Hari Raya Nyepi is a beautiful and significant event in the Balinese Hindu calendar, known as the 'Day of Silence'. This day is characterized by inactivity, fasting, and self-reflection. Nyepi day, which falls on March 28, 2023, lasts for 24 hours, starting from 6:00 am WITA. During this time, Balinese Hindus observe the 'Catur Brata Penyepian,' which includes four prohibitions: no working, traveling, fire, or entertainment. Emergency services are the only ones allowed to operate during Nyepi, and the island's airports and seaports are closed. The Nyepi celebration includes several rituals such as the Melasti and Ogoh-ogoh ceremonies, which involve the purification of sacred objects and the symbolization of evil spirits. The day after Nyepi, the Ngembak Geni ceremony takes place, where people visit temples and offer prayers and offerings. One of the significant impacts of Nyepi is the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and electricity consumption in Bali. Reports indicate that electricity consumption drops by around 700 MW, equivalent to 40% of the island's total daily electricity demand, due to the closure of businesses and reduced transportation. This reduction has a positive impact on the environment and results in a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions. In addition to environmental benefits, the reduction in electricity consumption during Nyepi has economic benefits, saving the island around IDR 12.2 billion (approximately USD 823,000) in electricity costs in 2019. Nyepi is a friendly cultural event that promotes energy efficiency and reduces carbon emissions while preserving Balinese culture and tradition. It is an excellent example of how cultural events can have a positive impact on the environment and the economy. Overall, Hari Raya Nyepi is a clear #trihitakarana statement that highlights the beauty of Balinese tradition, culture and nature (at Bali, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-PmtjP6OOovMDJK8ezeXg9jyzDtohi2ydq8g0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

LARUNG SESAJI...

.

.

Masyarakat Jawa memiliki berbagai cara dalam mengungkapkan rasa syukur mereka kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

Salah satunya adalah dengan menggelar upacara atau ritual larung saji atau larung sesaji. Ritual ini merupakan bentuk sedekah alam yang dilakukan sebagai perwujudan rasa syukur kepada Yang Maha Kuasa yang telah melimpahkan rejeki terutama dalam bentuk hasil bumi bagi masyarakat.

Selain itu, upacara ini juga di maksudkan sebagai bentuk permohonan rejeki dan keselamatan.

Upacara larung saji ini dapat di temukan di berbagai daerah di pulau Jawa terutama di daerah yang berdekatan dengan pantai, misalnya daerah Blitar, Pacitan, Banyuwangi, Jogjakarta, Pacitan, Gunung Kidul, Pangandaran, Pelabuhan Ratu dan Madura.

Waktu pelaksanaannya sendiri berbeda-beda, tergantung dari kepercayaan masyarakat sekitar.

Sebagai contoh, di daerah Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur, ritual larung saji ( masyarakat Banyuwangi menyebutnya sebagai upacara petik laut ) di lakukan pada hari rabu terakhir pada bulan Sapar.

Masyarakat mempercayai bahwa hari tersebut merupakan hari turunnya wabah penyakit dan bencana, sehingga di harapkan ritual petik laut yang di lakukan akan menghalau bencana yang ada.

Inti dari upacara larung saji ini adalah melarungkan atau menghanyutkan sesaji yang terbuat dari bahan-bahan hasil bumi masyarakat sekitar.

Pada umumnya, sesaji yang akan di larungkan berupa Tumpeng Agung atau tumpeng berukuran besar setinggi 1 hingga 1,5 meter yang terbuat dari beras putih atau beras merah.

Tumpeng ini kemudian di hias dan di lengkapi dengan berbagai jenis buah dan sayuran serta hasil bumi masyarakat sekitar seperti pepaya, pisang, kacang panjang, ketela dan berbagai hasil bumi lainnya.

Sesaji tersebut di atur dan di tata di atas anyaman bambu yang nantinya akan di larungkan ke laut.

Selain sesaji dalam bentuk makanan dan hasil bumi, sering juga di sertakan kelengkapan ritual lainnya berupa kepala sapi.

Ritual ini di mulai dengan melakukan do'a selamatan yang di pimpin oleh para sesepuh desa.

Setelah itu, sesaji tersebut akan di arak dari tempat sesaji menuju ke pinggir laut.

Sesampainya dipinggir laut, sesaji tersebut akan di serahkan kepada sekelompok nelayan yang bertugas melarungkan sesaji tersebut.

Sesaji ini di letakkan di atas perahu, kemudian di bawa hingga ke tengah laut sebelum akhirnya di lepaskan dan di bawa oleh ombak menuju samudra luas.

Proses pelepasan sesaji ini pada umumnya tidak di lakukan sendiri.

Masyarakat sekitar biasanya turut menyertai pelepasan sesaji di tengah laut dengan menggunakan perahu nelayan yang telah di hias seindah mungkin, yang membuat prosesi ini menjadi lebih meriah.

Saat ini ritual larung saji bukan hanya menjadi sebuah tradisi belaka, melainkan juga telah menjadi daya tarik wisata tersendiri.

Setiap tahunnya, prosesi larung saji mampu menarik ratusan wisatawan baik yang berasal dari daerah sekitar hingga wisatawan yang berasal dari luar negeri sehingga tidak heran bila pemerintah daerah setempat seperti di daerah Blitar, menjadikan ritual larung saji ini sebagai salah satu agenda tahunan yang akan di hadiri oleh Bupati dan segenap pimpinan daerah.

BAGAIMANA DI PULAU DEWATA...?

Meraih Kesucian Diri Menjelang Nyepi dalam Upacara Melasti

Tahun baru Saka bagi umat Hindu Bali merupakan kesempatan untuk memulai kembali kehidupan dengan hati yang suci.

Melalui ritual amati geni pada Hari Raya Nyepi, setiap umat Hindu pada hakikatnya mendapat kesempatan untuk mengevaluasi capaian hidupnya selama satu tahun yang lalu dan menyusun ulang rencana hidup satu tahun mendatang.

Mendahului tahapan tersebut, pada 2 sampai 4 hari menjelang Nyepi, masyarakat Hindu Bali melakukan ritual pensucian diri dan lingkungannya.

Ritual tersebut dinamakan upacara melasti.

Upacara melasti atau melelasti dapat di definisikan sebagai nganyudang malaning gumi ngamet tirta amerta, yang berarti menghanyutkan kotoran alam menggunakan air kehidupan.

Dalam kepercayaan Hindu, sumber air seperti danau dan laut di anggap sebagai asal tirta amerta atau air kehidupan.

Sumber-sumber air tersebut memberikan kehidupan bagi seluruh makhluk hidup, termasuk umat manusia.

Karena itulah, upacara melasti selalu di adakan di tempat-tempat khusus seperti tepi pantai atau tepi danau.

Dalam upacara ini, masyarakat akan datang secara berkelompok ke sumber-sumber air seperti danau dan laut.

Setiap kelompok atau rombongan berasal dari satu kesatuan wilayah yang sama, semisal dari banjar atau desa yang sama.

Setiap rombongan tersebut akan datang dengan membawa perangkat-perangkat keramat peribadahan, yaitu : Arca, Pratima, dan Pralingga dari pura yang ada di wilayah masing-masing untuk di sucikan.

Setiap anggota masyarakat juga menyiapkan sesajian sesuai kemampuan masing-masing.

Sajian ini merupakan bagian dari pelengkap upacara melasti.

Sebelum pelaksanaan ritual, biasanya panitia dari tiap rombongan ( banjar atau desa ) akan menyediakan sebuah meja atau panggung yang di posisikan membelakangi laut atau danau.

Meja ini merupakan tempat untuk meletakkan berbagai perangkat suci peribadahan dari pura beserta beraneka jenis sesajian.

Seluruh anggota rombongan kemudian duduk bersila menghadap ke arah jajaran perangkat ibadah dan sesajian tersebut, sekaligus menghadap ke sumber air suci.

Pemuka agama ( Pemangku ) setempat kemudian akan memimpin berjalannya prosesi upacara.

Para pemangku berkeliling dan memercikkan air suci kepada seluruh anggota masyarakat yang hadir serta perangkat-perangkat peribadatan dan menebarkan asap dupa sebagai wujud pensucian.

Selanjutnya, di lakukan ritual persembahyangan ( Panca sembah ) oleh seluruh anggota rombongan.

Para pemangku lalu akan membagikan air suci dan bija ( Beras yang telah di basahi air suci ).

Air suci tersebut untuk di minum sementara bija akan di bubuhkan ke dahi setiap umat yang datang.

Selepas prosesi tersebut, perangkat-perangkat peribadahan di arak kembali ke pura untuk menjalani beberapa tahapan ritual yang lain.

Untuk menjaga ketertiban pelaksanaan upacara melasti, barisan pecalang ( Polisi adat ) mengatur waktu pelaksanaan yang berbeda bagi setiap daerah (Banjar).

Hal ini dilakukan agar masing-masing daerah dapat melaksanakan ritual dengan khidmat dan optimal.

Karena itu, sepanjang hari keempat hingga hari kedua sebelum Nyepi, di seluruh Bali akan terlihat rombongan masyarakat dengan pakaian sembahyang yang datang silih berganti ke tepi pantai atau danau.
