendants the Yogi Markandeya sick and die, and some are dead eaten by the beast, because it is not preceded by a ceremony yadnya (bebanten / offerings)

Then stopped and the forest perabasan Yogi Markandeya back again to the original hermitage (the mountain is said to roar in East Java. During some time the Yogi Markandeya lived in the mountain roar. Upon a time considered to be good (Adults Ayu) he returned to continue perabasan forest it to the opening of new areas, accompanied by the sages and ascetics who will be invited to jointly presented to beg wara nugraha Hyang Widhi Wasa for the success of this work. escorts this time amounted to 4000 people coming and Age village (population at the foot of the mountain roar) with bringing more agricultural equipment including seeds that will be planted in the forest that will dirabas it. Upon arrival at the destination, the Yogi Markandeya immediately do penance yoga meditation together and presenting other yogis upakara yadnya, the god Yadnya and Blind Yadnya. Following the ceremony was finished, his followers were put to work to continue perabasan forest, felling trees and others started and south to north. Due’ve pretty much seen dirabas forest, so thanks Asung wara nugraha Hyang Widhi Wasa, the Yogi Markandeya ordered perabasan forest, it stopped and he started to divisions of land for his followers made their respective fields, and housing tegal.

In a place where the forest begins perabasan The Yogi Markandeya pitcher plant (payuk) contains water, also Pancadatu the form of metallic gold, silver, copper, iron and bronze with jewel Mirah Adi (major gems) and upakara (bebanten / offerings) sprinkled More Pangentas Tirta (holy water). The place where the tools were planted BASUKI named. Since that time the followers of the Yogi Markandeya who comes on at the next time and merabas woods for opening new territory, no longer overwritten disaster as to which he had ever experienced before. So a few excerpts from the Markandeya Purana ejection origin of the village Besakih which, as mentioned earlier named Basuki and the development later today named Besakih.

Perhaps based on that experience, and also based on what is contained in the teachings of Hindu religion Panca Yadnya, until now every time Hindus would build something good building houses, shops, offices until the construction of temples, as well as begin work on fields or in companies, they held first upakara yadnya like Nasarin or mendem Elementary Building. After that work has commenced, with the hope to obtain success in addition to Hindu religious spiritual efforts undertaken by the personnel and physical skill or expertise that they have. Further attention to the content of Markandeya Purana ejection and it was also connected with the realities that we witness everyday till now about the livelihood of the community, especially in terms of setting the traditional village and subak in the rice fields. Therefore we can conclude that the Besakih is the first place our ancestors who moved from the mountain roar in East Java initially build a village and employment particularly in agriculture and livestock. Similarly, developing the teachings of Hinduism.

Mekotekan

Munggu is a small village located about 10 kilo meters to the west of the city of Denpasar and counted into Mengwi district, Badung. The small village with houses crowded typical small villages in Bali in general, a small paved road and has 12 Banjar were located almost adjacent to the Banjar Banjar each other.

 

War does not always lead to hostilities and casualties. This sentence is a description of the tradition Grebek Mekotek or timber wars always do Munggu villagers, Mengwi district, Badung regency, Bali, on each occasion Brass. This war is different from the war in general. No sharp weapon and another one not to attack each other.

Mekotek itself is derived from tap tap which is the sound of wood that are pitted against each other. A thousand more residents than 12 hamlets in the village Munggu participate in a tradition that was inherited when the war victory celebration in the kingdom Blambangan ago. Every citizen who follow Mekotek required to bring a timber types pulet length is about 3.5 meters.

Residents then divided into several groups, and incorporating the wood to form a cone. Then, there was one of the people who climbed on top of the wood pile to crash with the group that founded the wood pile to another.

Aside from being a symbol of victory, Mekotek also an attempt to deny reinforcements ever happened to this country decades ago. That said, in 1915, the Netherlands banned the holding of tradition Mekotek fearing an uprising, then comes the disaster in the form of the plague, which killed 10 people every day. After that, people undertake negotiations with the Dutch and finally allowed to return to roll back this tradition and never no more disasters like before.

Residents who participated in this Mekotek tradition ranging from 12 years to 60 years. The younger generation deliberately engaged to introduce and preserve indigenous culture Munggu this village.

What is interesting about this Munggu village? None other Mekotek tradition or they also call “Ngerebek”, which took place yesterday. A unique tradition that for generations made every Kuningan Day is Hindu Balinese feast that fall every 6 months based on Balinese calendar.

Of the many local residents Munggu people I have met no one knows exactly when did this tradition held, most of them only know of this tradition has been carried out before they were born and allegedly if Mekotek not done then the village will experience “grubug”, ie death residents without a definite cause and persist.

But whatever the background of this tradition, for me Mekotek tradition is one of the traditions that aim to unite together in a village boy, was very clear when dozens of scribes (wood blunt, small, long used to Mekotek) together may appoint some person or perhaps dropping a large Penjor though, of course, for the owner penjor who got “game” should not be angry. Sing those youths who can drop a penjor and sturdy.

Reincarnation

Reincarnation is synonymous with Punarbawa or Samsara. Punarbawa derived from the Sanskrit word meaning Punar the back and Bring meaning born. So Punarbawa is a belief of repeated birth or a birth process which is called the incarnation, reincarnatie or samsara.

If there are repeated birth means no deaths or life repeated over and over again. It sounds strange but real, birth can happen over and over again several times without boundaries.
In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna said: O Arjuna, you and I have been born again and again before this, I just know when you’re not, of course, the birth will be followed by death and death is followed by birth.

Through the Atman as Brahman spark, creatures can enjoy kehidupan.Akibat Atman there is life in this world and the Self in the process of moving air will turn to move and repeated by using a number of different bodies through reincarnation (punarbawa / samsara) is re-becoming as beings.

At 4 months old fetus, atman already wrapped with the Animal Triguna, Rajas and Tamas. How the Atma can turn all beings such as humans, animals and tumbuh2an. Human formation which consists of five elements called Panca Maha Buta the ground (pertiwi), water (apah), fire (teja), wind (wind) and ether (akasa) after receiving Brahman rays during gestation can live and be human called Jiwatman.

So people can not live without the Atman and become human beings as such now ini.Hubungan between Atma as the body is like the clothes we wear, we are Atma is our body and clothes. If clothes have worn the shirt will be dicampakan not used anymore, and we (Atma) will be looking for a replacement of this new outfit is called reincarnation process.

As Krishna said to Arjuna, that you are the user’s clothes but you’re not the shirt, you inhabitants of the house but you are not home. You who know the field, kshetrajna, but thine kshetra terrain. Then you have to equate yourself with the atma to always remember the Atma, Atma is Brahman and Brahman is the atma.

Atma wrapped Triguna stage in the Atma can not be united with Brahman and always through the process of reincarnation in Bali area if there is a newborn child, the parents or the family will come to the Father to ask who numitis (reincarnation) to the world ini. Pastor with a ceremony will provide answers that are numadi (reincarnation) to the world is the queen deaf (grandfather) had died. It is noted that physical symbol baby rather like grandfather like eyes, eyebrows, nose, etc., in respect of a baby still can not be expected sifat2 brought his grandfather probably did the same with a new look after a major characteristic brought from his grandfather.

As an illustration as follows. In the village there is a very naughty boy, he always stole so few times in the police station. His parents were very confused always deal with the police let alone the cost to make it up a bit. Some suggested diwacakin (made the ceremony) so mischievously missing or renamed because if children are often renamed sakit2an that these beliefs will be healthy, or moved disorder where deposited kepanti care or other family.

So the decision was taken in the city moved deposited each other close relative in order to change his attitude. After several months of going again with the same case. Some claimed, indeed disposition nubadi (reincarnation) or a rather extreme if the child said yes catfish catfish also.

If we observe scientists such as Albert Einstein, congenital talent is talent at the time of the previous life, from childhood been looked his talent as a great scientist, because at the time of the previous life he was concerned with the problem of knowledge he is not directly in the present life there must be innate from birth.

Similarly, the large artist before birth in the past has been an active artistic life such as painting, dancing, making the life of the current reincarnation of this talent is taken, so if famous people such as invisible autodidact without learning they can do and success.

So contrary, the continue to study hard in science but not the surface or famous appear present in life, maybe later after the new reincarnation visible results. Because karma is done now may not necessarily be enjoyed now, may be enjoyed in the afterlife or reincarnation difficult times specified period of time.

Omed-Omedan

Bali has many unique traditions that can not be found in other parts of Indonesia. One unique is the tradition of “Omed-omedan” which we can only find in Banjar Kaja, Denpasar Sesetan. The word “Omed-omedan” in Indonesian means of Attraction.

 

 

Unique tradition has been passed down from generation to generation long before the Dutch colonial era. As one of Bali’s cultural heritage, rich in art and culture and values will be full of shared values and sacred then Omed-omedan still preserved by Krama Sekaa Cadet Teruni (STT) or adolescents in communities Sesetan, Denpasar, Bali.

Omed-omedan regularly held every year is exactly the Geni Ngembak day or the day after Nyepi. This event is usually held along Highway Sesetan, so many came to witness this unique tradition. In addition to social bonding among participants Omed-omedan, this tradition is also intended as a starting reinforcements.

A day after executing Tapa Brata Penyepian on Nyepi Day Ngembak called Geni, a UK Village People in Denpasar has a unique tradition a little eccentric and feared would be lost along with the passage of Act Pornography. although rejected by widespread demonstrations against this Act. Knapa so because tradition is enough kissing scenes showing atrocities perpetrated by young Indigenous Village Sesetan. Tradition is tradition omed omedan ancestors had done since the Dutch colonial era. Initially the mass kiss ritual performed at Puri Oka. Puri Oka was a small kingdom in the Dutch colonial era.

The story, at one point said to the king of Puri Oka suffered ill. The king had tried to go to various doctors but never healed. On Nyepi Day, the Puri Oka held omedan omed game whose origins he said of the med-field (pull-pull). I was so enthusiastic, so rowdy atmosphere due to mutual attraction of the event truna truni. The king who was ill was furious. With staggered king out and see citizens who are pull-pull to cuddle. Strangely saw the scene, suddenly the king no longer feel the pain.

Miraculously after the king returned to normal healthy. The king then issued a decree that must be implemented by omed omedan Nyepi. But the Dutch government, who was colonized frustrated with the ceremony. The Netherlands also banned the ritual game of the young couple. Abiding citizens ignored the indigenous Dutch ban and still hold omed omedan. But suddenly there are 2 big pigs fighting in a omed omedan usually held. Finally the king and the people to ask for directions to the ancestors. After that omed omedan held back but the day after Nyepi. In the Dutch period, omed omedan done by embracing each other. However, over the age of the participants omed omedan bolder and no longer embrace each other but also with each other kisses. Initially just a kiss on the cheek, but since 3 years ago, has turned into a kiss kissing lips.

Not infrequently after omed omedan youth directly Banjar found her match. But with the development, sometimes leading usually is positioned between the rows truna / men and ranks truni / she already has a boyfriend relationship.

Ogoh Ogoh

Bhuta Kala named Ogoh-Ogoh
Natural circulation and cause time is called bhuta kala. Bhuta natural meaning constructed by the five elements maha bhuta. Because it raises planets circulating time. Time in Sanskrit called Kala.

In Hindu Bhuta Kala is symbolized and illustrated with spooky-faced giant or horrible. Sense, if we are wrong to use the space and time in this life will be terrible. But if we are able to live with the proper use of time, the space and time it was like a god who bestows gifts.

Bhuta Kala is generally thought of as a magical creature who faced scary scary. His mouth was wide, long fangs, bulging red eyes, hair down without rules, belly fat with fierce attitude. The situation is often realized by ogoh-ogoh before Nyepi. Bhuta Kala depictions are not unusual as the imagination of the artists and clergy. Because if humans. not in harmony with the Bhuta Kala horror like seeing Bhuta Kala described above. In everyday language, especially among the Hindus in Bali there is a term for nyomia mecaru Bhuta Kala. Ceremony nyomia Bhuta Kala means changing the nature of the ferocious Bhuta Kala a gentle nature helps people to develop good deeds.

So the essence of the ceremony that is motivating spiritual mecaru to always do change the nature of a malignant soft Bhuta Kala’s existence. Thus there was a relationship between man harrnonis Bhuta Kala, harmony that is the purpose of the ceremony mecaru it. Bhuta Kala described was none other than the natural properties of ours. Man living with nature even physically small man also called natural or Bhuwana Alit. Sometimes nature as man’s best friend is sometimes the enemy of man. Fire and water can be a friend and help people’s lives. It could also be the enemy of man such as fire, flood and other. To be natural is always friendly with humans, who must actively build friendship it is man himself. Friendship with nature it can be done by way of scale or real and abstract manner or by kerokhanian.

Mecaru ceremony is to build friendships with nature in a way abstract. How noetic this must be balanced by scale. Bhuta Kala Thus it will always be a friend to help human life.
From the point of the word, Bhuta Kala comes from the word meaning Bhuta elements of our nature. Bhuta built by the five elements called Panca Maha Bhuta, the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether. The five elements of nature that is built like the planets that dot the dome of the sky. The planets closest to us is the earth, moon and sun. Turnover planets rise time and season. Time in Sanskrit is Kala.

Bhuta Kala is a real sense of space and time. Humans lived in a particular time and space. No human lives are not at that particular time and space. Time space and it can be a man’s best friend can also be a troublesome enemy of man. In this friendship is people who should actively make friends with space and time. For that man should understand the distribution of space and time and all the potential that was conceived in the circulation. With caru that means we can make the positive space and time or Bhuta Kala, so Bhuta Kala is no longer terrible.

Yadnya

For the Hindu community wherever they may be among religions and peoples are like two sides of a coin to each other are not easily separated even indistinguishable. Religion is certainly derived from the truth of God is expressed and implied in the scriptures.

 

While the customary sense of the word is clearly derived from the habits of human behavior because it is considered to have value, though not absolute truth is maintained. Therefore religion rooted in the truth of God, then he is “Sanata Dharma” is the eternal truth.

Changes that occur and affect human civilization can not change the truth of religion. Can and tend to follow the changes only if the terms meyangkut terms of material that supports the implementation of religious teachings. For example, as has been done by Hindus in Bali that is associated with yadnya ceremony.

Yadnya ceremonies is a step that is believed to be a Hindu religious activities are very important. Because yadnya is one buffer earth. As mentioned in Hindu religious scriptures are the Vedas Atrharwa. Maintenance of life in this world can go on continuously throughout yadnya be done by human beings. Similarly yadnya is the center of the creation of the universe yadnya also a source of ongoing turnover in the book of life are called Chakras Yadnya Bhagawadgita. If the disc is not spinning yadnya then life would be destroyed.

Religious ceremony is one part of the implementation as the basis of return Tri yadnya Rna. The Vedas teach God created the universe by Yadnya. Therefore moral man would feel indebted to the Lord. To convey a sense of devotion to God and the people of Bhuta Yadnya to maintain all of God’s creation. Sense of debt to the ancestors realized by devotion to the ancestors.

The creation of the teachings of the spiritual and moral teachings of the worldly life is good to prosperity. Yadnya ceremony is a vehicle to drive all content, including natural and human to be upgraded to the life growing in both the physical and spiritual life.
Because life beryadnya in Hindu religious activities such the dominant Hindu society it is very necessary that a practical guidance for the implementation of the quality yadnya.

For Hindus in Indonesia, especially in Bali, moral debt is generally done in a ceremony Panca spanning yadnya Yadnya, which consists of Gods Yadnya, Pitra Yadnya, to human Yadnya, Bhuta Yadnya, Rsi Yadnya.

Yadnya ceremony was performed from the smallest level such that their fellow yadnya ceremony mesaiban (deliver to rice in the morning) to large upacar who spent millions of dollars. Religious ceremony is considered a formal Rna payment. For Hindus in Indonesia moral debt that is rarely done is imprisoned. This is caused by the lack of inside knowledge about the philosophy of the people who study religious ceremony, so do japa is considered a heavy burden in his life.

Bali is the name of a province in Indonesia, and also the name of the largest island that is part of the province. Besides consists of the island of Bali, Bali Province region also consists of the islands smaller in the vicinity, namely the island of Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Island and Island Ceningan.

The majority of religious people in Bali are Hindu. As is widely known that Hindu religion is touted as the oldest religion in the world that comes from God’s Revelation to the rishi in India in the past.

Hinduism is a fad that promotes harmony with universal peace is worth the view that every human being in the roof of a large family. Book of Hindu Vedas is an expression of the universal principles that are closely related to the moral and spiritual value. The main thing in Hindu religious thought which contribute to a universal vision, that keselaran, tolerance, and prayer.

One of the greatest teachings is religious tolerance and universal harmony. The first days of the sage has many find that there are many ways to achieve an absolute reality in a way that is different also. The sage is called the book of Rg Veda: “Ekam sat viprah bahudha vadanti”, artiya “Truth is one, only the wise call it by many names”

Another major thing in Hinduism is the universality of prayer. Hindus pray for all beings, and of the particular prayer sung every day by millions of Hindus at the end of prayers or religious ceremonies, which reads: “May all people be happy; hopefully all healthy men always; hopefully all people prosper; hopefully no one who suffers. “
