Om swastiastu. Welcome to our December issue! It’s a wonderful start to a brand new year and for this, we’d like to give thanks. The past year has been slightly event- ful to say the least.

With that in mind, let’s mindfully celebrate the brand new year with some awesome deals and offers. You can find amazing deals at your favorite hotels, villas, restaurants, spas and beach clubs in our What’s New and Hot Deals pages. Happy hour is every night and unbeatable shop- ping is also available. Events, exhibitions and Balinese cul- tural occasions can be found in our Don’t Miss section.

On Saraswati day, offerings and prayers are presented in temples, homes, schools, of- fices as well as to books and sacred texts, which are regarded as sources of knowl- edge. Held once every 210 days, ceremo- nies are usually conducted in the morn- ing as the Goddess is believed to return to Heaven in the afternoon. The day after Saraswati is Banyu Pinaruh, a day dedicat- ed to cleansing. On this day, the Balinese will head towards the sea, sacred water- falls or river to cleanse themselves and of- fer prayers to the Goddess before return- ing to their family homes to prepare and enjoy a family feast. 9 | BALIPLUS January 2021 Siwa Ratri 12 January 2021 Dubbed “the longest night” by the Ba- linese, Siwa Ratri is a time for self-reflec- tion and meditation. Prayers will begin at 6:00am on the day and continue on for 24-hours until the next morning. Through- out Siwa Ratri, devotees will fast and pray while asking for forgiveness from the God Shiva. Many will abstain from speaking for at least 12-hours and fast for 24-hours. Serious devotees will stay up for 36-hours. The entire purpose of Siwa Ratri is to re- mind the Balinese to have self-control, to surrender and stay close to God, and that the earth and material matter are only temporary. 10 | BALIPLUS January 2021 Tumpek Wayang 9 January 2021 Tumpek Wayang is a traditional Balinese Hindu holiday and sacred festival which is celebrated every 210 days here on the island to celebrate art in all forms. This day is one part in a series of Tumpek days for blessing different subjects. Out of all the Tumpek days in the Balinese calendar, Tum- pek Wayang may be considered the most mystical. On this special day, ceremonies are held relating to the arts, specifically the traditional performing art form of shadow puppetry or wayang. Offerings are made to the equipment including masks and character puppets in- volved in the traditional theatrical art and they are also spiritually cleansed through ceremonies. Prayers are also carried out in order for the arts to be sustainable, enjoya- ble, and to bring good fortune. This festival brings togeth- er puppeteers who perform purification rites (ruwatan) to purify their bodies both physically and mentally. Some believe that Tumpek Wayang is an unlucky day, similar to Friday the 13th in the West. Balinese mythol- ogy describes the story of an improper sexual encounter between the god Shiva and the goddess Uma, resulting in the birth of Dewa Kala, a scary demon. Old Balinese re- cords state that on Tumpek Wayang, the god Shiva grants permission to a demon to devour a child born on this day. To protect newborns, the Balinese perform a special sym- bolic ceremony called Sapuh Leger to ward off demons and prevent harm from to the child. The Sapuh Leger ceremony requires the participation of a puppeteer, who plays special puppets as part of the ceremony. However, the Balinese also believe that the god Ishvara manifests on earth at this time to protect humans from evil and to provide enlightenment. Enlightenment is be- lieved to come in the form of artists, provided with the powers to create art. 11 | BALIPLUS January 2021 12 | BALIPLUS January 2021 13 | BALIPLUS January 2021 Bali’s Best Awards THE 1ST INDONESIA VIRTUAL RUN TO GIVE 2020 Fifty-five (55) hotels from Marriott International hotels and resorts in Indonesia, hosted the 1st Virtual Run To Give Indonesia on October 1st to 31st, 2020.

  • THE BALI TEMPLE RUN Temples in Bali Share the Top Spot on the Must-Visit List with Its Beaches
    CULTURE THE BALI TEMPLE RUN Temples in Bali share the top spot on the must-visit list with its beaches. Take a look at some of these architectural marvels that dot the pretty Indonesian island. TEXT ANURAG MALLICK he sun was about to set across the cliffs of Uluwatu, the stony headland that gave the place its name. Our guide, Made, explained that ulu is ‘land’s end’ or ‘head’ in Balinese, while watu is ‘stone’. PerchedT on a rock at the southwest tip of the peninsula, Pura Luhur Uluwatu is a pura segara (sea temple) and one of the nine directional temples of Bali protecting the island. We gaped at the waves crashing 230 ft below, unaware that the real spectacle was about to unfold elsewhere. A short walk led us to an amphitheatre overlooking the dramatic seascape. In the middle, around a sacred lamp, fifty bare-chested performers sat in concentric rings, unperturbed by the hushed conversations of the packed audience. They sat in meditative repose, with cool sandalwood paste smeared on their temples and flowers tucked behind their ears. Sharp at six, chants of cak ke-cak stirred the evening air. For the next one hour, we sat open-mouthed in awe at Bali’s most fascinating temple ritual. Facing page: Pura Taman Saraswati is a beautiful water temple in the heart of Ubud.

  • E Lotus Flower (Nelumbo Nucifera, Nelumbonaceae) Lends Its Symbolic
    Puja is a Hindu and Buddhist ceremony of oerings and worship in homage to a god. During the ceremony, the ociant oers food, owers and symbolic objects to the representative of the god. He tries to provoke the arrival of a god inside its depiction as an image or statue. e invocation by the pujari (the ociant) begins with ringing a small bell to call the divine. It is followed by oering fresh owers, food and incense accompanied by music and repetitive recitation of mantras (sacred words). e lotus ower (Nelumbo nucifera, Nelumbonaceae) lends its symbolic purity and perfection to Buddhism and Taoism. It’s an aquatic plant which represents the birth of the Buddha. With its roots thrust into the mud and its owers open to the sky, on a stalk emerging from the water and the mire, it is an allegory of the life of the Buddha. During his life on earth the Buddha rose above the beliefs of the animists and Hindus to achieve supreme knowledge. He is oen depicted seated or even standing on a lotus ower which, in Buddhism, recalls the three stages of existence: the past, present and future. e lotus bud is thus one of the most common plant oerings in Buddhist temples. e pujari anoints the object of worship, a statue or a lingam (a stone carved in the shape of a phallus), with oil of camphor or sandal paste then covers it with garlands of owers. Puja is celebrated by Brahmins in the temple and by the head of the family in the home.

We Filipinos have to be thankful to all the T servicemen who fought to free our country from Japanese occupation. In this issue of the CyberFlashes I would like to mention a fact which all of us have to deal with at some period of our life. There will be times in life, Which will make you sad, Every happening-taking place, Wouldn’t make you glad. Your every word won’t be agreed, There will be someone to oppose, Someone who won’t like, Whatever you have proposed. Criticism you’ll have to face, With each passing day, To achieve something in life, Is not a child’s play. Along with friends you’ll have, Some foes too, The sky above might turn, Dark from pleasant blue. Tears will run down your cheeks, You’ll have a lot of pain, Every time you won’t be sheltered, From sunshine or rain.

This can be seen, among others, at the daily ritual service of the people called yajña. One of the kinds is named Ngerebeg, a ritual held by the villagers of Desa Adat Tegal Darmasaba. Although it is an old tradition, the theological content of the ritual is still unknown these days. The ritual of Ngerebeg uses several means. Among them are leaf, fruit, cattle, fire, and water. It is held once a year during the local calendar of Wrhaspatti Pon Wuku Langkir, led by Jro Mangku in the Dalem temple of the village. It starts with preparing all of the tools and other equipments needed for the ritual. Its peak is filled with procession around the village area. The ritual is believed to 1) have theological meaning as it is found in the worship of Saguna Brahman and Nirguna Brahman, 2) bring harmony to the village people, and 3) teach some aesthetical values. Key Words: Theology, Hindu, Ngerebeg, and Desa Adat. Vol. 1 No. 1 May 2017 I. Introduction The name of “Island with Thousand Temples” or “Island of Gods” for Bali should be associated with the unique local Hindu tradition of the Balinese people.
