Galungan Kuningan in Bali

The word "Galungan" comes from the Kuna language Java which means winning or fight. Galungan also the same meaning also means winning. Therefore, in Java, the eleventh wuku called Wuku Galungan, while in Bali wukunya Wuku Dungulan. Different name, but means the same. As in Java in the details pancawara, called Umanis in Bali, which means the same: sweet.
Quite difficult to ensure how the origin of this Feast Galungan. When Galungan actually have in Indonesia, especially in Java and in other areas in particularly in Bali. Drs. I Gusti Agung Gede Putra (former Director General of the Ministry of Religious Affairs) estimate, Galungan has long been celebrated in the Hindu India before the holiday on the island of Bali. This allegation is based on the Java language Lontar Kuna called Kindung pennon Amalat Rasma. Galungan is celebrated outside of Bali and also whether the same name Galungan, still unsolved with certainty.
But in Bali, which provides a point source of light. According to the Purana Bali Lontar Dwipa, Galungan first Purnama Kapat, Buddha Kliwon Dungulan, Saka year 804 or 882 years BC. Lontar is mentioned in: ngawit, Bu, Ka, Dungulan Sasia Kacatur, 15, Isaka 804. Build Indria Buwana Ikang Bali Rajya.
This means:
Celebration (ceremony) Hari Raya Galungan the first is on Wednesday Kliwon, (Wuku) Dungulan sasih 804 Saka. Circumstances like the island of Bali Indra Loka.
Since then continue Galungan celebrated by people of Hindu royally. After the celebrated Galungan, suddenly - either what pertimbangannya basis - in the year 1103 Saka celebration feast is stopped. That holds Ekajaya calyx government. Galungan also have not celebrated when the calyx. During Galunan not celebrated, it seems natural coming all the stopping. Age officials kingdom seems to be short.
When Sri Dhanadi mangkat and replaced Raja Sri Jayakasunu in the year 1126 Saka, the Galungan that had more or less forgotten for 23 years. This information can be seen in Sri Lontar Jayakasunu. Lontar in the state that King Sri Jayakasunu feel wonder why the king and the officials before the king is always short, peyebabnya, Raja Sri Jayakasunu a form of asceticism and samadhi which in Bali is famous with the self-term approach to the gods. Dewa Sraya is done in the Pura Dalem Puri, not far from the Pura Besakih. When form of asceticism, the King of Sri Jayakasunu get pawisik or "whisper religious" from Durgha Goddess, the sacred pawisik Dewi Durgha requested the King to return to Sri Jayakasunu celebrate Galungan every Wednesday Kliwon tradition as it has effect. In addition, it is recommended that all people are Hindu Galungan install penjor (one day before Galungan). Also mentioned, the core principal Penampahan Galungan day celebration is the ceremony that aims to deliver the strength of negative (Bhuta Kala) of the human self and the environment. Jayakasunu get religious whispering that, Galungan celebrated again with the wisdom and rousing the people by Hindu.

Philosophical meaning GALUNGAN
Galungan is a sacred ritual that gives spiritual strength to be able to distinguish which of adharma and Budhi Atma from which the form of a voice of truth (dharma) in humans.
It also provides the ability to make trend keraksaan (Asura sampad) and (god sampad). Must realize that life is happy life is ananda or who have a tendency keraksasaan.
Galungan is also one of the Hindu religious ceremony to remind people of the ritual and spiritual Sampad Dewi will be to uphold the dharma adharma. In Lontar Sunarigama, Galungan and play with the details. About the meaning of Galungan Lontar in Sunarigama described as follows:
Buddha Kliwon Dungulan ngaran Galungan patitis ikang janyana samadhi, beam apadang maryakena sarwa byapa.
This means:
Wednesday Kliwon Dungulan name Galungan, bersatunya spiritual drive to get the views of all the clutter off your mind.
Thus, the core is Galungan unify spiritual strength to get the mind and the establishment of light. Together with the light of this is self-existent in the dharma. While all that clutter your mind (byaparaning eyelash) is a draft Lontar Sunarigama this is the conclusion that the substance was found Galungan is celebrating winning adharma.
Dharma is to win a series of activities that are conducted before and after Galungan. Before Sugihan Java and Bali Sugihan. Javanese word here is the same as the Jaba, meaning outside, meaning Java Sugihan (earth) outside of human beings. Java Sugihan celebrated on the day Wrhaspati wage Wuku Sungsang, six days before Lontar Sundarigama mentioned that on the day sugihan Java is Pasucian Dewa Kalinggania (of god, because that day of all Bhatara).
Uapcara implementation of this is to clean all the equipment and ceremonies in their respective on Friday Kliwon Wuku Sungsang mentioned: Kalinggania amretista average tawulan (hence their own). Therefore Sugihan Bali mentioned cleanse themselves. Bali word in Sanskrit means in itself. And it is purified.
On Redite Paing Wuku Dungulan told Sang Kala Tiga Wisesa down with the man. Because it is recommended anyekung jnana means: calm mind so do not be penetrated by Butha Galungan. In Lontar nirmalakena (who always pikirannya holy) will not be penetrated by Butha Galungan.
On Monday Dungulan called Pon Penyajaan Galungan. On this day people who understand yoga on veneration. In Lontar mentioned, "Pangastawaning the ngamong yoga samadhi." On the day Anggara Wage wuku Penampahan Galungan. On the day this is considered to be the day for the ceremony with Butha Galungan banten byakala called pamyakala lara melaradan. Most people on this day slaughter pigs. But the meaning is on this should kill the nature of brutality in ourselves.
Therefore the order of the ceremony preceded Galungan. After the feast Galungan Thursday Umanis Wuku Galungan. On this day people remember how beautiful victory dharma. People in general through a visit to the places of entertainment, especially the beautiful panorama. Also visiting relatives.
Next day is Saturday Dungulan called Pon day Pemaridan Teachers. On this day, symbolized grace and leave the form kedirghayusan long healthy life that is age. On this day people are encouraged and they matirta gocara. The ceremony is meaningful, the people enjoy waranugraha Dewata.
On Friday called the Wage Kuningan Kuningan Penampahan day. In Lontar Sundarigama is not performed. Only advisable to do spiritual activities which is mentioned in the Lontar Sapuhakena malani dinginess mind. The next day, Saturday Kliwon called Kuningan. Lontar Sundarigama mentioned in the offering on the day this should be carried out in the morning and avoid the ceremony menghaturkan through noon or noon on Dewata and Dewa Pitara "told" to return to Swarga (Dewa mur mwah maring Swarga).
Thus the meaning of Galungan and Kuningan reviewed from the perspective of the ritual.

Macam-Macam GALUNGAN
Although Galungan is called "Rerahinan gumi" means all people must carry out, there are also differences. Based on the sources of literature Lontar and traditions that have been run from century to century was known as the Galungan (without supplement), and Nadi Galungan Nara Galungan prey. Explanation is as follows:
Galungan is a feast that must be done by people of Hindu dharma to celebrate victory against adharma information. Lontar Sundarigama mentioned in "Buda Kliwon Dungulan ngaran Galungan". That is, Galungan is celebrated wuku Dungulan. So it Galungan, celebrated every 210 days as the primary measure used is Galungan Wara and Wuku. Kala Panca Waranya Kliwon, Sapta Waranya Wednesday, and Wukunya Dungulan, when bertemunya day Raya Galungan.
Galungan Nadi, galungan first celebrated by the Hindu people in Bali Bali based Lontar Purana Dwipa Galungan is a fall on the sasih Kapat (Kartika) 15 (Purnama) year 804 Saka (882 BC) or in October.
Mentioned in Lontar, the island of Bali that time was first celebrated Galungan like Indra Loka. Meriahnya the Galungan at the time. The difference with Galungan is normal in terms of kemeriahannya. Indeed is a tradition among the Hindu religious ceremony that is a fall on the full moon, they will do more flamboyant ceremony. For example ngotonin ritual or ceremony wuku days, coinciding with the full moon when they perform the ceremony with a major and more and more confidence that the glorious full moon day is the day that blessed by the gods Sanghyang Ketu brilliance. Therefore Galungan, coinciding with the month called Purnama Nadi this comes very rarely, namely approximately every 10 years.
Galungan Nara prey, coinciding with the fall tilem sasih Kapitu or sasih Kesanga. In Lontar Sundarigama are as follows:
'Yan Galungan nuju sasih Kapitu, Tilem Galungan, mwang sasih kesanga, rah 9, tenggek 9, Nara Galungan prey. "
This means:
When wuku Dungulan coincides with sasih Kapitu, Tilem Galungannya and coincided with the ninth sasih Nara prey Galungan name. In Lontar Sanghyang Aji Swamandala the things that have almost the same.
Nihan Bhatara Dalem ring ring pamalan dina wong Bali, poma hywa lali elingakna. Yan tekaning sasih kapitu mwang tilem ring Galungan ika, tan handed ngegalung wong Baline, Kala Rau ngaranya the mengkana. Tan yan anemu mwah sasih Kesanga, rah 9, tenggek 9, single kalawan sasih Kapitu, sigug ya mengaba gering ngara Baline pabanten caru ika, rice maoran digital keladi, tan yan anuhut ring ring Bhatara Dalem yadnya manurun denira Balagadabah.
This means:
This is the instructions Bhatara in the Pura Dalem (about) unclean days (bad days) for people, hopefully not forget, Kapitu coincides with wuku Dungulan and Tilem, Galungan on it, can not celebrate Galungan. Therefore not justified menghaturkan offerings which include tumpeng. And if you concur with sasih Kesanga means with sasih kapitu. Not that good, to bring the disease. People should conduct the ceremony was rice mixed with cassava digital keladi. When not following the instructions in the Pura Dalem Bhatara (meaning if by Balagadabah).
Thus two sources of the libraries in Java Lontar Kuna describes Galungan Nara Sundarigama mentioned that on the day Nara prey Galungan mentioned "god Mauneb bhuta down" that (but) Bhutakala present. This means that Galungan Nara prey Galungan is a giant, meat eater, on the day of Galungan Nara prey Galungan ceremony not held properly, especially not "tumpeng Galungan". Galungan Nara prey on people is recommended menghaturkan caru, digital form of rice.
Therefore understanding Galungan Nara prey. Implementation Galungan ceremonies in Bali are usually illustrated with the length described in Lontar Usana Bali as a symbol, between race adharma against dharma is represented as the god Indra adharma represented by Mayadanawa. Mayadanawa told to believe in the existence of God and not believe in the superiority religious ceremonies.

GALUNGAN IN INDIA
Hindu feast day to remind people on the fight between adharma also carried out against the dharma. Even likely, the feast day Galungan in Indonesia get inspiration or reconstructed Wijaya Dasami in India. This can be seen from the words "Wijaya" (Sanskrit) bersinonim with the word "win".
Feast Wijaya Dasami in India called the "Feast of Dasara." The core Wijaya Dasani also Galungan and Kuningan. Before the summit, nine nights during the Hindu ceremony in there doing Nawa Ratri (meaning nine nights). Nawa Ratri ceremony was conducted with a ceremony in persembahyangan resident houses. Nawa Ratri further emphasize spiritual values as a basis for the struggle. On the tenth day then Wijaya Dasani or Dasara. Wijaya Dasani more pressing in the sense of splendor to the public.
Feast Wijaya Dasani celebrated twice a year with the calculation of Surya years. Celebration conducted in Waisaka (April). Dasara celebration in April Waisaka or Durgha also called Nawa Ratri is a celebration for the victory against the dharma adharma stories with illustrations Dewa victory over the giant Durgha hiding in the body that is Mahasura ox raksaas a very sacred, and given the nickname Dewi Durgha. Dewi Durgha India be depicted in a very beautiful goddess of love goddess believed and very sacred. The magic is strong in India, which has the ability kesaktian indeed the most high value. Unlike the in Bali, said the magic word is often defined as haunted, eerie, very scary.
Feast Durgha Nawa Ratri is the struggle to achieve love of God. A gift of love the grace of the most high value. To combat adharma first capailah grace of God as love is God's most powerful weapons against adharma.
While the ceremony Wijaya Dasani in Kartika (October) called Rama Nawa Ratri. At Rama Nawa Ratri on Sri Rama as Vishnu Awatara. During the nine nights of the religious activities of the spiritual weight to get the victory and the spiritual, violence carnality. On the tenth day of celebrating victory Wijaya Dasani or tenth day. On this day, the city became crowded. Everywhere as a symbol of victory. Generally people make ogoh-ogoh shaped Rahwana, Kumbakarna or Supla high and the circumference diarak troop. General in the field have been prepared showing the existing model figures Rama, Sita, and Laksmana Anoman.
Peak attraction of dharma is the struggle of Sri Rama release the arrow on the stage that has been there. Arrow that is set such that the ogoh-ogoh Rahwana kena arrow Sri Rama, ogoh-ogoh the community penontonpun be happy sorai ria. People who exhibit themselves as Sri Rama, Goddess Sita got extraordinary homage from the people who attend Hindu religious attraction is. Children-archery arrows to overcome their pride adharma.
If we see the meaning feast Wijaya Dasani is held twice a year ie in April (Waisaka) (Kartika) are two of the means to get the love of God. Love that man very formidable to overcome adharma. Meanwhile, in the month of October or the Kartika Rama. Sri Rama is Vishnu as the god Awatara Pengayoman or dharma protectors. So it can be a feast of Wijaya Dasani is getting affection and protection of God. Affection and protection force that must be achieved by man to win the dharma. Victory is the dharma of birth occurs when the inner happiness.
Victory of birth or inner dharma subjugate adharma is a need for daily living. if we can achieve happiness at any time, then it is like living a life that didambakan by everyone. So that each Buddhist Kliwon Dungulan, people are reminded through the Galungan holiday berdimensi ritual and spirit.
