Heri juniawan, Ida Kade Suparta — Mon, 11 May 2026 10:37:16 +0700

The teachings regarding tolerance and harmony have long been explained in various religious literary texts, one of which is the text of Dharmayatra Dhanghyang Nirartha. Amidst religious pressures that are prone to conflict, it is necessary to study local wisdom and the universal values of religious texts to build a moderate religious life. Until now, the understanding of this text has primarily focused on historical aspects and has not been thoroughly studied from the perspective of the values of religious moderation. The purpose of this research is to study the moderating value of religion in the sacred journey of Dhanghyang Nirartha as contained in the text of Dharmayatra Dhanghyang Nirartha. The method used in this research is a literary study with a philological perspective, utilizing a book written in Balinese script entitled Babad Brahmana Catur kalih Dharmayatra Dhanghyang Nirartha as the main data source. The research results indicate that there are three essential values of religious moderation in the text, namely the value of humanity, the value of deliberation, and the value of justice.

ANALISIS FILSAFAT HINDU TERHADAP KEHIDUPAN BERUMAH TANGGA DALAM GRHASTHA ASRAMA

Rudi - Harta — Mon, 11 May 2026 10:50:45 +0700

This study aims to analyze household life in Gṛhastha Āśrama from a Hindu philosophical perspective. Gṛhastha Āśrama as one of the stages in Catur Āśrama has a central role in supporting the sustainability of the social, spiritual, and religious life of Hindus. The main problem in this study is how the nature, values, and goals of household life within the framework of Hindu philosophy, and their relevance in the context of modern life. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method, through analysis of Hindu texts such as the Vedas, Upaniṣads, Manusmṛti, and Bhagavadgītā. The results of the study show that household life in Gṛhastha Āśrama is not only oriented towards fulfilling material needs (artha) and pleasure (kāma), but must also be based on dharma as a moral and spiritual principle that leads to the attainment of mokṣa. Furthermore, the household is seen as a form of yajña (sacred sacrifice) that emphasizes social responsibility, harmonious marital relations, and the character formation of future generations. In the modern context, the philosophical values of Gṛhastha Āśrama remain relevant as an ethical and spiritual foundation for navigating the dynamics of family life. Thus, this study confirms that Gṛhastha Āśrama is a phase of life that is not only worldly but also serves as a means to achieve higher life goals in Hindu philosophy.

TRANSFORMASI BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING TRADISIONAL KE MODERN BERBASIS FILSAFAT HINDU DI PASRAMAN KOTA MATARAM

Triati Lestari Salau, Tri Ayu Lestari — Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the transformation of traditional guidance and counseling toward a modern approach based on Hindu philosophy in a traditional Islamic school (pasraman) in Mataram City. The approach used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that guidance and counseling practices in the pasraman are still dominated by traditional approaches that emphasize moral advice and spiritual guidance, but are not yet supported by modern, systematic, individual-needs-based counseling methods. This condition causes guidance services to be unable to fully address the complexity of students' psychological problems in the modern era. The research findings indicate a need for transformation toward a more dialogical, empathetic, and structured counseling model, without abandoning the values of Hindu philosophy as the main foundation. The integration of the concepts of dharma, karma, yoga, and Catur Purusartha with a modern counseling approach results in a holistic guidance model, namely combining psychological and spiritual aspects in one unit. This study provides a new contribution by confirming that Hindu philosophy can be operationalized applicatively in counseling practice, not only as an ethical norm. Thus, the transformation of guidance and counseling based on Hindu philosophy becomes a strategic solution in shaping students' character and psychological balance in a sustainable manner.

KRISIS ETIKA EKONOMI MODERN DAN RELEVANSI FILSAFAT HINDU: STUDI PADA MASYARAKAT LOMBOK

Phyta Rahima Rahima, Ni Kadek Indriyawati — Mon, 11 May 2026 11:13:20 +0700

This study aims to analyze the crisis of modern economic ethics and examine the relevance of Hindu philosophy as an ethical foundation in the economic practices of the people of Lombok. The approach used is descriptive qualitative supported by quantitative data through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The results show that the economic practices of the people tend to be dominated by an orientation towards artha (material gain), while the value of dharma as the foundation of ethics has not been optimally internalized. Statistical analysis shows a significant negative relationship between the understanding of Hindu philosophy and the level of crisis of economic ethics, meaning that the higher the understanding of philosophical values, the lower the tendency of unethical economic practices. Qualitatively, it was found that economic activities are viewed more as pragmatic transactions than as a form of yajña or spiritual devotion. This finding indicates a gap between normative understanding and empirical practice in the economic life of the people. This study makes a new contribution by confirming that the crisis of economic ethics is rooted in the discontinuity between the ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions of Hindu philosophy. Therefore, a contextual reinterpretation of the values of dharma, artha, and yajña is needed to serve as a foundation for building an ethical, just, and sustainable economic system.
