Atharvaveda
Literasi Veda sangat penting untuk membangun Sumber Daya Manusia Hindu yang unggul. Veda adalah benih, Veda adalah energi yang memberikan daya dan kemampuan bagi umat manusia untuk hidup sejahtera diatas bumi ini. Mempelajari Veda berarti menyalakan pelita pengetahuan dalam altar pemujaan di dalam diri dan sekaligus membangkitkan mesin kecerdasan manusia. Olehnya, tujuan utama mempelajari Veda adalah membangun keunggulan manusia dan sekaligus membangun peradaban yang bermartabat. Mempelajari Veda berarti memohon anugrah dan meminum madu Surgawi yang dijaga oleh Dewi Saraswati dan Dewa Ganesa, guna membangun keunggulan dan kecerdasan manusia. Mempelajari Veda berarti ‘mandi’ dalam pengetahuan suci yang telah dijaga oleh para Ṛṣī selama jutaan tahun. Sesungguhnya, mereka yang mempelajari Veda tengah membangun keuntungan dan nasib baik dalam hidupnya. Belajar Veda berarti menjalankan Brahma yajña, yakni persembahan melalui pembelajaran Pustaka Suci Veda. Brahma yajña atau Jñāna yajña merupakan persembahan suci utama yang terkait dengan pembelajaran dan aktivitas belajar.
A Survey of Hinduism
This third edition of the classic text updates the information contained in the earlier editions, and includes new chapters on the origins of Hinduism; its history of relations with Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam; Hindu science; and Hindu measures of time. The chronology and the bibliography have been updated as well. A comprehensive survey of the Hindu tradition, the book deals with the history of Hinduism, the sacred writings of the Hindus, the Hindu worldview, and the specifics of the major branches of Hinduism—Vaisnavism, Saivism, and Saktism. It also focuses on the geographical ties of Hinduism with the land of India, the social order created by Hinduism, and the various systems of...
Kinship in Bali
This work constitutes the first book-length examination of Balinese kinship in English and an important theoretical analysis of the central ethnographic concept of "kinship system." Hildred and Clifford Geertz's findings challenge the prevailing anthropological notion of a kinship system as an autonomous set of institutionalized social relationships. Their research in Bali suggests that kinship cannot be studied in isolation but must be perceived as a symbolic subsystem governed by ideas and beliefs unique to each culture.
Perfect Order
Along rivers in Bali, small groups of farmers meet regularly in water temples to manage their irrigation systems. They have done so for a thousand years. Over the centuries, water temple networks have expanded to manage the ecology of rice terraces at the scale of whole watersheds. Although each group focuses on its own problems, a global solution nonetheless emerges that optimizes irrigation flows for everyone. Did someone have to design Bali's water temple networks, or could they have emerged from a self-organizing process? Perfect Order--a groundbreaking work at the nexus of conservation, complexity theory, and anthropology--describes a series of fieldwork projects triggered by this quest...
Tradition and Reflection
This book examines, above all, the relationship between reason and Vedic revelation, and the philosophical responses to the idea of the Veda. It deals with such topics as dharma, karma and rebirth, the role of man in the universe, the motivation and justification of human actions, the relationship between ritual norms and universal ethics, and reflections on the goals and sources of human knowledge. Halbfass presents previously unknown materials concerning the history of sectarian movements, including the notorious Thags (thaka), and relations between Indian and Iranian thought. The approach is partly philosophical and partly historical and philological; to a certain extent, it is also c...

Decentralisation, School-Based Management, and Quality
This book, which is the eighth volume in the 12-volume book series Globalisation, Comparative Education and Policy Research, presents scholarly research on major discourses in decentralisation, school-based management (SBM) and quality in education globally. This book, which focuses on decentralisation and SBM as a governance strategy in education, presents theoretical aspects of the phenomenon of decentralisation/privatisation and contextualises them within the education research literature. It provides an easily accessible, practical yet scholarly source of information concerning the dynamics of decentralisation and SBM that normally take place when reforms are instituted to decentralize a...

Pura Besakih
Pura Besakih is the paramount Hindu temple on Bali. Located high on the slopes of the volcano Mt Agung, it has developed over more than a thousand years into a great complex of 22 separate temples, the largest and central being Pura Penataran Agung. The annual cycle of more than seventy rituals, which symbolically link the temples into a whole, culminates in the centenary ceremony called Ekadasa Rudra (last held in 1979). The temple complex, state-supported at least since the fifteenth century, has undergone a series of architectural and ritual changes. This study combines an analysis of textual and historical sources with the fieldwork methods of anthropology in creating a unified interpretation of this great temple.
