KONSEP KETUHANAN DALAM SISTEM KEPERCAYAAN MASYARAKAT BALI BERAGAMA HINDU DI LOMBOK

Abstract

The Balinese Hindu community who has long lived in Lombok has similar ritual behavior and ritual media with the Sasak community, so this study aims to explore the concept of God in the belief system of the Balinese Hindu community in Lombok. This study uses a qualitative research method with an anthropological approach. The problems studied use eclectic theory, including the Rasa Rangacarya theory and the theory of religion as a cultural system. The data were obtained using participatory observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document studies.. The results of this study are as follows: 1) The concept of divinity in the Balinese Hindu belief system in Lombok is based on the concept of the Panca Sradha teachings, because the Balinese Hindu community in Lombok always manifests the existence of God through their enthusiastic attitude in carrying out sraddha and devotional service, 2 ) Implementation of the concept of divinity in the Balinese Hindu belief system in Lombok is implemented through the implementation of five yajna, because through the Panca Yajna ceremony using upakara as a means of worship it is a painting symbol of the people's heart desires, with these sacred symbols functioning to synthesize a Hindu belief in creating their mood to be close to the substance that is believed to exist, namely God.
