Nyepi is a Hindu holiday that is celebrated each new year of Saka. This day falls on a count of Tilem Kesanga (IX) which is a day of purification believe the gods who are in the center of the ocean water Amrita brings the essence of life. For that Hindus worship sacred to them. Understanding Nyepi
Nyepi comes from the quiet (silent, silent). Nyepi is a Hindu New Year celebration on the calendar / Saka calendar, which began in 78 AD. Unlike the Gregorian New Year, New Year of Saka in Bali begins with the retreat. There are no activities as usual. All activities eliminated, including public services, such as the International Airport was closed, but not for the hospital.
The main purpose of Nyepi is pleading to the presence of Almighty God, to purify Buwana Alit (human nature / microcosmos) and the Great Buwana / macrocosmos (universe). Before Nyepi, there are several ceremonies that Hindus do, particularly in the areas of Bali.
Melasti, Tawur (Pecaruan), and Pengrupukan
Three or two days before Nyepi, Hindus perform ritual cleansing with Melasti or called Melis / Mekiyis. On this day, all existing facilities prayers at Temple (shrine) in the procession to the beach or lake, because the sea or lake is a source of holy water (Tirta Amerta) and can cleanse all leteh (gross) in man and nature.
The day before Nyepi, namely the "Tilem Sasih Kesanga (month of the dead 9)", Hindu ceremony Yadnya Blind in all levels of society, starting from each family, banjar, villages, districts and so on, by taking one from the types of caru (such offerings) according to his ability. Blind Yadnya respectively called Panca Sata (small), Panca Kinsman (was), and Tawur Great (large). Tawur or pecaruan itself a purification / pemarisuda Buta Kala, and all leteh (impurities) are expected to vanish all. Caru performed at home each consisting of rice overseas (five) has 9 colors match / package along with side dishes, like chicken brumbun (colored) tetabuhan with wine / wine. Yadnya blind is addressed to The Blind King, Blind and Kala Kala, by pleading that they not disturb people.
Mecaru followed by pengerupukan ceremony, which is spread spread Tawur rice, torch-obori house and all the yard, house and yard menyemburi with gunpowder, and hitting objects whatever (usually wide band) to quiet noisy / rowdy. This stage is to expel Buta Kala from the home environment, yard, and my surroundings. Particularly in Bali, pengrupukan usually enlivened by a parade of ogoh-ogoh Buta Kala embodies that paraded around the neighborhood, and then burned. The goal at the Blind Kala drive from the neighborhood.
The Summit of Nyepi
The next day, ie on Kedasa Purnama (full moon to-10), comes the real Nyepi. On this day like a dead atmosphere. There is no rush as usual activities. On this day Hindus perform "Catur Brata" Penyepian which consists of observing geni (no berapi-api/tidak use and / or the fire), observed the work (not working), observed lelungan (not traveling), and observed lelanguan (not listening entertainment). And for those who can also perform tapas, Brata, yoga and semadhi.
So for the new, truly began with a new page white. To start a new life in Caka any year, this base is used, so everything we do starts with nothing, pure and clean. Each of the men of knowledge (jnana Tattwa the wruhing) implement Brata (curbing the passions), yoga (connecting people with paramatma (God), tapas (suffering endurance training), and contemplation (unity of God, the ultimate aim is the sanctity of inner and outer).
All of it becomes imperative for Hindus to have an inner readiness to face any challenge life in the new year. The habit of celebrating holidays with spree, gambling, drinking habits is something wrong and must be changed.
Ngembak Geni (Ngembak Fire)
Final series of the Saka New Year celebration is the day that falls Ngembak Geni on "pinanggal ping kalih" (July 2) Sasih kedasa (moon X). On this day the Saka New Year is entered a second day. Hindus stay in touch with family and neighbors, I'm sorry forgive each other (ksama) one another.
