Abstract

Mysticism gives a different nuance in defining the concept of God. Because this is related to the individual experience of those who reach the mystical consciousness, awareness of God in mysticism cannot be reached by reason or empirically but through the way of the senses in mind. This article attempts to explain the concept of God in Javanese mysticism and Advaita Vedanta Adi Śańkarācārya. The method used in this research is (library research). The results of this study are 1) the concept of God in Javanese mysticism (Sangkan Paraning Dumadi) and Advaita Vedanta (Brahman as the highest and absolute reality) is monistic theism, namely understanding God as one (transcendent monotheism). 2). In the view of Javanese mysticism, the universe is sourced from God and will return to God, while in Advaita Vedanta, apart from Brahman as an absolute reality, everything else, including nature, is an illusion of Maya. 3). To achieve God's consciousness, Javanese mysticism emphasizes doing Heneng, Hening, Henong, and Catur Lampah Laku, with the spiritual path to reach Manunggaling Kawula Gusti. Whereas in Advaita Vedanta, the union between Atman and Brahman can be achieved by removing the veils of Maya and avidya (ignorance).

Abstract

Humans as multidimensional beings, in their daily interactions with other people produce different impressions, views and conclusions from one another. Human actions or behavior in the form of social concern to provide selfless help to others have recently been felt to have faded or disappeared. Therefore, the teaching of bhakti marga yoga is actually a way or way of connecting with God through love, loving the country, loving individuals who deserve respect, loving fellow human beings, and loving the universe. That is the true truth contained in bhakti marga yoga, because this teaching immediately enjoys the fruits of religion, where love is the tool and love is the goal. This article aims to discuss and analyze various kinds of motivations for someone to provide help and their correlation with the teachings of their religion. Primarily the teachings of bhakti marga yoga in the Bhagavadgita.

Abstract

Spirit dolls are dolls that are intentionally made to be infiltrated by the spirits of people who have died. These dolls are then marketed by agents to be adopted and treated like living humans. The culture of adopting this spirit doll started in Thailand around 2014, which then spread to Indonesia. The spirit doll reminds us of the essence of every belief in the world, namely the belief in animism and dynamism. Hinduism has the concept of reviving the spirit of statues or buildings which is similar to filling the spirits of spirit dolls but essentially has a difference in the procedures and objectives. Spirit dolls are filled with the spirits of people who have died, while in Hinduism the ceremony is aimed at purifying statues and buildings to make them habitable and worthy of worshiping God. Hindus should not adopt the spirit doll because there is no study of Hindu law that legalizes the adoption, besides the purpose of this adoption is contradiction to the catur purusa artha.

Abstract

The topic of this paper is the phenomenon of sampradayas within Hinduism in Bali. Until now, very few social researchers have taken them into account. Therefore, I hope that I can disclose some important things related to social religious dynamics of the Balinese Hindu community since the appearance of sampradayas in the second half of the 20th century. The paper will explain the characteristics of three sampradayas, the response of Balinese Hindu to them, and their influence on the institution of Parisada and the institution of Desa Pekraman. The research is qualitative, using field observation, interviews with the respondents, participation in their activities, and collecting other important data. To understand the influence of sampradayas on the institution of Parisada and the institution of Desa Pekraman I collected information, which was reported and documented by the mass media. Then, I analyzed the data using the anthropology of religion’s theory. In the field  find the facts that the appearance of sampradayas have caused different perceptions among Balinese Hindus, which generally can be separated into three types: those who accept the sampradayas as a spiritual messenger; those who ignore the existence of sampradayas; and those who are suspicious about their appearance, that they would be harmful to the Balinese Hindu order, which is handed down from generation to generation. The culminating point of that rejection is that the government banned a sampradaya in 1984.

The purpose of writing this article is to provide understanding for Hindus to always be guided by the sacred Vedic literatures in this case is Sārasmuccaya. This study is a qualitative study using a theological approach regarding the nature and virtue of Hinduism in the sacred literature of Sārasamuccaya. In the Sārasamuccaya it is clearly stated that the simple virtue of man in this life is being able to do good.

Abstract

Sad Darsana are six Indian philosophical systems that are used in the rational logic of human thought to understand the duality of the elements of the universe, the world, and humans. so that dynamic realization occurs independent dualism that stands alone in the absence of interconnection of relations "the principle of consciousness is the true soul and the principle of materiality is the static element of matter and the unity of the two is the stage of human understanding of the entity and the eternality of matter. Eternity evidence of the pluralistic existence of the human soul in Jagadraya is essentially the same, the difference in existence from it is the compensation of life itself for the entity and the eternity of its substance. Excuses in their various forms are real maya, when the senses are shackled by the atomistic operations of objects outside of themselves that cause attachment and desire to dominate life itself, it is possible for God to descend into the world taking various forms of Avatar manifestations.

Abstract

Hinduism in Indonesia, especially that which was inherited in Bali, is a combination of ancestral beliefs (pre-Hindu) with Vedic teachings that came to the archipelago and blended harmoniously to form sivasiddhanta in Bali. This paper uses two combined theories, namely the theory of hermeneutics, and the theory of symbolic interactionism. The method in collecting data uses the listen-to method, which is combined with basic note-taking techniques. followed by using data analysis methods and techniques which include (1) Data Reduction, (2) Data Presentation, and (3) Verification. It ends with the method of presenting the results of data analysis using an informal method. The text of the Lontar Bhuana Sangkṣepa contains a dialogue between Bhaṭāra Siwa and Bhaṭāri Uma accompanied by Bhaṭāra Kumara. Lontar Bhuana Sangkṣepa consists of 128 Sanskrit Slokas with Old Javanese language, the contents of which explain how to achieve kalepasan with the teachings of Yoga. The concept of the 33 Vedic Gods or what is known as Ista Dewata is transformed into the social religious practice of Hinduism in Bali with the pangider-ider or Dewata Nawa Saga. then those are the forms of grounding the Vedic teachings that can be seen in the practice of Hindu religious life in Bali.

Kama is an eternal human matter. Every civilization traces it deeply. India in the context of Hindu civilization is one that is very massive in discussing it and it is stated in both literary works and reliefs of sacred buildings. The discussion not only concerns about sexual relations and their behavior, but tries to explore the secret spaces that are in it. When the existence of the kama leaves a side of the secret that is not able to be revealed, then appear the form of the Kama God who represents kama itself, so that the human mind is able to reach it. This work descriptively describes aspects of the theology of kama extracted from text sources. In the divinity map, Kama is a God or is called a Kama God. Then, the Siva-Parvati, Rama-Sita, and Radha-Krishna relations formed a cluster of theologies which were the object of worship in the religious life of the Hindu community. In the reality of life, kama is associated with the art of making love and important actions in terms of regeneration for the continuity of life.

Abstract

Harmony in religious life is an important phenomenon to note. Considering that several different religions have developed in Indonesia, it is necessary to apply the teachings of harmony theology. Community life under religious pluralism is not always harmonious. In daily life, several cases of disharmony of religious communities often occur. This disharmony occurs because of the lack of tolerance between religious people with one another. To bring back the attitude of tolerance, one needs to explore religious teachings. Thus, there is no longer a nerrow mind against Hindus. The theology of harmony in the Hindu perspective in this case seeks to provide teachings about the unity of mankind. In the Hindu perspective of harmony theology, every human being should respect his fellow human beings because they come from the same source, namely God. Harmony is a religious obligation and obedience to God, it is also a cultural guideline and customs. The synergy between the two has always greatly influenced people's perspectives and attitudes regarding various matters, including efforts to create a harmonious life in the midst of plurality.
