Sacred Fire Ceremony, Saturday, January 25, 2025

Sacred fire ceremony, Saturday January 25, 2025 at the ashram of Ratu Bagus Muncan is centered in Campuhan or waterfall area. Campuhan is a meeting between two rivers in the north of the ashram where the meeting of the rivers has a very strong and holy energy. At that time all pralingga or symbols of God such as Barong / Ratu Gede, Rangda / Ratu Ayu, weapons in the form of krises and spears, were presented as witnesses that the students had performed oferring for themselves, ancestors, teachers and to God or the universe.

The energy vibrations were very strong once the Homa ceremony began. Gede as Yajamana, Pandita, Pemangku, Hotri and all Balinese sisya and some sisya from the west were present and very solemn following the ceremony. The most anticipated moment was the rain as a form of grace or blessing from nature that the ceremony had been carried out sincerely and gratefully, seen from the enthusiasm of the students singing bhajan while following the procession of “melukat” or self-cleansing in campuhan. The rain felt so good and energized where the participants were very happy and felt togetherness during the sacred fire ceremony.

The ceremony is a very holy ceremony that has the meaning of opening a connection between the real world and the astral realm, which in this case is the relationship between students and their ancestors, so that from the first time he Ratu Bagus had planned to build a holy place, namely Gajah Mina. The construction of the Gajah Mina Statue has a spiritual meaning that humans who live in this mortal realm are obliged to open connections with the ancestral realm to complete karma which in Hinduism is a way to pay karmic debts (Tri Rna), namely debts to God, to the Guru and to the Ancestors. This is the round of life (Swastika Sana), the continuation of life after death and returning to the world to repair karma.

Thank you Ratu Bagus, thank you Ida Bhatara Lingsir ring Gunung Agung, thank you Ida Bhatara Surya, thank you all of our ancestors, our event went smoothly.

Om Swastyastu Ratu Bagus
