MECARU CEREMONY IN UBUD BALI
Mecaru: The Ceremony To The Balance Between Man and Nature
Balinese Hinduism is based on the concept of Tri Hita Karana, the belief that there should be balanced relationships between man and God, man and all other people, and man and nature. Yadnya, or holy sacrifices, are made to sustain the balance and the various types of holy sacrifices are each meant to address a particular subject. Bhuta Yadnya is the holy sacrifice meant to maintain the balance between man and nature and is important because it is in nature (the natural world) that bad spirits are believed to most often reside. Bhu literally translates from Balinese to English as the word 'nature'. So keeping Bhutra (or the bad spirits in nature) from becoming troublesome to man is accomplished by showing respect.
Mecaru is the ceremony especially intended to deal with the balance between man and nature. It is the Balinese Hindu belief that bad spirits may be hidden in places like very high trees, at big bridges or at village crossroads. These spirits will remain quiet and calm so long as they are acknowledged and honored. But in places where bad spirits stay, the feeling in the location is often strange and uncomfortable. People are cautious and are careful in passing through these areas. But if the proper prayers and ceremonies are observed, the spirits will not be disturbed and, in turn, will not disturb man. It seems a fair balance and a good way to deal with the concept that good is balanced with bad and both must be recognized.
Mecaru is the act of giving offerings comprised of flowers and food. The offerings that are made especially to please Bhuta contain shrimp paste, which has a very strong and unpleasant odor, ginger, onion, and raw meat. Drinks to Bhuta that accompany the offering include traditional alcoholic beverages like arak or brem, both made from rice. Their smells are strong and their tastes are even stronger. The Mecaru ceremony is intended to satisfy the Bhuta spirits and persuade them to stay away. In addition, on a regular basis, every 15 days, Bhuta is recognized with special offerings. Thus the harmony between the visible (sekala) and the invisible (neskala) is maintained.
The Mecaru ceremony can be held at three levels, low medium or high. The levels are differentiated by the types of offerings and sacrifices that are made. A low Mecaru will include offerings of flowers and food such as rice, ginger and onions and can be led by the head of the household or the family elder. No animal sacrifices are made.
A medium level Mecaru has offerings that include several kinds of rice seeds and/or several different colors of rice e.g., white, yellow, black and red. Five fistfuls of the colored rice are used to make these offerings. In addition, a sacrifice of a chicken or a duck is made and the blood of the chicken is dropped on the ground. This pleases the spirits and keeps them peaceful. Medium levels of Mecaru may include several chickens but the color(s) of the chickens are significant and may mean looking throughout the village and maybe neighboring villages to find the correct colors. This medium level Mecaru must be led by a priest or holy person (pinandita, a holy person who has not yet attained the highest holy level known as pedanda).
A high level Mecaru becomes a major ceremony and can include hundreds of offerings and several sacrifices of not only two legged animals, but also four legged animals. These could consist of buffalo, cow, pig or even a young dog. Again, the coloring of the animal is very important and not just any animal is qualified to be a holy offering. The Balinese Hindu believes that an animal used as sacrifice will be elevated in reincarnation because it has been used in ceremony and is pure. And prior to sacrificing the animal, a special ceremony is held for it to insure its higher place in its future life. The leader of a high level Mecaru must be a pedanda, the highest level religious person in Bali. Also, Pedanda are of the highest of the four castes in Bali and spend many years preparing for their religious responsibilities.
Mecaru are often held for special reasons. When a new house is built, Mecaru must be held before sleeping in the house. If there is an accident on the road, Mecaru takes place at the site of the accident. A fire in a house will be followed by Mecaru. And at home, every morning after cooking, rice is set aside for inclusion in the daily offerings made at each temple in the compound. Bhuta is not forgotten or overlooked.
The significant principal is one of peace. There is never intent to do damage to the invisible spirits, as concerned as one might be about them. The invisible spirits are part of life and part of the balance of good and bad, black and white, night and day. By honoring the invisible spirits they remain passive and content. We do not bother them and they do not bother us...true balance and harmony, the Balinese Hindu way.

Sarinbuana Eco Lodge BALI from the air July 2015
Aerial video of Sarinbuana Eco Lodge in Central Bali with Mt Batukaru behind. The Sarinbuana Eco Lodge pioneered sustainable ecotourism in Bali and it still leads the way. It looks like jungle all around us, but it's actually farmland based on a wide mixture of trees and other plants. It is polyculture tree-cropping with an understory of useful shrubs, vines, herbs and root crops. This is a very sustainable model for sustainable farming in the wet tropics: baliecolodge.com

Bali Cinematic Drone Footage | Part ||
Welcome to Bali
Part 2 of my Bali Drone footage.
The mere mention of Bali evokes thoughts of a paradise. It's more than a place; it's a mood, an aspiration, a tropical state of mind.
Island of the Gods
The rich and diverse culture of Bali plays out at all levels of life, from the exquisite flower-petal offerings placed everywhere, to the processions of joyfully garbed locals shutting down major roads as they march to one of the myriad temple ceremonies, to the otherworldly traditional music and dance performed island-wide. Almost everything has spiritual meaning. The middle of Bali is dominated by the dramatic volcanoes of the central mountains and hillside temples such as Pura Luhur Batukau (one of the island's estimated 10,000 temples), while the tallest peak, Gunung Agung, is the island's spiritual centre.
One Island, Many Destinations
On Bali you can lose yourself in the chaos of Kuta or sybaritic pleasures of Seminyak and Kerobokan, surf wild beaches in the south or just hang out on Nusa Lembongan. You can go family-friendly in Sanur or savour a lavish getaway on the Bukit Peninsula. Ubud is the heart of Bali, a place where the culture of the island is most accessible, and it shares the island's most beautiful rice fields and ancient monuments with east and west Bali. North and west Bali are thinly populated but have the kind of diving and surfing that make any journey worthwhile.
Bali's Essence
Yes, Bali has beaches, surfing, diving and resorts great and small, but it's the essence of Bali – and the Balinese – that makes it so much more than just a fun-in-the-sun retreat. It is possible to take the cliché of the smiling Balinese too far, but in reality, the inhabitants of this small island are indeed a generous, genuinely warm people. There's also a fun, sly sense of humour. Upon seeing a bald tourist, many locals exclaim 'bung ujan', which means today's rain is cancelled – it's their way of saying that the hairless head is like a clear sky.
Bali's Fun
At the end of the day (which is the start of the day for some visitors), Bali's rich culture, many amazing sights and truly lovely people are what takes Bali's sheer delight to another level. Because Bali is fun, no matter what you want or who you are. Seminyak has shops and designers, Kerobokan has luxe beachside resorts and superb eating, Kuta and Legian have the nightlife, and Canggu wraps it all into one irresistible package. Plunge deep into Bali's spirit while renewing your own in Ubud or catching the perfect wave in Bingin. You name it, it's here.

Asal Mula Pura Besakih Karangasem Bali/The Origins of Bali Besakih Temple
Asal Mula Pura Besakih Karangasem Bali
Pura Besakih asal mulanya didirikan oleh Rsi Markandya, Rsi Markandya adalah seorang Yogi dari India yang tinggal di Jawa Timur tepatnya di Gunung Rawung. Karena ketinggian ilmu bhatinnya ,kesucian rohaninya,serta kecakapan dan kebijaksanaan beliau maka oleh rakyat,beliau diberi julukan Bhatara Giri Rawang.
.
Beliau juga seorang pertapa. Mulanya beliau bertapa di Gunung Demulung,sekian waktu kemudian beliau bertapa ke Gunung Hyang (Dieng di Jawa Tengah). Sekian waktu lamanya bertapa,akhirnya beliau mendapat Pawisik wahyu dari Tuhan agar merabas hutan di Pulau Dawa ( Bali ) untuk kemudian dibagi-bagikan kepada para pengikutnya.
Demikianlah kemudian beliau berangkat ke tanah Bali disertai pengikutnya yang pertama yang berjumlah 8000 orang dengan perlengkapan dan peralatan yang diperlukan. Sesampainya ditempat yang dituju,beliau memerintahkan pengikutnya agar mulai merambas hutan.
.
Tempat itu merupakan hutan belantara yang ditumbuhi kayu yang lebat dan semak belukar. Pada saat itu Pulau Bali belum terpisah seperti sekarang dengan Pulau Jawa. Artinya Selat Bali ( Segara Rupek ) belum ada pada saat kedatangan Rsi Markandya ke Bali.Sekian lama merambas hutan,karena pada saat mulai merambas hutan itu tidak didahului dengan upacara (yadnya ) maka murkalah Sang Hyang Widhi.
.
Para pengikut Rsi Markandya banyak yang sakit dan meninggal,juga tidak sedikit yang dimakan binatang buas. Sang Rsi sangat berduka. Kemudian beliau memerintahkan pengikutnya untuk menghentikan perambasan. Dengan hati yang sedih beliau kemudian mengajak pengikutnya untuk kembali ke Jawa. Beliau kembali ketempat pertapaannya semula untuk mohon petunjuk kepada sang Hyang Widhi.
.
Setelah beberapa lamanya beliau berada dipertapaannya, timbul cita-citanya kembali untuk melanjutkan merambas hutan tersebut.Pada suatu hari yang baik,beliau kembali berangkat ke tanah Bali. Kali ini beliau mengajak pengikutnya yang kedua berjumblah 4000 orang yang berasal dari desa Aga yaitu penduduk yang mendiami lereng Gunung Rawung.
.
