Galungan in Bali

Based on Bali mythology, it held since the battle of the troops of Bhatara Jaya Indra and Maya Dhanautama who always forbid the people who want to pray. Bhatara Jaya Indra won the battle, although he loosed many of their troops. The Tirta Empul at Tampak Siring, Gianyar, Bali is the evidence of that battle. They believe that the water from the Tirta Empul is holy water since the water sprinkling can make the die troop to be a live again.

In this 2007, Bali society will celebrate Galungan Day on 27th June, 2007. It celebrates every 210 days. It also called Galungan Naramangsa because held on 7th moon, it is mean that the time where Bhuta (mythical gigantic demon) is very powerful. They believe that it can be bad signal for the world.

By the way, hopefully this celebration should make them inspire to be controlling selves, bright thinking, educated and wise. God love their creature when they love Him too.
