TRI HITA KARANA
PARHYANGAN ASPECT
Parhyangan aspect refers to human
relationship with spiritual environment to mirror
human existence as homo religious or as a living creature
that entertain belief in supernatural ruler (God).
To achieve well-being, man always maintains harmonious
interaction with spiritual environment and expresses
the interaction in religious system that comprises
religious emotion, activity, facilities and community.
In Balinese culture as inspired by
Hinduism, religiosity is reflected in various aspect
of community life; there is hardly any aspect of human
life that is totally secular or profane in nature.
Religious aspect is everywhere perceivable and reflected
in harmonious human relationship with spiritual environment
(Parhyangan).
The example of social unity in Bali
can be seen in the community organization, karma (community
member) as pawongan element, in wewidangan (territory)
as palemahan element and in kahyangan tiga three community
temples: Puseh, Dalem and Baleagung) as parhyangan
element. In the system of subak (traditional organization
for management irrigation water), as known krama subak
as pawongan element, the agricultural field as palemahan
element and the rituals dedicated to shri the goddess
parhyangan element.
Similarly, tourism in Bali might
advisable identify the three elements as follows:
operators of tourism industry as pawongan element;
tourism nodes and the incorporated infrastructure
as palemahan element; and the rituals connected to
Laksmi the goddess as parhyangan element.
These three elements (parhyangan,
Pawongan, Palemahan) represent an inseparable unity.
Harmonious relationship between these three is believed
to be able generate maximum benefit to human spiritual
and physical well-being. In sharp contrast, unbalanced
and disharmonious relationship with more emphasis
on only one aspect is believed to be able harm human
well being.
