Information about Holiday or Ceremony

Siwaratri

Where did this ceremony take place:

Jakarta

In English

Sivaratri means ‘night of Siva’. This holiday falls once a year in January, a day before new moon’s day of month Kapitu. If a Hindu mentions ‘a day’, it always means from sunrise until the next sunrise. It is quite different from modern day calculation which starts at midnight.

At the night of Sivaratri, Lord Siva does deep meditation, called samadhi. The Balinese stay awake in the entire night to pray and meditate. It is advised that people contemplate their mind in order to control it over good and bad.

Commonly, the Balinese pray on Sivaratri day at Pura Dalem temple, for it is a holy place for Lord Siva according to Balinese Hindu tradition. Other than Pura Dalem, some other people stay up at school’s temple, Jagatnatha temples or any other big temples in Bali and Indonesia. Sivaratri is not only celebrated in Bali, but also by the Hindus throughout the globe.

Siwaratri tan kalaksanayang olih krama Bali kemanten, nanging taler olih sami krama Hindune sajebag jagat.

In Indonesian

Sivaratri berarti ‘malam Siva’. Hari raya ini jatuh setahun sekali di bulan Januari, sehari sebelum tilem Kapitu. Apabila orang Hindu menyebut satu hari, maka itu berarti dari matahari terbit hingga matahari terbit berikutnya, bukan dihitung dari tengah malam.

Pada malam Sivaratri, Bhatara Siva melakukan samadhi. Masyarakat Bali melakukan jagra, atau begadang semalam suntuk untuk bersembahyang dan bermeditasi. Pada malam Sivaratri, masyarakat Bali diharapkan mengheningkan pikiran agar mampu memilah antara kebajikan dan keburukan.

Biasanya, masyarakat Bali melakukan persembahyangan Sivaratri di Pura Dalem, sebab Pura Dalem adalah tempat suci untuk memuja Bhatara Siva menurut tradisi Hindu di Bali. Tidak hanya di Pura Dalem, ada juga sebagian masyarakat yang melek semalam suntuk di parahyangan sekolah, Pura Jagatnatha atau pura-pura besar lainnya di seluruh Bali dan Indonesia. Sivaratri tidak hanya dirayakan di Bali, namun juga oleh umat Hindu di seluruh dunia.
