Part 3 - Religion and Culture of Bali (Introduction)

In today's world, there are many counterparts between Hindu and Balinese Hinduism. Tale: In Indian Hinduism, most people are lovers of Brahimi who is supreme leader. On the contrary, in Balinese Hinduism, most people worship Sanjiang and Woody Wassa as their supreme leader. Sanghyang is similar to Widhi Wasa Brahman, where Sanghyang Widhi Wasa should appear all the world's duplexes. Similarly, the Sanghyang Widhi Wasa will have many births.

Most of the time, all the Balinese Hindu gods and goddesses (such as Sanjiang and Wihi Wicha) were traditional deviations from Hindu Hinduism in Balinese Hinduism. However, this process of change did not always occur as a result of direct contact between the Balinese and the Indians. Many of the worn-out Hindu beliefs and practices were converted to Balinese Hinduism because of the ancient contacts Balinese had with the Javanese.

Traditionally, Balinese gods have rarely changed in Balinese Hinduism without changing the form or beliefs that have proliferated. As a result, although most of the Balinese Hindu gods and goddesses were ultimately derived from Indian Hinduism, today there are few links between Indian Hindu Durga and Hindu Durga. Balinese Hinduism. In Indian Hinduism, Durga is one of the embodiments of the god Shiva (who in turn represents the god of ironies). The nature of Shiva side by side is also illustrated by Indian Hindu belief that Shiva may take the form of Paravati and Uma (sensitive and polite mother numbers) or Cali. In Indian Hinduism, it often indicates that Cali is the ruthless incarnation of Shiva, a dark figure, the figure a lot of hands hold the blood sculptor and other hand grasping the head cut off and the body with a necklace of skulls. In Balinese Hinduism, Dewey Durga is believed to be the wife of Diwa Siwa. With Dewa Siwa, Dewey believes Durga eliminates the negative. The statues of Dewa Durga can be found in the sites of Balinese Hindu Pura Dalem. In Balinese Hinduism, Rangda is thought to be one of Dewey Durga's birth. Rangda is close to Cali. However, while Cali in Indian Hinduism, represents a very lavish side and unforgiving Shiva in Hindu Balinese, Rangda is a very extravagant and unforgiving side of Dewey Durga.Rangda is often represented in Balinese Hinduism as a queen of witches, an expert in magic, a bloodthirsty man, a man of food, an account of protectors close to Bali and characters with superficial and inhuman features. (Such as long 6-inch nails, rib joints, and drooping breasts). Rangda is supposed to be a symbol that the Balinese traditionally come from Javanese.

In Balinese Hinduism, Dewey offers a special sublima. The only reason is that Dewey Sri is unique in Bali. To describe, Dewey Sri is a Hindu Balinese symbol not traditionally graduated from another culture. Dewey is the wife of Vishnu. Goddess of rice, goddess of sustenance, and guardian and supplier of paddy rice fields.
