Through coaching we can gurulah good learning curve.

"When we face many challenges, we are taught true withdraw into berenung. With demilcian we can clearly see the problem so as to find solutions to solve or to obtain a clear path to stay on the path of truth (satya), "he said.

Similar dikatakari professor State Institute of Hindu Dharma (IHDN) Prof. Denpasar. Drs. Ketut Subagiasta, M.Sc., D. Phil. When Ida Sang Hyang Widi (Sang Hyang Aji Saraswati) decrease during Saraswati science, then the people need a teacher learn. In this case the teacher's role is very noble. When was the people Pagerwesi worships God in its manifestation as the master - Hyang Paramestiguru. "Once people get science, theory of knowledge is necessary practiced or implemented. In implementing the necessary guidance counselor. Of knowledge (jnana) is obtained by further interpreted or practiced (wijnana) to live a life full of obstacles, "he said as he confirmed that Pagerwesi implies that knowledge has ruled that the fence should be strong in life - fortify yourself with knowledge .

Lecturer UNHI Drs. TB Suatama, M.Sc. said the same thing. In the context of learning science, teacher attendance is very important study. Thanks to the guidance gurulah people can master the knowledge properly and correctly.

Teachers, continued TB Suatama, contains two things that gunatika and rupadita. Gunatika means a teacher must be able to pass TRIGUNA - Satyam, Anggara Wage coincide Sasih Gumbreg Wuku Kapitu (Tuesday, January 23, 2001), is a holy day for Hindus. These days known as Siwalatri / Siwaratri or Night of Shiva. Latri means night (dark). And even the night was the darkest night than other nights. Manners among the general Balinese Hindus call it "peteng Pitu".

On the day the people worship Siwaratri Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in prabhawanya as Shiva Mahadeva. The people should carry Brata, enhance spiritual purity and carnality exercise restraint. Aim to have the endurance in the face of various challenges of life in this world. Freed from the various temptations that can be misleading and misleading life, because the act deviating from the teachings of dharma or religion.

Dark can be scary and nerve contraction for some people. Because according to them fester in the dark demons and various other predatory beings. Part of another person but the dark is the media in getting his inner peace. In the darkness of night there was silence the silence and peace, so they go after dark, including evening students darkest night Tilem Kepitu day before January 24, 2001.

Lubdhaka is poor hunter who blessed their way of life, though not realized due to chance. Say happy, because even in the everyday always sadistic act, the murder of animals (animals), but can go to heaven after death.

From a layman's eyes only, of the act killing, of killing another creature outside yadnya purposes, is sinful. The mystery of death and spirits travel much Lubdhaka not know. These hunters die in Hindu mythology a few days after Siwaratri due to any disease. Wife and children feel lost.

What do Lubdhaka so get tickets go to heaven after death? One day he was a day of hunting, but did not get a game. At that time, let alone he managed to shoot an animal to take home, saw the shadow of the beast is not. Very definitely not your day's journey Lubdhaka as a professional hunter.

In a vacuum, mixed with annoyance physical fatigue due to hunger and should not contradictory Lubdhaka decided to go home to his wife and beloved children. With a sense of resignation and desperation he decided to spend the night in the woods, fields hunt alone.

It was as a hunter Lubdhaka no other motive, to survive in the woods. Except one hopes, that night he would find the animal and managed to take home memanahnya. He chose to live in a tree near the pond where the water is very clear.

Lubdhaka may expect, but in fact until the middle of the night remained silent nil result. Even in the dark night she was frightened. Lubdhaka then choose to climb a pretty shady tree, the anticipation of the ambush in order to avoid wild animals. To hold sleepiness hand picking each one tidah branch. It turned out that night when staying in the forest Lubdhaka the Night of Shiva (Shiva Latri), ie, Shiva Hyang Payogan night.

Where under a tree where there was a lake to climb the embodiment of Shiva and yoga. Tree of riding is a tree if, and in the excerpts he tpat about the statue of Shiva. because of fear of falling male automatic stay awake (jagra) until the morning. Lubdhaka activity that night Hyang reward of Shiva, until he was entitled to enter heaven.

Activities is as valuable as the work of Shiva. Yoga, keep thirsty, hungry, not sleeping and holding other passions. In the spirit Khayangan had become bone of contention, between the ruler of hell and heaven. Lubdhaka journey as a hunter to enter heaven quite controversial.

In fact, among the Hindus themselves this is still an issue that deserves to be discussed, this means, a Lubdhaka it appropriate that the murder of these fugitives sarwa be forgiven just because he does stay up all night suntuk.rajas activity and tamas. While rupadita means is not bound anymore to the things that nuanced world. That is why, the teacher is highly respected and obeyed. Teachers are only concerned to sisya (students) achieve his intelligence and maturity. That science is used provision to achieve progress in life - ie get a good meal (wareg), obtain clothing (Wastra), have a healthy home or board (homestead), remains in good health (sane), entertain themselves or refresing ( tourism) and keep the good (wasita). (lun).

Pura(Temple) Besakih Coat of Heaven and Earth

Yajurveda Mantra IN XXXX. I stated the truth sthana God is the universe. Explanations about the universe as God sthana restated in the book Isopanisad I.1. Therefore all Hindu shrines called or Mandira temple is the symbol of the universe. Likewise symbol Besakih universe.

In the universe Besakih visualized in various dimensions. For example in the Great Mandala Panataran Both upper reaches Salu length or often also called Bale Agung is palinggih Bhuwana Ider. Salu length was 24 at the right colonnaded hall which is often referred Pawedaan Elephant Hall. The building, called Ider Bhuwana palinggih it symbolizes that this nature is one and the round is. Because it is your natural means Bhuwana a round shaped like an egg. Your word in Sanskrit means the eggs and natural means such Bhuwana planets contents of this space.

In addition to nature described by one and round palinggih Bhuwana Ider, nature is also described as natural and nature of bottom. Nature under the Pura Besakih visualized as "Soring Ambal-Ambal". Whereas nature of visualized "Ambal Luhuring-Ambal". Komplek Pura Besakih temple was classified in Soring Ambal-Ambal and
There Pura classified in Luhuring Ambal-Ambal.

Temple belonging to the Ambal Soring Ambal include Pesimpangan Pura, Pura Manik Mas, Pura Bangun Sakti, Selonding Mrajan Pura, Pura Gua King, Pura Hair Sedana, Basukian Pura, Pura Dalem Puri, Jenggala Pura, Pura and Pura Mrajan Banua Kanginan. Temple belonging to the Luhuring Ambal Ambal is Penataran Agung Besakih, Pura Batu Madeg, Dark Pura, Pura Kiduling Kreteg, Ulun Kulkul, Temple Review, Pura Tirtha, Pengubengan Pura and Pura Pasar Agung Village Sebudi. Complex: Pura Besakih complex is often called the 18 temples. This is due to King and Pura Pura Goa Sedana hair is considered a complex.

Pura Soring-Ambal Ambal natural existence under the symbol called the Sapta Patala which means the seven natural layer below. While Pura-Luhuring Ambal-Ambal natural existence of symbols and worship God Almighty. Nature of it is called Sapta Loka is visualized in seven layers or Penataran Mandala Agung Besakih. Palinggih Center at Temple-Ambal Ambal Soring is at Temple at Selonding Mrajan Gedong Pelinggih. In Gedong in Mrajan Pelinggih that stored all Selonding Pratima or worship statues belonging to the temple Pura Soring Ambal-Ambal. Palinggih Selonding Mrajan Gedong at this as a central symbol of nature below. While all Pratima, inscriptions, and other facilities and all belonging to the temple-Ambal Ambal Luhuring stored in palinggih Kehen in plot or Third Mandala Penataran Agung Besakih. This Kehen Palinggih Meru with its roof shaped overlap in three. Palinggih Kehen nature center is a symbol of or Luhuring Ambal-Ambal.

Why there are two groups of temples at Besakih complex? This indicates that Hinduism is not only teaching to instill trust and self-restraint on the existence and omnipotence of God. But more than that confidence and devotion of Hindus to the Lord should be utilized to understand the existence of nature and all His creation to promote life and this life. God's revered as the soul and the natural resources and natural under the. The cult was to avoid the conviction that God was trying Stana at the temple and some even suspect there is only God in heaven. This may cause many people who casually on earth did this because God is only in the sky; only occasionally comes to earth.

We adore God is symbolized in the temple berstana to facilitate training to concentrate. But in the philosophy that God is everywhere. With the belief that God is in the nature and the nature of mankind that can also understand that the natural elements that can function because there is God in nature. Magma which is the source of fire in the belly of the earth as a natural element that caused the fertility of the earth. Likewise, God is also in the ground so that the soil becomes a source of food that is not endless course if the natural rights of the land is not disturbed man. Therefore worship God as the god of the land to inculcate an understanding of the need to ground is maintained so as not to be disturbed function in creating food. Therefore God worshiped as the god of land called Ananta Bhoga god. Word ananta Bhog means food endless. Soil fertility is not disturbed by man would bring food that is not inexhaustible.

There is also a temple to worship God as the god of water is to inculcate understanding of the people so as not to damage the existence of water as a source of life of humans. Thank goodness God created the water. There is no life without water. God as a water god worshiped as Sang Hyang Basuki. Basuki means rahayu or survivors. Without water there is no salvation.

Similarly, the temple in Luhuring there Ambal Ambal-called Alu Repeat Pagoda and Temple of Queen Subandar. This is to direct the conduct of their business operations in the country and abroad in order to trade in accordance with the norms of the right to trade, good and virtuous; not cheat the customer, not good quality fake goods and scales.

There are also palinggih Widyadhara and Widyadharii which means God as the god of science. Thus so that a group Soring Ambal Temple-Ambal and Luhuring Ambal-Ambal as a symbol to instill the understanding that God exists everywhere, including in the heavens and the earth. Thus the worship of God to be utilized to build the noble moral to maintain the sanctity of the earth and sky that are not polluted by human behavior. I Ketut Wiana.

Balinese Folktale : Banaspati Raja

Siwa and his wife Dewi Sri were walking once in the mountain walaraoe. And moved by the lonely beauty of place Siwa wanted to enjoy his wife. But she would not, because it seemed to her too solemn and godlike a place for such a thing. And while he strove with her two drops of sperma fell into a hollow of the mountain. Siwa was vexed with is wife because she had caused them to be wasted, and he said mantras over them, and they became twins, a boy and girl. Then he went away with Dewi Sri and left the children alone. And in heaven he heard them crying for food; and he went down to them and told them who their father was, and gave them names: kalawenara and kalekek, and told them to find their food in the graveyard. Kalekek was to eat, but after midday only, the offerings for the dead; Kalawenara was to live beside the magic spring, on the titigonggan and serve the god of the spring, whose name was Sanghyang Putrajaya. And his food was to be the coins which accompany the offerings, and one of the cremation offerings.

Meanwhile, Dewi Sri, who was rather out of favor, began to wander whether she too might be able to make a child without the help of her husband. So he began to haunt the temple of death. And at the full moon of Kajeng Kliwon (a magically powerful day) she went to bathe with her servant in the water spout in the middle of the graveyard. And by chance she laid her clothes on the grave of a woman who had died pregnant. When the night came she went again to the spot as Durga and said spells over the corpse, and a girl- child was born. And the after-birth she made into a boy. And she called the girl Bhuta Seliwer and the boy Cuildaki, and appointed both to be the guardians of the graveyard. But Buta Seliwer complained that her magic was not strong enough, so her name was changed to Seliwarmaya, and she was given the kepuh tree to live in. and Cuildaki was told to mingle with souls of uncremated people and cause trouble in the houses of their relations. And for their food she gave them, as Siwa had done to their children, the offering to the dead.

Now when the next death-offerings were brought, Kelekek went to the graveyard to eat them. But because she was invisible they could not see who was stealing the offerings. And Cuildaki who was also waiting for his food, saw the people running away and saw Kelekek devouring the offerings. And he fetched his sister Seliwarmaya, and they fought with Kelekek over the offerings. And because they were two against one, kelekek was defeated and burned to ashes. And they mocked the magic she was boasted. Meanwhile Kalawenara sat waiting for his sister in titi-gonggan, and when she did not come he asked leave of Sanghyang Putrajayato go and look for her; for he said: "I suppose that she has eaten so many offerings that she cannot walk". And he called to her in the graveyard but there was no answer; only a heap of ashes. And when Putrajaya heard him calling in vain he came also to the graveyard and knew them to e the ashes of Kalekek. And at the prayer of Kalawenara he said spells over them and brought them to life again. Then Kalekek related how a terrible giant and his sister had fought against her over the offerings and killed her. And Kalawenara roared in anger and challenged them to fight with him. The Seliwarmaya came down from her kepoh tree, snorting with rage, to answer the challenge. But this time she felt she was weaker, and called Cuildaki to come and help her, and he rolled in a decaying corpse and threw himself upon Kalawenara. Kalawenara could not endure the stench of the corpse and ran away to fetch Kalekek, who came as Barong and licked the stink off with her tongue. And when Durga children felt they were losing, they cried for help to their mother, she came and began to spit fire. Kalawenara and Kalekek ran and ran, one behind another, till they came to Siwa’s world. And Siwa very much astonished to see the crowd arriving with Durga at their heels, and she asked her why she was pursuing his children. She replied: "Because your beastly children have been fighting with mine". He was astonished and said: "Where did you get children from?" and when he heard the story he was furious with his wife and ordered her never to show her face in heaven again. He condemned her to remain forever in the graveyard, and place Kalekek there to keep an eye on her. And Civa gave Kalekek the name Banaspati Raja.
