THE MEANING OF “NYEPI” VIEWED FROM PHILOSOPHY CORNER
For
Balinese Hindu New Year always begins after Tilem Caka Kesanga (IX), so Hari
Raya Nyepi is a new year. Why the turn of the year
begins after the expiration month kesanga( IX) ?, But one year there were 12
months according to calendar calculations. Besides Bali calendar
recognizes one year there were 12 months ie Kedasa, Jiyestha, Sada, Kasa,
Karo, katiga, Kapat, Kalima, Kenem, Kepitu, Kaulu, Kesanga. Why Caka year begins
from kedasa?. This is because the notion of numbers. Hindus especially in Bali admitted that the highest number is the number 9 (sanga). While the number ten is actually a repetition rate which consists of the numbers 1 and 0 (number ten letters of Bali). Similarly, the number eleven is the number of replications 1 and 1, as well as the number twelve (12) and so forth. It's all repetition rates again. While the number nine said to be a number of mystical (magic) because the only numbers when multiplied by the number, except zero or fractional numbers, the numbers will show abnormalities of the other figures. Because one number among the numbers one to nine when multiplied by the number nine, the result of multiplication is then added together would produce nine for example: |

CALONARANG
Among older generation in Bali the name of Calon Arang is like arising deep horror of black magic that peeps human dead body at the cemetery during the night time, or radiating malicious disease to cause epidemic and alike horrible human catastrophes. The practitioner of such as powerful black magic master in Bali is associated with a fairy figure of Calong Arang. But the name of Calon Arang in Bali refers to a horrible black magic inspired drama with the key figure of Rangda, a widow who is considered the king of black magic. It is not known the origin of the word " rangda ", many old writer said to refer a widow as an infinitive word without relating the word with the famous myth of Calong Arang.

Narada Bhakti Sutras
NARADA BHAKTI SUTRAS - Translated by Swami Vivekananda...
The Bhakti Sutras is a classic work of Hinduism,
and consists of connected aphorisms (or sutras) on Bhakti - and purportedly
composed in Sanskrit by Narada Muni, an ancient, and, perhaps, mythological
sage.
This free translation of Narada Bhakti Sutras
was dictated by the Swami in America.
CHAPTER I
1. Bhakti is intense
love for God.
2. It is the nectar of love;
3. Getting which man becomes perfect, immortal, and satisfied for ever;
4. Getting which man desires no more, does not become jealous of anything, does not take pleasure in vanities:
5. Knowing which man becomes filled with spirituality, becomes calm, and finds pleasure only in God.
6. It cannot be used to fill any desire, itself being the check to all desires.
7. Sannyâsa is giving up both the popular and the scriptural forms of worship.
8. The Bhakti-Sannyasin is the one whose whole soul goes unto God, and whatever militates against love to God, he rejects.
9. Giving up all other refuge, he takes refuge in God.
10. Scriptures are to be followed as long as one's life has not become firm;
11. Or else there is danger of doing evil in the name of liberty.
12. When love becomes established, even social forms are given up, except those which are necessary for the preservation of life.
13. There have been many definitions of love, but Nârada gives these as the signs of love: When all thoughts, all words, and all deeds are given up unto the Lord, and the least forgetfulness of God makes one intensely miserable, then love has begun.
14. As the Gopis had it —
15. Because, although worshipping God as their lover, they never forgot his God-nature;
16. Otherwise they would have committed the sin of unchastity.
17. This is the highest form of love, because there is no desire of reciprocity, which desire is in all human love.

Brahma Sutras
By
Sri Swami Sivananda
Hari Om! Salutations to
Sri Vyasa, the Avatara of Vishnu, the wise Badarayana and Sri Krishna
Dwaipayana.
Vedas consist of three
portions viz., the Karma-Kanda which deals with sacrifices or ceremonial rites,
the Upasana-Kanda which treats of Upasana (worship) and the Jnana-Kanda which deals with knowledge of Brahman.
Karma-Kanda represents the feet of a man, Upasana-Kanda the heart, and the
Jnana-Kanda the head. Just as the head is the most important portion of a man,
so also the Upanishads which treat of the knowledge portion of the Vedas is the
head of the Vedas. Hence it is said to be the Shir (head) of Vedas.
