2024-01-26T10:47:44+00:00

India also has a very long history of traditional science through the ages through its various epoch-making traditional scriptures. Major traditional scientific texts and scientific elements are composed directly or indirectly in the Sanskrit Language and are mostly related to ancient Indian Vedic literature. Among several branches of traditional Indian sciences, the most ancient branches are, in most cases, astronomy, medicine, etc. India also has a very long history of astronomical sciences (jyotiḥ-sāstra) and medicine (āyur-veda). Indian classical astronomical sciences are roughly divided into mathematical astronomy (gaṇita-jyotiṣa) and astrology (phalita-jyotiṣa). All these scriptures directly or indirectly influenced Indian culture and life. Even today Indian people are following the directions of these sacred texts. Here I would like to do a case study of the only hospital related to Indian Astrology and Astronomy. The name of the hospital is ‘Unique Sangeeta Memorial Hospital’ and it is dedicated to the service of mankind with a mixture of traditional Vedic Astrology and Astronomy and modern Medical knowledge.

dikenal dengan istilah Saptaloka (tujuh alam). Bhurloka adalah lapisan yang
paling bawah yang didiami para butha dan raksasa; Bhuwahloka adalah
lapisan alam di atasnya yang didiami oleh para manusia; tempat bumi berada.
Swahloka atau Swargaloka atau surga adalah kediaman para dewa yang

Bhurloka yang dihuni oleh makhluk dengan unsur kasar. Sapta patala terdiri
atas: Atala, Witala, Sutala, Talatala, Mahatala, Rasatala, dan Patala. Atala
identik dengan mahamaya; Witala dipimpin oleh manifestasi Siwa yang disebut Hatakeswara; Sutala dipimpin oleh raksasa Bali; Talatala dipimpin

Humans are creatures that are the center of the earth and mangula is often
referred to in environmentalethical theory as humans are positioned tobe
the central being son earth, but sometimes in anthropocentrism thinking it
gives preservation to the universe but humans can also destroy or dissolve
all universes with their advantages so that human needs and desires which is
fulfilled without looking at the damaged environment, but humans can also
preserve the universe as a whole, in Hindu religious teachings which are
included in the teachings of the Hinducosmological concept interms of the
creation of the entire universe.
Cosmology is one of the important knowledge in Hinduism, because cosmology
not only provides knowledge about the creation of the universe, further more
cosmology can explain the true nature of human beings,which has so far been
difficult to understand.Cosmological teachings in Bali are written down in
local theology. In particular, lontars or Shivaistic texts always put forward the
teachings or knowledge of God (Stwa)and knowledge of the path to attaining
Himand the creation of the universe,be it bhuana agung or bhuana alit.
For this reason, true knowledge and proper implementation of concepts are
also needed it is especially important to put forward the concept of Hindu
cosmology in the Bhuana Kosa text on the correct understanding in everyday
life burning a harmonious life and increasing devotion to God.

SELF-MANAGEMENT IN THE LIGHT OF SĀṀKHYAYOGA (CHAPTER-II) OF ŚRĪMADBHAGAVADGĪTĀ

2024-01-26T10:51:54+00:00

Our India is renowned in the globe for its distinctive, rich, glorious heritage and
cultural tradition. Ancient India is augmented with unique sacred scriptures like
the Vedas, Upanishads, Śrīmadbhagavadgītā, the Rāmāyana, the Mahābhārata,
Purāṇas, Bible, Quran, Yoga sῡtras of Patañjali, Dharmaśāstras etc. Amongst
these the Śrīmadbhagavadgītā is a marvelous Hindu sacred scripture, which is
incorporated in the epic Mahābhārata consisting of 700 verses in 18 chapters
in Sanskrit language by Vyasa. The Gītā is the divine discourse spoken by the
supreme Lord Krishna himself, so it is told- गीता सुगीता कर्तव्या किमन्यैः
शास्त्रसंग्रहैः। या स्वयंपद्मनाभस्य मुखपद्माद्विनिःसृताः।। (महा.भीष्मपर्व,
43.1). It means “The Gītā alone should be sung, heard, recited, studied,
taught, pondered, and assimilated properly and well which was emerged
directly from the lotus like lips of god Vishnu himself.” Amongst 18 chapters
the 2nd chapter is सांख्ययोगः or the yoga of knowledge. Management is an
organizational activity to remain the administration disciplined while self-
management is an individual activity to keep oneself disciplined. Gītā is full
of advises in regard to discipline and regulate the lifestyle of human beings, to
be perfect etc., especially the 2nd chapter teaches more about self-regulation,
self-management, and self-control. Based on qualitative method, this article
tries to ponder about the self management as highlighted in Sāṁkhyayoga
of Śrīmadbhagavadgītā. By knowing these one should be well-balanced
and mentally sound from internally. Then, one is not affected by these side
effects of worldly life by getting knowledge what should be done and what
should not be.

2024-02-06T06:55:21+00:00

Body and mind are the two inseparable ingredients of life. Mind is something
invisible but its existence can never be denied. The mind is something which
thinks, imagines, wishes, senses, remembers and forgets. It is connected with
peace, pleasure, pain, perception, belief, emotion, intension, desire and the
ultimate decision-making process. In every case, the mind matters the most.
A sound mind is of utmost necessity in the proper management of life; and a
sound mind is always available only in a sound body. Hence, for maintaining
the soundness of mind, the body should be sound and for maintaining the
soundness of the body, physical exercise is inevitable. Physical exercise may
be of different types which include games and sports, yoga, gymnastics,
swimming, running, jogging, cycling and so on and so forth.
This paper focuses on the inevitability of physical fitness in the proper
management of life.

ESENSI GURU DAN PENTINGNYA KEBERADAAN GURU DALAM SISTEM PEMBELAJARAN VEDA: PERSPEKTIF TEOLOGI PENDIDIKAN

2024-03-25T01:32:25+00:00

Guru is word which is used in Sanskrit language, the root of the Guru word
is, Gu means who one has free from material attachment, and Ru means who
one can help other to cross of the ocean sin. So, the word Guru is not directly
meaning a teacher, Guru is one has a spiritual qualification. Guru when
teaching, he known deeply his student till their inner. So, nickname of Guru
is the special title of a teacher who has beyond than the general teachers.
Because of the very special qualification of the Guru, therefore Guru has very
central in the Vedic education system. All about that, is very clear if we read
the Upanisad, and directly find many descriptions about the significant of the
Guru.
This research paper based on the literature study, therefore the all data
collected from literatures. The research method used is qualitative method,
and the analysis data method use qualitative analysis method which completed
with interpretation method. And then used theory of meaning to analysis of
the research problems.
The result research found that everyone who want become the best qualification
in the Vedic knowledge, he/she should seek the true Guru. Because the Vedic
knowledge is likes unlimited wide ocean or is likes the very big forest, therefore
who one wants to learn Vedic knowledge without lead by the true Guru, then
the learning result has not perfect. Many aphorisms in Vedic knowledge is
not easy to understand, for the example, in Vedic teaching 'sky' is called
father, and earth is called mother, cow also called as mother. In short, Vedic
knowledge mostly used symbol to sign of the Supreme, therefore the existence
of the true Guru is the core of learning Vedic process.

KONSEP KANDA PAT RARE DALAM PRAKTEK KEDOKTERAN MODERN

2024-03-25T01:24:35+00:00

The Balinese society is renowned for its highly distinctive and unique culture. This culture is intricately linked to beliefs and traditions passed down by ancestors. However, when viewed through a scientific lens, each aspect of this culture holds its own significance that can be integrated into modern medicine. One of the beliefs held by the Balinese people is the presence of four siblings accompanying every human birth, known as Kanda Pat. The tangible form of Kanda Pat consists of four elements: ari-ari (placenta), lamas (umbilical cord and fat), getih (blood), and yeh nyom (amniotic fluid). In this belief, these four components symbolize the four divine powers that always accompany the human soul (atman) from birth to death. From the perspective of modern medicine, these four elements can be applied to various modalities such as stem cells and vaccines. Thus, the assimilation of culture with modern medicine can be logically explained and poses a challenge for researchers in the future.
