1 Ngaben is One Of Balinese Culture
For this post I will discuss one of the few Bali culture including Ngaben (Cremation). Hopefully
posting this time could provide an overview for all readers what it is
and how the process of Ngaben (Cremation) implementation from beginning to end
the ceremony Ngaben.
Ngaben
is a cremation ceremony conducted Hindus in Bali, this ceremony is done
to menyucian the spirit of the ancestors of people already died to
final resting place by pyre.
In man has a number of elements, and all of this is moved by the soul/spirit given the creator. When
the man died, left behind only ballpark remains alone, while the spirit
is still there and continues to the end of the world. At that time the ceremony Ngaben occurs as a process of purification of the spirit upon leaving the Agency.
The Cremation itself has a sense of the provision or an all purpose grey
leads the last release about the existence of human life. In
the teachings of the Hindu God Brahma has some shape as well as the
Creator-God Brahma is believed to also have the shape as the God of
fire. So Cremation ceremony itself is a process
of purification of the spirit burned using the fire to be able to go back
to the creator, the personification of the God Brahma fire could burn
all the impurities that are attached to the bodies and spirits of people
who have died.
Ngaben
ceremony is considered very important for Hindus in Bali, because the
ceremony Ngaben is the appearance of the respect and affection of the
people left behind, also concerning the social status of the family and
the person who died. With Cremation, the family
of the deceased can free spirit/soul of their deed ever done the world
and pass it to the eternal heaven and back life again in a
different form.
Cremation
is done with several stages, consisting of various offerings with not
forgetting emblazoned with symbols of other ritual often done Hindus in
Bali. Ordinary Cremation ceremony largely
channeled his magnitude, this all takes a long time, a lot of energy and
also the cost and could result in Cremation is often done in a long
time after death.
At
present this is Hindu community in Bali often do bulk/Cremation
together, to meghemat the existing fee, where the remains of people who
died for a while buried in advance until sufficient new fee funded, and
yet for the people and families who can afford cremation ceremony can be
conducted as soon as possible, for a while the remains of burial at
home, while waiting for a good time. There is a
presumption of less well when remains too long in storage houses,
because the spirit of the people who died were confused and did not calm
down, he felt were living between two worlds and always want to quickly
freed.
The
implementation of Cremation itself must first consult with the pastor
for menetapkankan when is a good day to do the ceremony. While
waiting for the good days to be specified, usually the family and
assisted the community many do Preparation place the corpse
(bade?/keranda) and ox-shaped replica made of bamboo, wood, colorful
paper, later to the crematoriums.
E.g., The Cremation is implemented, the entire family and people will gather to prepare the ceremony. Before
the ceremony the bodies first cleaned/washed, the process of pelaksaaan
a leading by a priest or anyone from the caste Bramana.
Once
the process is finished, the bodies being adorned with washing bath
with traditional Balinese clothes clothing, and all the family members
gathered to pay respects and accompanied by the prayer may diupacarai
souls gained peace and are in a better place.
Corpses
have been washed and dressed in the clothes were placed in the
"Bade?/keranda" then at critical limits stretcher is a rollicking, all
members of the family and the community berbarisdidepan "Bade?/keranda".
During the en route to the site of Ngaben ,
if there is an intersection or junction, Bade?/keranda swivel will be
played three times, it was believed that the deceased was confused and
did not return again, in the release of the bodies was no SOBs, no good
for the body, as if not willingly for his departure.The departure of the procession the procession is accompanied by the sound of bodies sent a gamelan, a sacred chant.On
the front side and the back of the Bade?/keranda critical limits
