WEDNESDAY (14/10) the next day, Hindus will celebrate the holiday Galungan. Spiritual preparation to celebrate the”victory”today this has been done since Thursday (8 / 10) which is known as Sugihan Java. While the next day, Friday Kliwon, Sungsang, (9 / 10), called Sugihan Bali.

Many Hindus still confused, celebrate or Sugihan Sugihan Java Bali. They think, Java or Bali is the name of the place, but it is not. The word “Java” here means a compound which means outside. Just as the Balinese call arrivals from outside the from Java always mentioned, even though they are from Lombok, Kalimantan and other places in Indonesia.

Thus, the meaning of the ceremony is a purification Sugihan Java or travel great macrocosm or the universe as a place of life. This cleaning is done with cleaning scale palinggih or holy places are used as a place of worship.

Later in the day Sugihan Balinese Hindus put in offerings that essentially make travel purification or self alit (microcosm), so the net of actions tarnished. With the physical and spiritual purity that, more people can interpret Galungan holy day as a victory of dharma.

On Friday last, the people should do or Tirtayatra gocara tirta ie by going to the ocean – the water source or could be in Mrajan. In yoga practice Sugihan Hindus in Bali did yoga meditation aimed at mulatsarira. To welcome the holiday Galungan, people should have an inner purity by refraining from all kinds of temptations senses.

Thus, Sugihan Sugihan Java and Bali when viewed from the concept of Hindus prepare to face the temptations that come before duniawai holiday Galungan. In both these Sugihan, bhinneda rwa strength at the point sought to balance toward the peace and quiet.

Lecturer University of Hindu Indonesia (Unhi) Denpasar Wayan Yasa Like it says, the most fundamental principles in the celebration of Galungan and Kuningan is the upholding of dharma. To uphold the dharma that there must be a process of purification and travel great travel alit. That process begins when Sugihan. Sugi”means”clean. If the Balinese people Sugihan membersihan or purify alit globe, while the associated Java Sugihan do outside of purification (travel great). This process of spiritual ascent through rerahinan penyajan (Apang just nyujatiang sports – pledged to uphold dharma). To uphold the dharma must be no attempt to eliminate the bad qualities in himself, so there is a procession penampahan Galungan. Which in-Tampah (cut or removed) it is the nature of true evil in themselves. Vices is associated in the form of animal pigs. If the properties of rajas and tamas are lost in self, which left only trait satwan. Rerahinan series”All Galungan it contains the philosophy that we need in the context of the present maknai,”Love said Yasa.

The same thing is said Ida’s son Vaishnava Rsi Bhujangga Sara Jyoti of Shri Satya Dharma Santhi Bhuwana Gria Sesetan. Sugihan was a grand procession traveled cleaning (natural environment) and travel alit in order to prepare themselves to spiritual activities. In the ceremony there was Sugihan ngerebu procession. Ngerebu procession was one of the cleaning concept alit globe. Ngerebu it should not be seen from the side of the ceremony alone, because there actually exists masimakrama concept (see family). When the procession perebuan happened, family members were there. After dedicated to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, rules containing rice, meat, egg and so eaten together. In this common meal of brotherhood will be even tighter. If any family members who previously had an argument, for example, through the procession is expected to melt ngerebu. In that context there is real purification process of the mind, which can be used to clear cloudy again. Thus peace and tranquility will be created within ourselves to meet the Galungan holiday.

Galungan also a moment for introspection (mulatsarira) or self-evaluation. Had we been able to defeat or destroy the passions qualities rajas and tamas.
