Happy New Year in Bali Caka Year 1937 ❣ Selamat Hari Raya Nyepi ♪( ´▽｀)

Hi, all. Good morning. We are "butter cup Bali" shop at Ubud, Bali, Indonesia（●＾o＾●）

We give the greeting you for New Year of Bali Hindu. 

"Selamat Hari Raya Nyepi" (Indonesian Language Happy Nyepi Day)

"Rahajeng Rahina Penyepian" (Bali Language)

Wishing Bali keep prosper and peaceful forever 🌟

                                 

Hari Nyepi is New Year of Bali Hindu religion.

                                  

Nyepi is original word in Indonesia language "Sepi".

Sepi means "Silent",,,, Yes today is "Silent Day" in Bali....

Already start silent New Year of Çaka year 1937 . All day we must not go outside from house and use the fire, light too. 

This rule must follow even if peopel are other religion and foreigner who live in Bali too.And we must not kill something, and work too. No car and no motorcycle today. Airport also closed today.

Just hear only twitter of bird and voice of a bug. In the night Bali wrap dark. In dark world only stars will shine in more than usual in the night sky. If we are lucky, we can see milky way in the night sky.

                               

We feel which must protect this beautiful nature in Bali. Bali Hindu has a relation ship with nature.

to prosper and peaceful in Bali are origin of Bali nature....

Why today is Silent Day? Why must not work, must not kill something ( example Animal, bug), must not use the fire,,,? Do you know this reasons?

Example about a fire,,,, There is a God of fire in Bali. We excuse this God to take a rest once of a year.

Another reason is because today is special "Meditation Day".

Today is we make a meditation and  a mental purification :) High caste people and priest of Bali Hindu fast all day. Of course low caste also may be done.

Of course there are meditation day of some ceremony in Bali Hindulism but it deosn't duty all Balinese.

But this meditation day isn't only all of Balinese but other religion Indonesian people and foreigner also :D

Sure, if they can't go outside from houses and hotels, it isn't necessary them to do maditate.

But they can take a rest with relax.  To take a rest also is light meditation :))

Today we must not pray too.

Maybe this is a reason because Balinese smiles are beautiful :))

Thank you everyone.

Have a blessed weekend.
