<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Ketika kita menyelusuri lorong-lorong sejarah Indonesia,
kita akan menemukan jejak yang tak terhapuskan dari masa lampau yang kaya dan
beragam. Salah satu jejak penting yang memberi warna pada kain sejarah
Indonesia adalah kedatangan agama Hindu. Kehadiran agama Hindu di Indonesia
tidak hanya memengaruhi bidang agama, tetapi juga seni, budaya, dan kehidupan
sosial masyarakat. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Peradaban bangsa Indonesia sangat banyak dipengaruhi oleh ajaran dan filosofi Hindu, baik yang ada pada kitab suci Weda maupun Bhagawat Gita serta buku-buku penting lainnya yang ditulis para cendekiawan Hindu dari masa ke masa. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Asal Usul Kedatangan Hindu</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Agama Hindu telah tiba di Nusantara jauh sebelum abad ke-1
Masehi, membawa bersamanya warisan kepercayaan dan tradisi dari tanah airnya di
India. Jejak awalnya dapat ditelusuri melalui artefak-artefak arkeologi yang
ditemukan di beberapa wilayah di Indonesia. Beberapa artefak ini termasuk
prasasti, relief, dan arca yang menunjukkan pengaruh Hindu di wilayah ini.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Peran Kerajaan Hindu dalam Penyebaran Agama</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Periode paling signifikan dalam sejarah kedatangan agama
Hindu di Indonesia adalah ketika berbagai kerajaan Hindu tumbuh dan berkembang
di kepulauan ini. Kerajaan-kerajaan seperti Kutai Martadipura, Tarumanegara,
Kalingga, dan Majapahit, menjadi tempat di mana agama Hindu berkembang dan
diresmikan sebagai agama negara. Selama masa ini, agama Hindu tidak hanya
menyebar di kalangan elite, tetapi juga di kalangan rakyat jelata, memengaruhi
kehidupan sehari-hari mereka, termasuk dalam sistem kepercayaan, tradisi, dan
ritual.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Penyebab Kedatangan Hindu</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Berbagai faktor memainkan peran dalam kedatangan dan
penerimaan agama Hindu di Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah perdagangan. Hubungan
perdagangan yang erat antara India dan kepulauan Indonesia memfasilitasi
pertukaran budaya dan agama. Selain itu, kedatangan para pedagang, pendeta, dan
cendekiawan Hindu ke wilayah ini juga membantu menyebarkan ajaran agama Hindu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Pengaruh Hindu dalam Seni dan Budaya</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Kedatangan agama Hindu tidak hanya meninggalkan jejak dalam
ranah agama, tetapi juga dalam seni dan budaya Indonesia. Seni relief candi,
arsitektur candi, wayang kulit, tari-tarian, dan sastra seperti Ramayana dan
Mahabharata, semuanya merupakan bukti konkret dari pengaruh Hindu yang kuat
dalam kebudayaan Indonesia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Kehadiran Hindu di Masa Kini</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Meskipun pengaruh agama Hindu mungkin telah mereda seiring
berjalannya waktu dan perubahan sosial-politik, namun masih banyak tempat suci
dan ritual keagamaan Hindu yang dijaga dan dirayakan hingga hari ini di
Indonesia. Tempat-tempat suci seperti Candi Prambanan, Pura Besakih, Pura Uluwatu dan banyak candi atau pura lainnya di berbagai daerah, tetap menjadi tempat ziarah dan pusat kegiatan keagamaan bagi umat Hindu di
Indonesia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Sejarah kedatangan agama Hindu di Indonesia adalah cermin
dari keragaman budaya dan toleransi agama yang telah menghiasi wajah Nusantara
selama ribuan tahun. Dengan melestarikan warisan ini, kita tidak hanya
menghargai akar sejarah bangsa kita, tetapi juga menghormati keragaman dan
pluralitas yang menjadi ciri khas Indonesia.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dengan menggali lebih dalam dan memahami sejarah ini, kita
dapat melihat betapa kaya dan beragamnya peradaban Indonesia yang telah
terbentuk dari perpaduan berbagai elemen budaya, termasuk kedatangan agama
Hindu yang telah memberi warna pada lanskap religius dan budaya kita.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> Ajaran dan inti Agama Hindu juga sangat banyak mempengaruhi seni budaya, adat istiadat dan sikap mental serta moral bangsa Indonesia terkait budi pekerti, menghormati orang tua dan para pemimpinnya, maupun dalam bidang lainnya, yang berkembang dari jaman dahulu sampai sekarang. </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8xLhWUhMixY" width="320" youtube-src-id="8xLhWUhMixY"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242861178226966016.post-81006080830910475102024-03-26T16:25:00.000-07:002024-03-26T16:30:09.384-07:00Karma Unveiled: Exploring the Depths of Cause and Effect in Hinduism and Buddhism<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> <b>Understanding Karma in Hinduism and Buddhism: A Journey of
Cause and Effect</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Introduction:</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Karma, a concept deeply embedded in the philosophies of
Hinduism and Buddhism, is often misunderstood or oversimplified in popular
culture. Originating from ancient Indian thought, karma is more than just a
system of reward and punishment; it is a fundamental principle governing the
cycle of life and death. In this article, we'll delve into the intricate
meanings of karma in both Hinduism and Buddhism, exploring its significance and
implications. Additionally, we'll unravel the concept of "instant karma"
and its implications in daily life.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Karma,
pivotal in Hinduism and Buddhism, embodies the profound law of cause and
effect. In Hindu philosophy, it dictates that every action, good or bad, shapes
one's destiny across lifetimes, guided by the principle of dharma. In Buddhism,
karma is intertwined with the impermanent nature of existence, emphasizing
intentions over actions and leading towards liberation from suffering. Both
traditions offer insights into the complexities of karma, illuminating its role
in shaping human experience. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFGRn1_qBEdqV_a-uxfcI325RQ9prAQuPCKsDvgYlViXuwp-URDVH26mvgzqgq7BM2r12liyhuCioMOWHadvhax7DGk5khsgCH7ZSfvV7dCsSZocsdW9JVH-Kfap6XeKzEtqMzwDuVuMfaU5sptHlo4OlzMLqBwyCm1MGYoQi5UcAQAmjiHYXivBv9ZLs/s1100/what-is-karma.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="673" data-original-width="1100" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFGRn1_qBEdqV_a-uxfcI325RQ9prAQuPCKsDvgYlViXuwp-URDVH26mvgzqgq7BM2r12liyhuCioMOWHadvhax7DGk5khsgCH7ZSfvV7dCsSZocsdW9JVH-Kfap6XeKzEtqMzwDuVuMfaU5sptHlo4OlzMLqBwyCm1MGYoQi5UcAQAmjiHYXivBv9ZLs/s320/what-is-karma.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b><a href="https://realhappiness.org/blog/what-is-karma.php"><i><span style="font-family: arial;">Good Karma VS Bad Karma (Image: realhappiness.org)</span></i></a></b></span></div><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Karma in Hinduism:</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In Hinduism, karma is a foundational concept that
underscores the law of cause and effect. According to Hindu belief, every
action, whether physical, verbal, or mental, leaves an imprint on the soul.
These imprints, known as samskaras, determine the course of one's life and
subsequent rebirths. The Bhagavad Gita, a revered scripture in Hinduism,
elucidates the complexities of karma through the teachings of Lord Krishna to
Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Central to Hindu understanding is the idea of dharma, or
duty, which guides individuals in performing actions aligned with righteousness
and moral law. Good karma (punya) is accrued by fulfilling one's dharma and
performing selfless acts, while bad karma (papa) results from actions that
deviate from moral conduct. The consequences of karma may not manifest
immediately but can influence future experiences and lifetimes in the cycle of
samsara (rebirth).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Karma in Buddhism:</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In Buddhism, karma is similarly understood as the law of
cause and effect, yet it diverges from Hinduism in some aspects. While both
traditions acknowledge the role of actions in shaping one's destiny, Buddhism
emphasizes the impermanent and interdependent nature of existence. The concept
of anatta (non-self) in Buddhism suggests that there is no eternal soul or
self-entity that undergoes rebirth. Instead, karma is seen as a process that
perpetuates the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Buddhism teaches that karma is not predetermined fate but
rather a conditioned response to volitional actions (kamma). The intention
behind an action, known as cetana, carries greater weight than the action
itself. Therefore, cultivating wholesome intentions leads to positive karma,
while unwholesome intentions result in negative karma. The ultimate goal in
Buddhism is to transcend the cycle of karma and attain liberation (nirvana)
from suffering.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Instant Karma:</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">"Instant karma" is a colloquial term that refers
to the swift consequences or effects of one's actions, often occurring in the
same lifetime. While traditional views of karma suggest that its effects may
not be immediately apparent, the concept of instant karma highlights the
interconnectedness of actions and their repercussions. In essence, it
underscores the idea that every action, whether positive or negative, carries
inherent consequences that can manifest swiftly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">In both Hinduism and Buddhism, the concept of instant karma
serves as a reminder of the moral responsibility inherent in every action. It
suggests that ethical conduct and mindfulness are essential not only for future
well-being but also for immediate peace and harmony in one's life and
surroundings.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><b style="font-family: arial;">Conclusion:</b></p>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Karma, as elucidated in Hinduism and Buddhism,
transcends mere notions of reward and punishment, encompassing the intricate
web of cause and effect that shapes human existence. It invites individuals to
reflect on their actions, intentions, and their impact on themselves and
others. Whether through the lens of dharma in Hinduism or the path to
liberation in Buddhism, karma serves as a guiding principle for leading a life
of virtue, compassion, and wisdom. In the tapestry of existence, the threads of
karma weave together the past, present, and future, offering profound insights
into the nature of reality and the journey toward spiritual awakening.</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242861178226966016.post-50567624332127052052024-03-25T17:03:00.000-07:002024-03-25T17:03:56.503-07:00Melintasi Benua dan Kultur: Perbedaan Unik dalam Praktik Agama Hindu di India dan Bali, Indonesia <p> <span style="font-family: arial;">Sebagian dari penduduk Indonesia adalah pemeluk Agama Hindu, selain Katolik, Islam, Buddha, Kristen dan Khong Hu Chu. Mayoritas pemeluk Agama Hindu ada di Pulau Bali. Meskipun agama Hindu berasal dari India, namun ada perbedaan unik dalam ritual, upacara serta tradisi, khususnya di Bali. </span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Agama Hindu memiliki pengikut yang tersebar di berbagai
negara di seluruh dunia, tetapi perbedaan dalam praktik dan ritual dapat sangat
mencolok terutama antara India, sebagai tempat kelahiran agama Hindu, dan Bali,
Indonesia, yang memiliki mayoritas penduduk Hindu di negara mayoritas Muslim.
Berikut adalah perbedaan utama dalam tradisi dan ritual agama Hindu di kedua
tempat tersebut, serta penjelasan mengenai penyebab perbedaan tersebut.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i><b>Tradisi dan Ritual Agama Hindu di India:</b></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mangku dan Brahmana: Di India, tradisi agama Hindu dipandu
oleh kasta Brahmana dan terkait peran yang mereka miliki dalam upacara
keagamaan. Ritual dipimpin oleh pendeta yang telah terlatih dan dianggap
memiliki pengetahuan spiritual yang mendalam.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i><b>Kuil dan Mandir: </b></i>India memiliki banyak kuil dan tempat suci
yang menjadi pusat aktivitas keagamaan. Upacara keagamaan yang dilakukan di
sana melibatkan pemujaan berbagai dewa dan dewi, seperti Shiva, Vishnu, dan
Durga.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i><b>Yajna dan Puja</b></i>: Yajna, atau ritual pengorbanan, sering kali
dilakukan dalam upacara agama Hindu di India. Selain itu, puja, atau pemujaan
kepada dewa dengan mempersembahkan bunga, buah, dan makanan, juga merupakan
bagian penting dari praktik keagamaan.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><b>Tradisi dan Ritual Agama Hindu di Bali, Indonesia:</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><b>Ketuturan dan Pemangku</b></i>: Di Bali, peran pemangku atau pendeta
sangat penting dalam menjaga tradisi agama Hindu. Mereka bertanggung jawab atas
pelaksanaan ritual keagamaan di desa-desa Bali.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i><b>Pura dan Upacara Odalan</b></i>: Pura, atau kuil Hindu, merupakan
pusat kegiatan keagamaan di Bali. Setiap pura memiliki upacara Odalan yang
dilakukan setiap tahun untuk memperingati hari jadi pura tersebut.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i><b>Ngaben dan Upacara Kematian</b></i>: Ngaben, atau upacara kremasi,
adalah ritual penting dalam agama Hindu di Bali. Ini merupakan prosesi yang
dianggap sangat sakral untuk melepaskan roh orang yang telah meninggal.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><b>Penyebab Perbedaan:</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><b>Konteks Budaya:</b></i> Perbedaan dalam tradisi dan ritual agama
Hindu di India dan Bali sebagian besar dipengaruhi oleh konteks budaya dan
sejarah masing-masing tempat. India memiliki sejarah panjang dan kompleks
sebagai tempat kelahiran agama Hindu, sementara Bali memiliki keunikan budaya
dan tradisi sendiri yang memengaruhi pelaksanaan agama Hindu di sana.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i><b>Interaksi dengan Agama Lain</b></i>: Di India, agama Hindu sering
kali berinteraksi dengan agama lain seperti Jainisme, Sikhisme, dan Buddhisme,
yang dapat memengaruhi praktik keagamaan. Di Bali, Islam yang dominan di
Indonesia juga memengaruhi konteks sosial dan keagamaan, meskipun Hinduisme
tetap menjadi agama mayoritas di pulau tersebut.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i><b>Adaptasi Lokal:</b></i> Agama Hindu di Bali telah mengalami adaptasi
lokal yang kuat, mengintegrasikan unsur-unsur budaya Bali yang khas ke dalam
praktik keagamaan Hindu. Hal ini membedakannya dari praktik Hindu di India yang
mungkin lebih terpengaruh oleh tradisi dan ajaran asli agama tersebut.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Perbedaan dalam tradisi dan ritual agama Hindu di India dan
Bali mencerminkan kompleksitas dan dinamika agama Hindu yang beradaptasi dengan
konteks budaya dan sejarah setempat. Meskipun memiliki dasar yang sama,
perbedaan ini menunjukkan kekayaan dan keragaman dalam praktik keagamaan Hindu
di berbagai belahan dunia.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mari kita saksikan salah satu tradisi Hindu di Bali dan daerah lainnya di Indonesia, yaitu pertunjukan tarian suci atau sakral pada saat ada upacara dan ritual Hindu. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1AhzE4qVw3Q" width="320" youtube-src-id="1AhzE4qVw3Q"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p>

Millennial dan Z. "Menemukan Harmoni dalam Kehidupan Modern"</b></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> Dalam agama Hindu, ada banyak sloka, cerita dan ajaran yang memberikan inspirasi dan motivasi tentang kehidupan manusia, khususnya yang dikaitkan dengan sikap dan perilaku manusia agar bisa harmonis atau selaras dengan alam semesta, Sang Maha Pencipta dan sesama manusia. </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Tri Kaya Parisudha adalah salah satunya, yang sangat menarik diperhatikan, khususnya dalam praktek ajaran Hindu di Pulau Bali. </span></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Tri Kaya Parisudha adalah konsep etika atau tindakan moral
dalam Agama Hindu, khususnya dalam ajaran agama Hindu Bali. Dalam bahasa
Sanskerta, "Tri" berarti tiga, "Kaya" berarti tubuh, dan
"Parisudha" berarti kesucian atau kemurnian. Jadi secara harfiah, Tri
Kaya Parisudha dapat diterjemahkan sebagai "kesucian tiga tubuh".
Konsep ini mengacu pada tiga aspek kesucian atau pemurnian yang harus dimiliki
oleh seorang Hindu dalam menjalani kehidupan sehari-hari.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxUlfJK-ngmkyfMHoTcfIyOW-a4OZ_aT8eJi4Od6l5u9o_8oCN2aFiCoz255r8Cou9w90i9uwWKR5bzbfW5ovBUf_Pth7D6uv8m_U-IdpqNJwC28jiRhzU5CsKxHOfiWMlHgz539GGBAO9oLDKrTGY1UYGSBt4ctQIcIRa13_LG_kxwi9M-QlXKOGWK-s/s3888/four-tourist-friends-walking-path.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="3888" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxUlfJK-ngmkyfMHoTcfIyOW-a4OZ_aT8eJi4Od6l5u9o_8oCN2aFiCoz255r8Cou9w90i9uwWKR5bzbfW5ovBUf_Pth7D6uv8m_U-IdpqNJwC28jiRhzU5CsKxHOfiWMlHgz539GGBAO9oLDKrTGY1UYGSBt4ctQIcIRa13_LG_kxwi9M-QlXKOGWK-s/s320/four-tourist-friends-walking-path.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Berikut adalah penjelasan mengenai ketiga aspek Tri Kaya
Parisudha beserta dampaknya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari menurut Agama Hindu:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Trikaya Parisevana (Pemurnian Tindakan)</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ini mengacu pada pemurnian perilaku dan tindakan seseorang.
Dalam konteks ini, seorang Hindu diharapkan untuk bertindak dengan etika dan
moralitas yang tinggi, menjauhi segala bentuk tindakan yang tidak bermoral atau
melanggar ajaran agama Hindu. Misalnya, menghindari kebohongan, mencuri, atau
bertindak dengan niat yang jahat.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dampaknya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari adalah bahwa seorang
individu akan lebih berfokus pada tindakan yang baik dan positif, memastikan
bahwa setiap tindakan yang diambil tidak hanya menguntungkan dirinya sendiri
tetapi juga orang lain di sekitarnya. Ini dapat menciptakan harmoni dalam
hubungan antarindividu dan masyarakat.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Trikaya Parisuddha (Pemurnian Pikiran)</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ini mengacu pada pemurnian pikiran atau kesucian mental.
Seorang Hindu diharapkan untuk menjaga pikirannya tetap jernih dari
pikiran-pikiran negatif seperti kemarahan, iri hati, atau kebencian.
Sebaliknya, pikiran harus diarahkan pada hal-hal yang positif, seperti cinta
kasih, kebaikan, dan kedamaian.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dampaknya adalah bahwa individu akan lebih mampu mengatasi
stres dan konflik dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Dengan pikiran yang jernih dan
tenang, seseorang dapat membuat keputusan yang lebih baik dan bertindak dengan
bijaksana dalam situasi apapun.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Trikaya Prasangga (Pemurnian Ucapanku)</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ini mengacu pada pemurnian perkataan atau ucapan seseorang.
Seorang Hindu diharapkan untuk berbicara dengan cara yang sopan, jujur, dan
menghindari kata-kata yang dapat menyakiti perasaan orang lain. Penting untuk
berbicara secara bijaksana dan memilih kata-kata dengan hati-hati.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dampaknya adalah menciptakan lingkungan yang positif di
sekitar individu. Dengan berbicara secara bijaksana dan penuh dengan empati,
seseorang dapat membangun hubungan yang kuat dengan orang lain dan mencegah
konflik yang tidak perlu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dengan menerapkan Tri Kaya Parisudha dalam kehidupan
sehari-hari, seorang individu diharapkan dapat mencapai kesucian atau pemurnian
dalam tindakan, pikiran, dan ucapannya. Hal ini tidak hanya akan membawa
manfaat bagi dirinya sendiri tetapi juga bagi masyarakat di sekitarnya,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Reinkarnasi dalam Agama Hindu</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dalam agama Hindu, reinkarnasi dikenal dengan istilah
samsara. Samsara adalah sebuah siklus kehidupan yang berulang-ulang, di mana
jiwa (atman) akan terlahir kembali dalam bentuk yang berbeda-beda, tergantung
pada karma yang dilakukannya pada kehidupan sebelumnya.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Karma adalah hukum sebab akibat yang berlaku di dunia ini.
Setiap perbuatan yang dilakukan manusia, baik yang baik maupun yang buruk, akan
menghasilkan karma. Karma yang baik akan membawa kebahagiaan, sedangkan karma
yang buruk akan membawa penderitaan.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Setiap jiwa yang terlahir kembali akan membawa karma dari
kehidupan sebelumnya. Karma inilah yang akan menentukan bentuk kehidupan yang
akan dijalaninya di masa depan. Jika jiwa tersebut telah melakukan banyak karma
baik, maka ia akan terlahir kembali dalam bentuk yang lebih baik, seperti
manusia, dewa, atau makhluk suci lainnya. Sebaliknya, jika jiwa tersebut telah
melakukan banyak karma buruk, maka ia akan terlahir kembali dalam bentuk yang
lebih rendah, seperti hewan, tumbuhan, atau bahkan makhluk halus.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Tujuan akhir dari kehidupan manusia dalam agama Hindu adalah
untuk mencapai moksa, atau kebebasan dari samsara. Moksa dapat dicapai dengan
cara melepaskan diri dari keterikatan pada duniawi dan mencapai kesadaran akan
Brahman, atau realitas tertinggi.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p></p>

samsara. Namun, konsep samsara dalam agama Buddha sedikit berbeda dengan konsep
samsara dalam agama Hindu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dalam agama Buddha, samsara tidak hanya terbatas pada
kehidupan manusia, tetapi juga mencakup semua makhluk hidup yang ada di dunia
ini. Semua makhluk hidup, baik yang bernyawa maupun yang tidak bernyawa,
semuanya mengalami siklus kelahiran, kematian, dan kelahiran kembali.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ajaran reinkarnasi dalam agama Buddha didasarkan pada hukum
sebab akibat yang saling bergantungan, atau paticcasamuppada. Paticcasamuppada
adalah sebuah hukum yang menyatakan bahwa segala sesuatu yang ada di dunia ini
saling berhubungan dan saling bergantungan.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Kehidupan ini adalah hasil dari sebab-sebab yang telah
terjadi di masa lalu. Karma yang dilakukan oleh makhluk hidup di masa lalu akan
menentukan kehidupannya di masa depan.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: arial;">Tujuan akhir dari kehidupan manusia dalam agama Buddha
adalah untuk mencapai Nirvana, atau kebebasan dari samsara. Nirvana dapat
dicapai dengan cara melepaskan diri dari keterikatan pada duniawi dan mencapai
pencerahan.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>Gayatri Mantram berasal dari Rigveda, salah satu kitab suci
tertua dalam tradisi Hindu. Mantra ini ditemukan di dalam Rigveda Mandala 3.26.
Namun, makna dan kekuatan mantra ini tidak terbatas pada asal-usulnya. Gayatri
Mantram terdiri dari tiga bagian, yang masing-masing mewakili aspek tertentu
dari spiritualitas dan kehidupan sehari-hari.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Makna Spiritual</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>Dalam konteks spiritualitas, Gayatri Mantram dianggap
sebagai doa kepada Dewi Gayatri, manifestasi dari Dewi Saraswati yang dihormati
sebagai sumber pengetahuan dan kebijaksanaan. Kata-kata mantram mengajarkan
pemuja untuk memohon kebijaksanaan, pencerahan, dan petunjuk dari Tuhan.
Pengulangan mantram ini diyakini dapat membersihkan pikiran, membuka mata
batin, dan mendekatkan diri pada dimensi spiritual yang lebih tinggi.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i>Kewajiban Kehidupan Sehari-hari</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>Dari segi kehidupan sehari-hari, Gayatri Mantram memberikan
pedoman etika dan moral bagi penganut agama Hindu. Frasa "Tat Savitur
Varenyam" mengajarkan bahwa kita harus menghormati dan memuja Tuhan yang
bijaksana dan penuh cahaya. Ini merangsang kewajiban untuk mengikuti jalan
kebijaksanaan dan kebenaran dalam tindakan sehari-hari.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i><b>"Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi"</b></i> mengingatkan akan
kebutuhan untuk bersinar seperti matahari yang memberikan cahaya kepada semua
tanpa membedakan. Ini mengajarkan nilai-nilai keadilan, persamaan, dan kebaikan
dalam perlakuan terhadap sesama. Dengan demikian, mantra ini mengarahkan
penganutnya untuk hidup dengan integritas moral dan membangun masyarakat yang
adil.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p><i>Pencerahan dan Keberlanjutan</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>Konsep pencerahan dalam Gayatri Mantram tercermin melalui
frasa <i><b>"Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat," </b></i>yang berarti "semoga Dia
memandu pikiran-pikiran kita." Mantram ini mengajarkan bahwa pencapaian
spiritual tidak hanya melibatkan pengetahuan, tetapi juga penerapan pengetahuan
tersebut dalam tindakan positif. Pemuja diharapkan untuk mencapai pencerahan
pribadi dan memandu orang lain menuju cahaya pengetahuan.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>Secara keseluruhan, Gayatri Mantram bukan hanya serangkaian
kata-kata yang diucapkan, tetapi juga sebuah panduan hidup bagi penganut agama
Hindu. Mantra ini merangkum esensi spiritualitas dan nilai-nilai etika yang
harus dihayati dalam setiap aspek kehidupan sehari-hari. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dengan merenungkan dan
mengamalkan makna dari setiap kata dalam Gayatri Mantram, penganut Hindu
diharapkan dapat mencapai pencerahan dan memimpin kehidupan yang penuh makna
serta memberikan kontribusi positif kepada masyarakat.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p>

Hari raya ini ditetapkan sebagai hari raya keagamaan oleh pemerintah Indonesia pada tahun 1983. Yang menarik adalah parade Ogoh-ogoh yang tampil sehari sebelum Hari Raya Nyepi. Namun, tidak banyak yang tahu sejarah dan makna Ogoh-ogoh terkait dengan Tahun Baru Saka. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Bahwa Hari Raya Nyepi juga memiliki makna filosofis yang sangat penting bagi umat Hindu. Hari ini dipercaya sebagai hari keheningan dan ketenangan untuk membersihkan diri dari segala dosa dan kesalahan, sehingga menjadi awal tahun yang baru yang diisi dengan kebaikan, kedamaian, dan kesucian.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Tahun Baru Saka atau Saka New Year didasarkan pada penanggalan Saka yang berasal dari India, yang dimulai pada tahun 78 Masehi. Penanggalan Saka ini juga digunakan sebagai penanggalan resmi di Indonesia selain penanggalan Masehi.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Berdasarkan catatan sejarah Hindu, Hari Raya Nyepi awalnya merupakan tradisi Hindu Bali yang dirayakan sebagai suatu bentuk peringatan terhadap dewa-dewa dalam mitologi Hindu. Pada hari itu, umat Hindu di Bali melakukan beberapa ritual seperti Melasti, Tawur Kesanga, dan Ngembak Geni.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Melasti adalah ritual membersihkan diri yang dilakukan di pantai untuk mempersembahkan sesajen kepada dewa-dewa laut. Sedangkan Tawur Kesanga adalah ritual pengorbanan hewan untuk membersihkan alam semesta dari kejahatan. Sedangkan Ngembak Geni adalah ritual membakar api untuk membersihkan diri dan menebus dosa.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Sesudah melakukan ritual-ritual tersebut, umat Hindu di Bali dan daerah lainnya di Indonesia, merayakan Hari Raya Nyepi dengan cara meditasi, menjaga diri dari makan, minum, dan aktivitas apapun, serta mematikan lampu dan suara bising. Karena suasana yang hening, Hari Raya Nyepi bisa disebut sebagai Silent Day atau Seclusion Day. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh18g2f6AmCtmQFf1XvP-nDq_9S1XLusjtntqKW-Y5KyOONNrjFjtwBj9LEGQMAUBifkhSSnvLS-VXWdTUzmZSbe__Nw6bp-TF5GWamonj70kTrY5naeiBHJbvJyOF4cLdb1AM-wy7ScapAMC8Y0baxL37R8CWfJRDqzGfOGNr9_OZfg0P6Rq3MYv8L/s696/balipostcom_gibran-dan-jan-enthes-ikuti-kirab-nyepi-di-solo_01-696x464.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="464" data-original-width="696" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh18g2f6AmCtmQFf1XvP-nDq_9S1XLusjtntqKW-Y5KyOONNrjFjtwBj9LEGQMAUBifkhSSnvLS-VXWdTUzmZSbe__Nw6bp-TF5GWamonj70kTrY5naeiBHJbvJyOF4cLdb1AM-wy7ScapAMC8Y0baxL37R8CWfJRDqzGfOGNr9_OZfg0P6Rq3MYv8L/s320/balipostcom_gibran-dan-jan-enthes-ikuti-kirab-nyepi-di-solo_01-696x464.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-family: arial;">Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Walikota Solo dan putraya, Jan Ethes dengan busana Adat Bali Madya turut hadir pada parade Ogoh-Ogoh di Solo, Maret 2023 (Image: balipost.com)</span></i></b></div></b><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Seiring berjalannya waktu, Hari Raya Nyepi akhirnya menjadi hari raya nasional yang dirayakan oleh Umat Hindu di Indonesia. Rangkaian upacara dan ritual Hari Raya Nyepi juga telah menjadi objek pariwisata yang menarik bagi wisatawan asing yang ingin mengenal lebih dalam tentang budaya Bali dan Hindu, terutama karena ada parade Ogoh-ogoh.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Untuk pertama kalinya pada tahun 2023, Kota Solo juga ikut memeriahkan rangkaian Hari Raya Nyepi dengan parade Ogoh-ogoh seperti di Jakarta dan kota-kota lainnya di Indonesia. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Apa kaitan ogoh-ogoh dengan hari raya nyepi?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ogoh-ogoh adalah patung raksasa yang dibuat dari anyaman bambu dan kertas berwarna-warni, yang biasanya dipamerkan dan diarak pada malam sebelum Hari Raya Nyepi di Bali. Ogoh-ogoh juga merupakan bagian penting dari tradisi Hari Raya Nyepi di Bali.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ogoh-ogoh biasanya digambarkan sebagai sosok-sosok mitologi Hindu atau makhluk mitos, seperti raksasa atau monster. Selain itu, ogoh-ogoh juga sering dihiasi dengan ornamen-ornamen yang indah dan dipasang lampu-lampu yang membuatnya semakin memukau.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Menurut catatan sejarah, tradisi ogoh-ogoh di Bali dimulai pada tahun 1980-an sebagai bentuk kegiatan kreatifitas dan semangat gotong royong masyarakat Bali dalam mempersiapkan Hari Raya Nyepi. Saat ini, ogoh-ogoh dibuat di desa-desa di seluruh Bali dan diarak di jalan-jalan sekitar desa, bahkan di kota-kota, baik di Bali dan daerah lainnya di Indonesia.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Pada malam sebelum Hari Raya Nyepi, ogoh-ogoh diarak oleh para pemuda setempat di sekitar desa sambil menari dan menggoyang-goyangkan patung raksasa tersebut. Kemudian, ogoh-ogoh akan dibakar sebagai simbol dari penolakan terhadap kejahatan, agar kejahatan tersebut tidak menghinggapi masyarakat Bali.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dalam tradisi Hindu dan menurut filosofinya, ogoh-ogoh juga melambangkan roh-roh jahat atau kejahatan yang harus diusir dari kehidupan manusia, sehingga manusia dapat hidup dalam kehidupan yang harmonis dan penuh kedamaian. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Oleh sebab itu, ogoh-ogoh sangat erat kaitannya dengan makna filosofis Hari Raya Nyepi, yaitu membersihkan diri dari kejahatan dan kegelapan, sehingga dapat memulai tahun baru dengan kesucian dan kedamaian.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Mari kita simak parade Ogoh-ogoh di Car Free Day Jakarta, Maret 2023, bersamaan dengan Pawai Nusantara dalam rangka Hari Raya Nyepi.

Bahwa Hukum Karma merupakan konsep penting dalam agama Hindu yang menjelaskan bahwa setiap tindakan manusia akan memiliki akibat yang sesuai dengan tindakan atau perbuatan yang dilakukan seseorang. Dalam praktek agama Hindu di Bali, Hukum Karma popular dengan sebutan Karma Phala. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Bawha konsep Hukum Karma memiliki dua dimensi, yaitu dalam kaitannya dengan kehidupan saat ini dan reinkarnasi.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><b>Dalam kaitannya dengan kehidupan saat ini</b></i>, Hukum Karma menjelaskan bahwa setiap tindakan manusia akan memberikan hasil yang sesuai dengan tindakan tersebut. Dalam praktiknya, hal ini dapat diartikan sebagai bahwa setiap keputusan atau tindakan yang dilakukan saat ini akan mempengaruhi kondisi dan pengalaman kehidupan seseorang di masa depan. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Misalnya, seseorang yang bekerja keras dan berbuat baik kepada orang lain pada saat ini dapat menghasilkan kesuksesan, kesejahteraan, dan kebahagiaan di masa depan, sedangkan seseorang yang malas dan melakukan tindakan buruk dapat menghasilkan kesulitan, kesengsaraan, dan kesedihan di masa depan.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><b>Sedangkan kalau kaitannya dengan reinkarnasi,</b></i> Hukum Karma juga menjelaskan bahwa setiap tindakan manusia akan mempengaruhi kelahiran kembali atau reinkarnasi seseorang di kehidupan selanjutnya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dalam ajaran agama Hindu, setiap manusia diyakini akan mengalami proses reinkarnasi setelah kematian, dan akibat dari tindakan di kehidupan sebelumnya akan membentuk kondisi kehidupan di kehidupan selanjutnya. Oleh karena itu, setiap tindakan manusia sangat penting dan harus dilakukan dengan baik untuk menghasilkan dampak yang positif dalam kehidupan selanjutnya.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5skHE2ny_6ZEX8df1Hpgh9Bp7teeo8hSeeyU9aFYpIJ50dx6oWWyviyyZDjX3ZmUiLoFkQqXjJSWqioJAu-fKl6F8ilA_kqPb-bw_DKtSmfoyHPRVcIBJA3DrEk938VZCsP8DLq6vGRFK3qCE61fB_7G4tFoavn9DLQsAQAZnaTi1PSwxF9zSSRN6/s1024/Hukum%20Karma%20menurut%20agama%20Hindu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5skHE2ny_6ZEX8df1Hpgh9Bp7teeo8hSeeyU9aFYpIJ50dx6oWWyviyyZDjX3ZmUiLoFkQqXjJSWqioJAu-fKl6F8ilA_kqPb-bw_DKtSmfoyHPRVcIBJA3DrEk938VZCsP8DLq6vGRFK3qCE61fB_7G4tFoavn9DLQsAQAZnaTi1PSwxF9zSSRN6/s320/Hukum%20Karma%20menurut%20agama%20Hindu.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><a href="https://hindujogja.com/mutiara-weda-karma-wesana-sang-penentu-dalam-reinkarnasi/">Hukum Karma adalah konsep yang sangat penting dalam ajaran Agama Hindu (Image: hindujogja.com)</a></b></i></div></i><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dalam praktiknya, ajaran Hukum Karma menjadi dasar bagi banyak praktik spiritual Hindu, termasuk meditasi, yoga, dan puja (semacam ritual keagamaan). Konsep ini juga membentuk landasan etika dan emoral yang sangat kuat dalam budaya Hindu, dengan menekankan pentingnya berbuat baik dan menghindari tindakan buruk untuk mencapai kebahagiaan dan keberhasilan dalam hidup, baik di kehidupan saat ini maupun di kehidupan selanjutnya.</span></p><p><i><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Apa yang dimaksud dengan Karma Instan atau Instant Karma?</span></b></i></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Sementara itu istilah instant karma atau "karma instan" sebenarnya tidak termasuk dalam terminologi resmi ajaran agama Hindu. Istilah instant karma sangat terkenal di Amerika Serikat. Namun, istilah tersebut digunakan secara populer untuk menggambarkan konsep bahwa akibat dari tindakan atau perbuatan dapat terjadi dengan cepat atau seketika. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Konsep karma instan ini melihat bahwa tidak semua akibat dari tindakan manusia hanya terjadi pada masa depan atau di kehidupan selanjutnya, melainkan juga bisa terjadi dalam waktu yang sangat singkat, bahkan dalam waktu yang sama ketika perbuatan tersebut dilakukan. Ini ibarat makan cabai, yang rasa pedasnya langsung dapat dirasakan dalam waktu cepat dan singkat. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Contoh sederhana dari "karma instan" dapat dilihat dalam tindakan membantu orang lain. Ketika seseorang memberikan bantuan kepada orang lain, ia dapat merasakan perasaan senang atau kebahagiaan yang langsung, sebagai akibat dari tindakan baik yang dilakukannya. Begitu pula sebaliknya, ketika seseorang melakukan tindakan buruk atau kejam, ia dapat merasakan rasa bersalah, malu, atau marah secara langsung sebagai akibat dari tindakan tersebut. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ada juga yang mengalami akibat dari karma instan ini, akibat yang sangat baik (karena telah berbuat baik) - bisa juga seseorang dalam waktu tidak terlalu lama akan menerima akibat buruk dari perbuatan jahat yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Namun, perlu diingat dan dicermati bahwa dalam ajaran agama Hindu, konsep Hukum Karma tetap berlaku, yaitu bahwa setiap tindakan manusia akan memberikan hasil yang sesuai dengan tindakan tersebut. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Karma instan mungkin dapat memberikan dampak yang langsung dan terasa, tetapi hal itu tidak mengubah kenyataan bahwa setiap tindakan manusia akan memiliki akibat yang bertahan lama dan dapat memengaruhi kehidupan manusia pada masa depan, baik di kehidupan saat ini maupun di kehidupan selanjutnya.</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242861178226966016.post-32092943404173021052023-03-01T00:52:00.004-08:002023-03-01T00:52:47.644-08:00Differences in the Application of Hindu Religion and Philosophy between Bali and India<p> <span style="font-family: arial;">One of the oldest religions in the world, Hinduism has a sizable following everywhere. Nonetheless, there are notable distinctions between how Hinduism is practiced in India and Bali.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">In Bali, native Balinese beliefs have a significant influence on Hinduism, although in India, Hinduism is more affected by greater Hindu philosophy and theology. Balinese rituals and rites, such as religious observances for regional Balinese deities, reflect the influence of Balinese beliefs.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx2q-JhKvuvW8W0PriQ1VjuWST9e1ACpDQ9iZILA-FmFLdJ_OtEDZX1IPosm5TMl3h_Xc_IYHocvZIi4h3bvAuxdECWFUiRh9pVd-XfMkeeeEhTxYARUAOJba1D7lif6MAb1aujpNYK4f5ZEymXXKfXJmsab-WevURhCHhV91OIGlFxh4q0Od8thSR/s700/Pura%20Besakih%20the%20Hindu%20temple%20in%20Bali%20Indonesia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="700" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx2q-JhKvuvW8W0PriQ1VjuWST9e1ACpDQ9iZILA-FmFLdJ_OtEDZX1IPosm5TMl3h_Xc_IYHocvZIi4h3bvAuxdECWFUiRh9pVd-XfMkeeeEhTxYARUAOJba1D7lif6MAb1aujpNYK4f5ZEymXXKfXJmsab-WevURhCHhV91OIGlFxh4q0Od8thSR/s320/Pura%20Besakih%20the%20Hindu%20temple%20in%20Bali%20Indonesia.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://oleholehagungbali.com/blog/9-mengenal-pura-besakih-lebih-dalam-agar-mengetahui-sejarahnya" target="_blank">Pura Besakih, the largest Hindu Temple in Bali (Image: oleholehagungbali.com)</a></span></b></i></div></i><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Second, compared to India, Bali places a lot more value on family. In Balinese society, the family is seen as the smallest unit, and familial ties are highly valued. Balinese traditions that govern birth, marriage, and funeral rites reflect this. Hinduism in India focuses more emphasis on individual spiritual success, even if family is highly valued there.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Third, compared to India, Bali places a greater focus on art and aesthetics. Bali is renowned for its exquisite dance and sculpture, and there are numerous festivals held all year long to honor the arts. While in India, aesthetics and the arts are typically connected to religious pursuits like murti worship.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Fourth, Balinese Hinduism places a high importance on upholding cultural norms and customs. Hinduism has also seen significant changes in India as a result of Western influences and modernisation. In Bali, traditional ceremonial and religious customs are still closely guarded and cherished as an integral component of Balinese identity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, despite the fact that both Bali and India practice Hinduism, there are variations between their respective religions. Hinduism and the native Balinese religion are intermingled in Bali, where there are numerous distinctive religious customs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">In contrast, Hinduism in India places a greater emphasis on teachings and a worldview that are more inclusive.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Generally, Hinduism is practiced very differently in Bali and India.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Despite the fact that they both worship the same religion, these distinctions are due to a variety of factors, including local beliefs, a focus on family and the arts, the preservation of enduring traditions and cultural values, and variations in religious practices.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, there are certain variations between how Hinduism is practiced in Bali and India. Advaita Vedanta, which asserts that everything is one and cannot be distinguished, is the most well-known Hindu philosophy in India. In contrast, Tri Hita Karana, which promotes harmony between people and nature as well as with God, is more prominent in Bali.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Second, Hinduism is applied in everyday life in India and is recognized as a component of that country's national identity, but in Bali, Hinduism has a significant impact on local social and cultural life and is frequently seen as a component of the Balinese way of life (Balinese cultural identity).</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_lfq2L_pbvZOXsofktDXXkyKBE5HSyUtkNtqyvqRkRGM6JjJav9WHfH-IHCWDqLWcyXtcVynYNzg6RqEb6UrMeLgL4B05ab_mftasGk6sB-cRYY9QnovZeIfPCFT6qME7W5AKsxMVaX050HJ_C2RrZMVW3V8Pb0P48-F7nhsKaF_Sman52y-_IDw5/s1199/Hindu-Temples-Indian-Temples-Hindu-Mandir-TemplePedia%20india.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="604" data-original-width="1199" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_lfq2L_pbvZOXsofktDXXkyKBE5HSyUtkNtqyvqRkRGM6JjJav9WHfH-IHCWDqLWcyXtcVynYNzg6RqEb6UrMeLgL4B05ab_mftasGk6sB-cRYY9QnovZeIfPCFT6qME7W5AKsxMVaX050HJ_C2RrZMVW3V8Pb0P48-F7nhsKaF_Sman52y-_IDw5/s320/Hindu-Temples-Indian-Temples-Hindu-Mandir-TemplePedia%20india.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.templepurohit.com/hindu-temples-list/" target="_blank">Beautiful Hindu Temple in India (Image: templepurohit.com)</a></span></i></b></div></b><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Third, whereas ancestral rites are less prevalent in Hinduism's practice in India, Hindu customs and beliefs in Bali place a strong emphasis on respect for the dead and ritual offerings that are carried out on a daily basis.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Fourth, Hinduism is practiced in India differently depending on the geography and social group, whereas Hinduism was assimilated into the Tirta Religion, the traditional Balinese religion, in Bali, creating a distinctive diversity of rituals and beliefs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Fifth, whereas Hindu practices in Bali tend to be more liberal and adaptable to a contemporary and dynamic setting, Hindu practices in India have evolved with modernization, and certain Indian Hindu organizations have embraced a stricter and more fundamentalist stance in their religious activities.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">However, despite the contrasts between Hinduism as it is practiced in India and Bali, both have a distinctive beauty and richness in their religious practices that show the Hinduism's strength to be flexible and able to adapt to various surroundings and civilizations.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><b>Note: </b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>"This essay examines the variations in how Hinduism and Hindu philosophy are practiced in Bali and India.

Ada banyak hal yang dilakukan untuk meraih kebahagiaan sepanjang hidup. Ternyata upaya untuk menemukan rasa bahagia, baik dalam bathin maupun secara fisik membuat manusia berjuang dari abad ke abad, dengan berbagai cara. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Perasaan bahagia memang tidak bisa diukur dengan mudah. Rasa itu ada di hati, kadarnya pun berbeda pada setiap orang, apalagi kalau dihubungkan dengan perasaan lain, yaitu kepuasan. Meskipun seseorang sudah begitu kaya dengan harta benda maupun memiliki status sosial tinggi, ternyata sering merasa sepi di tengah kemewahan dan "karir"nya dalam perusahaan, pemerintahan maupun di tengah komunitas masyarakat. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Sementara itu, ada banyak orang yang tampaknya hidup sederhana lebih sering tersenyum, tertawa bersama keluarga dan menikmati setiap detik perjalanan hidupnya. Inilah yang sering membuat orang berpikir apa yang membedakan perasaan bahagia itu, katakanlah kalau dilihat dari status sosial, kekayaan fisik maupun hubungannya dengan orang-orang di sekitarnya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dalam agama Hindu diajarkan tentang Trikaya Parisudha yaitu tentang bagaimana kita mengendalikan pikiran, perkataan dan perbuatan. Harus ada sinkronisasi antara pikiran, perkataan dan perbuatan. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyzDK1BMGPgbzyqj85NpM9ACW5R_2IC1ItsemCtL6YoTbsLkeB5q3WEuDw0_ngLOEk1fyxThO-iJebqugv9zr2gBNTzYcPgjhCc-viM0GhA3wZPsZf31esDNAyiQ0PigXGauZTySPbJXTko5ti2p_qQ8bIjywft1RE9hEvChgeW03UTb7-kf_W0G8D/s630/sembahyang%20bahagia%20hindu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="381" data-original-width="630" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyzDK1BMGPgbzyqj85NpM9ACW5R_2IC1ItsemCtL6YoTbsLkeB5q3WEuDw0_ngLOEk1fyxThO-iJebqugv9zr2gBNTzYcPgjhCc-viM0GhA3wZPsZf31esDNAyiQ0PigXGauZTySPbJXTko5ti2p_qQ8bIjywft1RE9hEvChgeW03UTb7-kf_W0G8D/s320/sembahyang%20bahagia%20hindu.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://guliangkangin.or.id/artikel/2016/3/14/etika-bersembahyang-di-pura" target="_blank">Wujudkan kebahagaiaan untuk diri sendiri dan orang lain dimulai dari pikiran (guliangkangin.or.id)</a></span></b></i></div></i><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Pikiran adalah bagian dari anugrah Tuhan yang memberikan kesempatan kepada manusia untuk tidak langsung berkata, meskipun hal itu sepertinya sangat penting untuk diucapkan. Begitu pula pikiran itu seharusnya bisa membuat kita untuk langsung berbuat, menunda atau tidak akan melakukannya sama sekali. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Manusia yang terkena dampak dari sebuah kalimat atau kata, maka dia atau pihak terkait akan sulit melupakan, terutama perkataan buruk, sindiran, hinaan atau kalimat tanpa etika lainnya, baik yang diucapkan langsung pada yang orang yang dimaksud, maupun yang tidak langsung, namun akhirnya orang yang dituju akan tahu pada waktunya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Kata-kata adalah lebih tajam dari sebilah pedang, yang jika tidak dikendalikan dengan pikiran yang baik, maka akan membuat orang lain sedih dan tidak bahagia. Pada akhirnya cepat atau lambat, orang yang mengucapkan kata-kata buruk itu akan terkena hukum karma, yang mungkin lebih buruk daripada korbannya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Perbuatan buruk adalah hasil dari pikiran jahat, nyinyir dan tidak sesuai etika agama dan adat istiadat, maupun hukum dunia yang dibuat oleh manusia (negara). Ada banyak perbuatan jahat yang bisa bertahan lama, yaitu tidak ada yang mengetahui perbuatan orang tersebut, misalnya mencuri harta warisan, menggelapkan pendapatan (income) dari perusahaan, tidak melaporkan dana kepada negara (pajak), atau mengambil hak waris untuk kepentingan pribadi. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Jika perbuatan semacam itu dilakukan, maka cepat atau lambat ada hukum karma yang akan berjalan, kemudian hukum negara pun akan terjadi, lalu sanksi sosial yang akan menimpa dirinya sendiri maupun keluarganya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Selain sifat tamak dan serakah, seseorang yang tidak bisa mengendalikan perkataan dan perbuatannya adalah karane merasa paling hebat, merasa paling berhak, sangat berjasa, dan sangat ingin mendominasi salam segala urusan, meskipun itu bukan haknya. Di dalam diri orang ini tidak ada welas asih, apalagi memahami apa itu makna dan implementasi dari Tat Twam Asi. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Jika orang tidak punya pemahaman tentang ajaran Tat Twam Asi, maka orang ini sangat mudah untuk iri dan dengki. Dalam bahasa gaulnya, orang ini tidak senang melihat orang lain atau anggota keluarganya bahagia. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Mereka juga tidak paham, mungkin lupa kalau ada ajaran Tri Hita Karana. Bahwa harus ada keselarasan hubungan manusia dengan Tuhan, manusia dengan alam, dan harmonis pula dengan manusia lainnya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Seberapa besar apapun yadnya yang dilakukan, bahkan merasa paling paham soal Panca Yadnya, bahkan terlibat di dalam sebuah ritual dan upacara, seperti ikut mengaturnya sedemikian rupa, namun lupa dengan istiadat serta desa kala patra, maka apa pun yang dilakukan akan menjadi sia-sia. Perbuatan mendominasi hanya akan menimbulkan perasaan tidak nyaman pada orang-orang disekitarnya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Orang-orang yang tidak pernah merasa puas, selalu iri dengki, lalu tidak kapok untuk berbuat jahat, maka pada akhirnya orang seperti ini tidak akan pernah merasa puas, jauh dari rasa bahagia. Dampak pertamanya adalah kehilangan respek dari banyak orang, bahkan anggota keluarga inti akan menjauh, begitu pula masyarakat atau komunitasnya. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Meskipun orang tersebut terlibat dalam berbagai kegiatan sosial dan amal, namun karena tidak didasari oleh ajaran Tri Kaya Parisudha, Tat Twam Asi dan Tri Hita Karana, serta mengabaikan adat istiadat dan filosofi desa kala patra, maka semua perbuatan yang dianggap baik itu hanya akan sia-sia, dan tidak menjadi jalan menuju kebahagiaan. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dalam bahasa gaul sering dikatakan bahwa bahagia itu sederhana. Berbahagialah kalau melihat orang (keluarga) yang sedang berbahagia. Dengan semangat Tri Kaya Parisudha dan Tatwam Asi serta menjalankan filosofi yang terkandung dalam ajaran Tri Hita Karana, maka rasa bahagia itu akan terwujud dan bisa dirasakan diri sendiri dan siapapun di sekitar kita. </span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242861178226966016.post-40124843883503366902021-11-20T15:28:00.001-08:002021-11-20T15:28:11.282-08:00The beauty of Hindu religion<p> <span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Hindus understand that Hinduism has a universal philosophy that transcends the vastness of the universe and the solar system. Therefore, true scientists and philosophers will not be surprised if rituals in Hindu communities in various countries are carried out in unique ways, which follow local customs, traditions, and culture. This is the beauty of Hindu teachings, where local traditions do not have to be contradicted with ritual procedures in India, the origin of Hinduism.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">If Hindus from India are traveling to other countries whether as tourists, businessmen, ex-pats, or scientists, then you will be amazed to see how Hindu rituals are carried out in a different way than the Indian tradition.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1tuIn5SOa9U4fSsQhmRlRUWwmeqcn6pJA5oTyc0wWy3BUcKKe5kW9luRgf4j9gHRpiQEzEs5K1S-U-k0dGUmfcmJyMQFJGSy1Sd4h9rA-KIooqP6BIdTdrmh7HSjhRrqEVKq3hmlhXg/s1400/Must-Visit-Hindu-Temples-in-Bali-Indonesia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1400" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1tuIn5SOa9U4fSsQhmRlRUWwmeqcn6pJA5oTyc0wWy3BUcKKe5kW9luRgf4j9gHRpiQEzEs5K1S-U-k0dGUmfcmJyMQFJGSy1Sd4h9rA-KIooqP6BIdTdrmh7HSjhRrqEVKq3hmlhXg/s320/Must-Visit-Hindu-Temples-in-Bali-Indonesia.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-family: arial;"><b><a href="https://thehoneycombers.com/bali/hindu-temples-in-bali/" target="_blank">Hindu tradition at a beautiful Hindu temple on the island of Bali, Indonesia.

Hindus around the world still adhere to the sacred teachings of the Vedas, which have been inherited for thousands of years.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The occurrence of differences in rituals, ceremonies, and traditions carried out by Hindus in various countries such as Bali (Indonesia), Nepal, and other countries are clear evidence that has been running for thousands of years, that Hinduism is very universal beyond time.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Hindu scholars have understood well that the diversity in the traditions practiced by Hindus does not have to imitate the Hindu traditions practiced in India. This amazing fact will make Hindu teachings will develop naturally like the air in the sky that flows in the universe.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Mutual respect and appreciation for the diverse Hindu traditions in various countries is the main capital for Hindus to guard the sacred teachings of Hinduism into an eternal religion throughout the ages. This wise attitude is carried out with the spirit of love as taught by the Vedic scriptures by the ancestors from time to time until now, even going beyond the digital era we are going through today.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The true teaching of Hinduism is to respect the traditions, customs, arts, and culture practiced by Hindus around the world. This is an undeniable fact, Hinduism is a universal that transcends time and the universe.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Therefore, it is important for Hindus around the world to know each other, and see firsthand the beauty of Hindu traditions around the world.

I am very grateful to have found the essence and purpose of meditation according to Hinduism from Wikipedia, also based on Buddhism.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">If we want to find peace and the Chakras within us, there are several ways we can do it during meditation. Both Hindu and Buddhist have some similarities. Dharma is the essence of Hindu and Buddhist spirituality.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dhyāna in Hinduism means contemplation and meditation.
Dhyāna is taken up in Yoga exercises and is a means to samadhi and
self-knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The various concepts of </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Dhyāna</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> and its practice originated
in the Sramanic movement of ancient India, which started before the 6th century
BCE (pre-Buddha, pre-Mahavira), and the practice has been influential within
the diverse traditions of Hinduism.<i><b>1)</b></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is, in Hinduism, a
part of a self-directed awareness and unifying Yoga process by which the yogi
realizes Self (Atman, soul), one's relationship with other living beings, and
Ultimate Reality. Dhyana is also found in other Indian religions such as
Buddhism and Jainism. These developed along with dhyana in Hinduism, partly
independently, partly influencing each other.<i><b>2)</b></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The term Dhyana appears in Aranyaka and Brahmana layers of
the Vedas but with unclear meaning, while in the early Upanishads it appears in
the sense of "contemplation, meditation" and an important part of the self-knowledge process. It is described in numerous Upanishads of Hinduism, and
in Patanjali's Yogasutras - a key text of the Yoga school of Hindu philosophy.<i><b>3)</b></i></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;"><i>1),2) and 3): en.wikipedia.org</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Even though we have not mastered Yoga, there is no reason not to start meditation with positive results and effects.

himself as an eternal Atman, one with God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">There is an expression that states that Bhagavad Gita is
the 5th Vedic, which seems very sensible. If you read the Gita, you will find
the essence of the supreme purification of humanity, human struggle, the true
truth about God, and the human obligation of the neighbor, the universe, not
just the obligation to God, the Creator himself. Bhagavad Gita is very
universal, and there are many world leaders from ancient times read and
inspired by Gita. <o:p></o:p>The Bhagavad Gita is the universal teachings for all mankind, not only for Indians or Hindus.</span></div>

knowledge to Arjuna in the battlefield just before the great battle began, a

<span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="font-family: arial;">From
Wikipedia there are quotations as follows: Reincarnation (from the Latin for
"born again" or "born in originally" or <i><b>tumitis or numitis </b>(Balinese and Javanese word)</i>,
refers to the belief that someone was going to die and be reborn in the form of
another life. The birth was not a manifestation physical as our existence
today. the born again it is the soul of the person who took a particular form
in accordance with the results of his behavior in the past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="font-family: arial;">There
are two main streams of reincarnation in the world: first, those who believe
that humans will continue to be reborn. Secondly, those who believe that humans
will stop born originally in a while when they do good things when life as a
human being, or if it gets supreme consciousness (Nirvana) or united with God
(moksha). Hinduism believes in the second stream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is a two-step process of birth in a previous life. In Hinduism and Buddhism,
the philosophy of reincarnation teaches people to be aware of the actual
happiness and responsible for the fate that is being received. If the man was
tied to the cycle of reincarnation, then his life was not spared from the
grief. During soul bound to the results of bad deeds, then he will be
reincarnated into a person who is always sorrowful.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">Now, you
will see a beautiful Hindu temple in Belgium, and you can pray, meditate or you
are interested in getting fond memories of a masterpiece of Balinese architecture,
which stands majestically in Europe. Although you are not a Hindu, you will
feel true peace in your heart as has been perceived by Eric, a Belgian man who has
a heart that is generous, kind, and has conducted Yadnya activities, namely
the present house of worship or a house of God for Hindus in Belgium and
Europe, and you are free to visit this holy temple.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Paradisio was built in 1993 in the city of Brugelette, 80 km from the city of
Brussels. It’s 50 minutes by car from Brussels. Amid the parc Paradisio, there
is an old castle with a tower 30 meters high. Brugelette is located on the
outskirts of the city, surrounded by the expanse of wheat and corn crops. At

traditions, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE,
in ancient India's ascetic circles, which are also credited with the early
sramana movements. The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices
is unclear, varyingly credited to Hindu Upanishads and Buddhist Pāli Canon,
probably of third century BCE or later.</span><br />

Gāyatrī Mantra (Sanskrit: </span><span style="font-family: "mangal" , "serif";">गायत्री</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> </span><span style="font-family: "mangal" , "serif";">मन्त्र</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">) is a highly revered mantra of the
Vedic tradition. It is sometimes called 'Mahā Manŧra'. Mahā means 'great'. This
beautiful Mantra has been chronicled in the Rig Veda, which was written in
Sanskrit about 2500 to 3500 years ago, and the mantra may have been chanted for
many centuries before that. The Gayatri Mantra consists of twenty-four
syllables - three lines of eight syllables each. The first line (Aum Bhur
Bhuvah Swah) is considered an invocation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Gayatri
Mantra is also referred to as a Vedic poetic meter of 24 syllables or any hymn
composed in this matter. As the verse can be interpreted to invoke the deva
Savitr, it is often called Sāvitrī mantra.[2] Depending on how Savitri is
interpreted, this mantra can be seen as connected to Sun Worship, Yoga, Tantra
and Mother Goddess. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
