Where the queen then give birth to a baby boy good looks that they give the name of Siddhartha, but surely love seven days later, the queen Mahamaya died. A wise Rsi / advisor king at that time named Kala Devala told the king that when Prince Siddhartha grew up he would see things that will make him sad and go into the forest. Hearing this the king did not allow Siddhartha to go through the palace gates.

Siddhartha is a bright boy, happy and also very compassionate and gentle. One day Siddhartha and his cousin Devadatta was walking down the street.

But Siddhartha said it is his property. Eventually they went to the rishi Kala Devala the king's advisors where it says later Rsi goose becomes the property of those who save rather than people trying to kill him.

But Siddhartha did not feel happy in the palace. He ordered the faithful servant Channa to accompany him to walk out of the palace. On his way Siddhartha saw an old man who stooped where Siddhartha was never seen in the palace. See the person who is very ill and saw people die. Siddartha realizes that his father mengungkungnya in the palace, to protect her so she does not see things like that.

In the era of globalization along with the development of science and technology and information, human meanings and functions that are required to take small roles at work in all aspects of life both as a creator, maintainer and buster. What human being is created, maintained and melted down by the strength and the ability of humans but is only limited. Therefore mankind always introspective and self interospeksi against the weaknesses and limitations.
Thus, as humans do not become proud and arrogant whenever it had the ability and more power among the creation Hyang Widhi. Precisely sbagai more aware of the nature of human and spiritual identity in order to enhance the spiritual to the Brahman the Creator. Empu Kuturan stated:

Ikang citta hetu nikang atma pamukti swarga, citta hetu ning atma tibeng naraka, citta hetu nimittanyan pangdadi tiryak, citta hetunyan pengjanma manusia, citta hetunya pananggihaken kamoksan mwang kalepasan, nimitanya nihan

Shiva Ratri

The celebration of Shiva Ratri is one of the Hindu ceremony that teaches to always maintain self-awareness to avoid sin and papa. Recognized or not, people often forget, because they have limitations, often forget that, then every year on sasih kepitu (the seventh month according to Balinese calendar), held a ceremony of Shiva Ratri.

In the Bhagavadgita III, 42, otherwise, people will have a clear mind, if the pure atman or soul it is always illuminated budhi or nature of consciousness. Budhi (awareness) that controls Manah (mind). Manah master the senses. The condition of the structural nature of mind and is ideal as it is very difficult to obtain. He had always strived to generate trust in God as a repellent darkness of the soul. Shiva Ratri (Ratri also often written Latri) is a night to focus on Sanghyang Shiva in order to gain awareness to avoid dark thoughts. Therefore, Shiva Ratri is more accurately called "night of consciousness" or "night pejagraan", not "night of atonement" as often interpreted by people who still do not go into religion.

Shiva Ratri is essentially Namasmaranâm activities in Siwa. Namasmaranâm means always remember and revere the name of the Lord that if dihubungankan with Shiva Ratri is the name of Shiva. Name of Shiva has the power to obliterate all mental delusion. If it gets light from the darkness Hyang Shiva, it gives birth budhi much needed awareness of each moment in life. Thus, Shiva Ratri ceremony did not actually have to do every year, but can be carried out once every month, ie every Tilem or months before death. Whereas before Tilem kepitu (Tilem the darkest) held a ceremony called Maha Shiva Ratri.

In order to achieve awareness, we can purify ourselves by doing Python. In Lontar Wraspati Tattwa mentioned, Python ngaranya netya majapa maradina sarira. Python it means to do japa and cleanse the body. Medium Sarasamuscaya book mentions, Dhyana ngaranya Ikang Siwasmarana, that is, dhyana name (if) always remember Hyang Shiva.

In India, every dead before the month (every month) Hindus held Shiva Ratri and each year celebrate the Maha Shiva Ratri. Brata virtue of Shiva Ratri many libraries are described in Sanskrit language, Old Javanese and Balinese. It's an omen, that Shiva Ratri from long ago has been celebrated by both Hindus in India, as well as in Java and Bali. In Sanskrit literature, the primacy of Shiva Ratri Brata kitabkitab described in the Puranas, for example, Shiva Purana, Skanda Purana, Garuda Purana and Padma Purana. Shiva Purana, on the virtues of fasting Jnana Samhita describes Shiva Ratri and grammar-how to celebrate the holy night terbut. There were loaded on a dialogue between a man named Suta and the RSI. In conversation, someone who is cruel dikisahkanl named Rurudruha. He became aware of the sins that have been done after fasting Shiva Ratri. Thanks to the rise of consciousness, he left behind all acts of sin, and with a steady walk in the ways of dharma.

Clean and Healthy Lifestyle Viewed from the Perspective of Hinduism

Human life which can not be separated from the influence of Hyang Widhi omnipotence, in Hindu doctrine consists of two aspects, namely the real or "scale" and not real aspects or "abstract".
Scale aspect is something that clearly and directly can be done through the thinking (cognitive), which also produces emotions and behavior, can then be perceived through the senses.
Abstract aspect contains belief in religious teachings that affect inner peace through vibrations sanctity which results can not be perceived through the senses. Both integral and therefore need to be considered jointly.
In the context of clean and healthy lifestyle there are also aspects of scale and Atharwa noetic as stipulated in the Vedas, then Western psychologists: Sperman & Reven (1938) states that the ideal conditions for clean and healthy life, or "Living Healthy" includes the following elements: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual.
Some Hindu scholars argue that cleanse the body, mind, soul (atma) and reason (reason) is carried out together, as mentioned in one sloka Silakrama:
ADBHIR GATRANI SUDYANTHI, Manah STYENA SUDYANTHI, WIDYATTAPOBHYAM BHRTATMA, BUDHIR JNANENA SUDYATI

Meaning: The body is cleaned with water, cleaned with the honesty of mind, soul (atman) is cleaned with science, and reason (reason) is cleaned with wisdom.

My opinion is somewhat different with Sperman & Reven in the order only, as follows: Spiritual, Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, and Social Affairs with the consideration that the elements belonging Spiritual noetic aspect of great influence on the elements of Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, and Social.
Four of the latter I have classified the aspects of scale.
Clean and Healthy Lifestyle on abstract aspects can be described as the sanctity of the atman (soul / spirit), mind and intellect (mind) obtained from an ongoing effort to learn and implement the teachings of the Hindu Religion in everyday life (spiritual life) .
Starting point is a strong sense of Hyang Widhi.
There are Orthodox or Hindu view that introducing Astika Sad Dharsana (six philosophy), namely: Mimansa, Vedanta, Sankhya, Yoga, Nyaya, and Vaisesika.
Among the interesting thing is Nyaya philosophy states that belief in the existence of Hyang Widhi obtained through four pramana (knowledge), namely:
1. Religion Pramana (studying the sacred books)
2. Pratiyaksa Pramana (felt or experienced directly with clear and tangible)
3. Anumana Pramana (draw conclusions based on the logic of the elements of motion, causality, necessity, perfection, and regularity)
4. Upamana Pramana (analogy, that conclusion based on comparison of the elements of metaphor / creation, structural / material creation, and causal / effect of a cause)

After believing the greatness and power of human Hyang Widhi then find a way to Him through chess clans:
1. Bhakti Marga (worship, revere, honor and cherish)
2. Karma Marga (work, do achieve the goal of life is based on the teachings of the Vedas)
3. Jnana Marga (studying the scriptures as a source of knowledge and then pass it to the people as possible)
4. Yoga Marga (though body and mind to connect the atma with Parama Atma)

The four roads are not exercised individually, but simultaneously by balancing the weight of his own abilities. In chess clans to take it there are signs that should be implemented Religion, among others:
1. Chess Purushaarta: dharma, artha, kama, and moksa, that the order should not be exchanged because no artha can be obtained without going through the dharma; not be obtained without artha kama, so no moksa obtained without going through the dharma, artha, and kama.
2. Sistacara: the holy life that form the moral.
3. Sadacara: obey the rules or legislation are valid.
4. Atmanastusti: maintain a pure conscience.
5. Sad to distance themselves from Tatayi: agnida (burn or scold someone's house), wisada (poison people), atharwa (wearing black magic), sastraghna (rampage), dratikrama (rape), rajapisuna (slander)
6. Alert on existing Ripu Sad to us: kama (lust), greedy (greedy), kroda (anger), mada (drunk), moha (pride), matsarya (jealousy, envy, envy).
7. Implement Trikaya Parisudha: Kayika (good deeds, namely: do not kill, steal, commit adultery); wacika (good word, that does not say anything rude, dirty and slander, and telling the truth); manacika (good thoughts, namely: do not envy the person belongs to another, believe in the law of karma phala, and dear to all beings).
8. Always do Asada Brata: dharma (obey the essence of truth), satya (loyal to the homeland, nation, country), tapas (self control), dama (calm and patient), wimatsarira (no envy, jealousy, greed), hrih (have shame), titiksa (not upset), anasuya (not bad tempered), Yadnya (sacrifice), fund (philanthropist), dhrti (purify themselves), ksama (forgiving).
9. The ability to control Dasa Indria: srotendria (hearing), twakindria (tentacle / skin), granendria (olfactory), caksundria (vision), wakindria (tongue), panindria (hand movements), payundria (defecate), jihwendria (footwork) , pastendria (genitals).
10. Self-control through Yama Brata: anrsamsa (not selfish), ksama (forgiving), satya (faithful), ahimsa (not kill / hurt), dama (patient and calm), arjawa (sincere), pritih (compassion), prasada (do not think badly), madhurya (genuinely sweet-faced), mardawa (gentle).
11. Enforcing discipline through Niyama Brata: fund (philanthropist), ijya (worship), Tapa (self control), dhyana (realize the greatness of Hyang Widhi), swadhyaya (study hard), upasthanigraha (maintaining the sanctity of sexual relations), fasting (curb appetite), upawasa (fasting), mona (speaking carefully), snana (maintain the purity of the heart).
12. Chess Set in the Ashrama of life, namely: brahmacari (learning / study), griya cubits (settle down and develop a descendant), wanaprasta (reducing the bond to the pleasures of the world), bhiksuka (purify themselves with mewinten / mediksa).

If properly implemented the four clans then humans will have the sad order:
1. Sandhi (easy to get out of the difficulty of living)
2. Wigrha (influential)
3. Jana (his words obeyed)
4. There (always be able to adjust to the environment)
5. Wisesa (wise, authoritative, easy to conquer adharma)
6. Srya (to get sympathy / groove)

Individuals in sad circumstances in order to bias the vibration on the human group around him so terwujudlah society characterized by:
1. Satyam (religious)
2. Siwam (affection)
3. Sundaram (prosperous material and immaterial)

Satyam, Siwam, Sundaram are the elements that determine the human effort to reach moksartham jagadhita (happiness born / inner).
Clean and Healthy Lifestyle in aspects of scale can be described as self-hygiene and health (physical) as well as hygiene and environmental health.
Cleanliness and personal hygiene should be maintained because the body (sarira) a clean and healthy people can carry out chess Purusha artha, which are: dharma, artha, kama, and moksa, as mentioned in the Brahma Purana 228.45:
DHARMA ARTHA KAMA MOKSHANAM SARIRA SADANAM

Agency should be maintained so that should not be used for purposes other than achieving chess Purusha artha; if there is deviation mean life wasted.
Maintain cleanliness, health and purity in body Patanjali Yoga Sutra teachings referred to as sauca. Sauca sacred meaning mentally and physically through cleanliness and health of body and purity of the heart.
Therefore, the base of the cleanliness of health, the health agency can affect the purity of the soul. Similarly, the sanctity of life can affect physical health.
Body in the Book of Wrehaspati Tattwa called stula sarira consists of five mahabutha elements, namely earth, Apah, wind, Teja, and akasa. Health is achieved when a balance was maintained with the five elements of the composition of the Tri Guna, namely Satwam, Rajas, and Tamas.
Satwam involves a calm, Rajas concerning the activities of appropriate agencies with the physical ability and Tamas regarding the need to give sufficient time to rest / relax / berrekreasi.
Efforts to maintain health or five mahabutha balance in the body according to Ayur Veda done in three ways, namely:

First: to keep food (Ahara). Not just any food good for health. Food is good and beneficial for the body referred to as Satvika Ahara.

Bhagawadgita XVII (Sraddhatraya vibhaga yoga)

Article 8:
AYUHSATTVABALAROGYA, SUKHAPRITIVIVARDHANAH, RASYAH SNIGDHAH STHIRA HRIDYA, AHARAH SATTVIKAPRIYAH

Food that gives life, strength, energy, health, happiness and joy that feels delicious, tender, refreshing and tasty well-liked (sattvika).

Article 9:

KATVAMLALAVANATYUSHNA, TIKSHNARUKSHAVIDAHINAH, AHARA RAJASASYE SHTA, DUHKHASOKAMAYAPRADAH

The bitter foods (not drugs), sour, salty, spicy, lots of spices, hard, and scorched that cause distress, misery and disease.

Article 10:

YATAYAMAM GATARASAM, Puti PARYUSHITAM Yat CHA, CHA API UCHCHHISTAM MEDHYAM, BHOJANAM TAMASAPRIYAM

Food is obsolete, lost feeling, rotten, smelly, the former / the remains and do not clean the food is very bad.

In conclusion, good food is food that is useful for:

* Extending the life (Ayuh)
* Purifying atma (satvika)
* Gives physical strength (bala)
* Maintain health (arogya)
* To give a sense of happiness (sukha)
* Satisfactory (priti)
* Improving the status of life (vivar dhanah)

good food should:

* Contains extracts (rasyah)
* A little fat (snigdhah)
* Durable (sthitah)
* Fun (hrdyah)
* No damage or drunken memories (Amada)

Second: the monastery, which is behaving fairly, for example, no late nights, late meals (except being upawasa), intent to hold waste water, adjacent to the contagious diseased people, excessive sleep, and entertain themselves excessively.

Third: with Ausada, which regularly drink herbal (slack) is made from plants. In addition, the agency also needs to be treated with a balance of motion and circulation of energy (prana) throughout the body such as with exercise, or the Hindu religion by doing Yoga Asanas and Pranayama regularly every day.

Hygiene and environmental health should be maintained as closely related to hygiene and human health. The meaning of environment is the universe.

Ganapati ejection Tattwa in Chapter I outlines that at the beginning of the creation of the universe (Bhuwana General), Hyang Widhi in its manifestations as Panca Dewata preserve the nature as follows:

1. Brahma is located in the south keep the earth (earth)
2. Vishnu in the north keep the water (Apah)
3. Rudra in the west to keep the sun, moon, and stars (Teja)
4. Iswara in the east to keep the air (wind)
5. Sadasiwa in the middle to keep the ether (akasa)

Pertiwi, Apah, Teja, wind, and akasa called Panca Mahabutha. When everything is taken care of and after the creation of animals and plants then Panca Dewata created man as follows:

1. Brahma and Vishnu created the body by means of the ground (earth) and water (Apah)
2. Rudra create eye from Teja
3. Iswara creating a breath of wind
4. Sadasiwa create the sound of the akasa

The five elements that make up the human body is referred to as Bhuwana Alit. Thus it is clear that elements of the Great Bhuwana same elements Bhuwana Alit. Or in other words the human body were known as the Panca Mahabutha.

If people want to live clean and healthy then the man also has an obligation to maintain clean and healthy Bhuwana Great, because if the Supreme Bhuwana not clean and healthy not impossible human can live clean and healthy.

In the teachings of the Bhakti Marga chess clans mentioned that a form of love for a devotee to Hyang Widhi also reflected in the love and affection to all His creation, including the universe.

Book Manawa Dharmasastra Chapter IV (Atha Caturtho Dhyayah)

Article 52:

PRATYAGNIM PRATISURYAM CA PRATISOMODAKAD WIJAN, CA PRATIWATAM PRATIGAN Prajna NASYATI MEHATAH

Maintain cleanliness and good health in scale as well as abstract as those mentioned above is not only a human obligation religious individuals, but also the responsibility of government as taught by the Rishis Kautilia Nitisastra Chanakya in the book, that a king (head of government) shall maintain preservation of natural resources, clean housing, physical and spiritual health of its people for a strong prosperous and peaceful country.

Overview History and Development of Hinduism

History and Development of Hinduism started briefly as follows: Vedic thought is revealed by Hyang Widhi since 2500 years to 1500 years BC. Vedas are not revealed at once, but gradually over a distance of approximately 1000 years and was accepted by seven Maha Rsi (Sapta Rsi), namely: Grtsamada, Viswamitra, Wamadewa, Atri, Bharadwaja, Wasista, and Kanwa.

The Maha Rsi was lowered revelation in the form of the teachings to his followers. One of his followers named Bhagawan Abyasa collecting and collating the revelations that and it becomes four Vedas (Vedas Chess), namely: Reg Vedas, Vedic Yayur, Same Vedas, and Atharwa Vedas. The followers of the seven Supreme Rsi that each developed his teachings to the people so that gradually formed sects of Hindus in India which amount to hundreds. The sects biggest followers include: Shiva Sidanta, Pasupata, Linggayat, Bhagawata, Vaishnava, Indra, Saura, etc..
Revelation received difficult to absorbed by the layman then made a commentary-commentary in the form: Brahmans, Upanishads, Wyakarana, Nirukta, Jyotisa, Kalpana, Itihasa, Ayur Veda, Veda Gandarwa, Danur Vedas, and the Kama sutra.
Shiva sect arose in India Sidanta Central, then evolved into South India under the leadership of Maha Rsi Agastya. One disciple Maha Rsi Agastya expand to Indonesia in the 8th century AD.
Hindu teachings of this sect Sidanta Shiva Linga with emphasis on worship in the form of manifestation Hyang Widhi Tri Murti: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and Tri Purusa: Siwa, Sada Shiva, Parama Shiva.
Words Sidanta Shiva meaning "teachings of Shiva's conclusions." Vedas are called Vedic sirah be explored, namely the Vedas which includes the important parts only; sirah means subjects.
The teachings of Shiva Sidanta brought from Java to Bali by the Supreme Rsi generation 10th century AD, namely Mpu Kuturan and Maha Rsi generation 14th century AD, namely Danghyang Nirarta.

MPU Kuturan disseminate understand Tri Murti, wrote lontar, among others: Kusumadewa, Ngaben, Dharma Kauripan, build and Sad Tri Goda Goda.
Danghyang Tri Purusa Nirarta develop understanding, building Padmasana, and Panca Yadnya.
Some of the palm which has now been recorded many who need to know by the adherents of the sect of Shiva Sidanta, among others: Wrhaspati Tattwa, Ganapati Tattwa, Bhuwanakosa, Bhagawadgita, Sarasamuscaya, Wedaparikrama, Manawa Dharmasastra, Parasara Dharmasastra, and Eka Pratama.
Also understand the descriptions adopted by the MPU Kuturan and Danghyang Nirarta as mentioned above should also be explored.
In bookstores now widely available books that are not clear Hinduism say whether the author followed the sect of Shiva Sidanta understand or sect to another.
That is why there is the possibility of a description in the book yng one different and even conflicting with the description in another book like that you have encountered.
That's also why those who study Hinduism need the guidance of a nabe / Teacher for books can be chosen where appropriate.
Another thing to note is the presence of the prostrating Chess Marga our devotion to Hyang Widhi. Chess clans are: Bhakti Marga, Karma Marga, Jnana Marga and Yoga Marga.
The four genera that should be done gradually starting from Bhakti Marga, like the kids as a child just simply follow the procedures performed prayers and mesaiban father / mother without further prayer and mesaiban Tattwa know it.
Karma Marga also widely adopted by those who only work in counseling pursue Hyang Widhi in life. Increasing age and education increases the desire to know more and more widespread, so that bhakti and karma clan it is still not satisfactory, then take Jnana Marga, to learn about tattwa, srada, ceremony, etc..
When has a lot to know and feel is "close" to Him, to do Yoga Marga, although at this level that other clans remain. Feelings of "close" to Him will grow on its own based on spiritual experiences.
When such circumstances carried with a steady focus on the belief in Shiva Sidanta understand there will be no confidence that floats.
