The meaning of Pagerwesi shedding day


The day before Galungan or Pagerwesi holidays in Buleleng, Hindus in Bali generally prepare a celebration by slaughtering animals, such as chickens and pigs for ceremonies. Why should there be pigs? According to Sundarigama literature, on the day of Penampahan, all Hindus carry out Panyomyan or neutralize the power of Sang Kala Tiga, so that it returns to its source as the Hita era. The word Penampahan comes from the word 'Nampah' with the original word being 'Nampeh' which comes from the word 'Nempa' which means offering. While the word Nempa itself comes from the word Namya which means worship, thus the word Penampahan has the meaning of returning to the source or Somya. ," said Ida Pedanda Gde Manara Putra Kekeran.

It was further explained that the slashing ceremony of Penampahan was very important to be carried out. Because it has a goal to neutralize the power that is Asuri Sampad, both for Bhuwana Agung and Bhuwana Alit, to become the power of Daiwi Sampad. Thus, the balance between Bhuwana Alit and Bhuwana Agung, both on a scale and on a scale, can be maintained.

The time of the Tebasan Penampahan ceremony is held at Dauh Tiga, which is around 12.00 noon which is called Dauh Sandi Kala. In addition, this ceremony can also be carried out during Dauh Empat, which is around 17.30 in the afternoon which is called Dauh Sandi Kawon. This ceremony is usually held in the middle of Natah (page) which is the epicenter point of the power of Kala Bucari.

"Therefore, the Penampahan Slashing Ceremony is not allowed to be carried out in Merajan," he explained

The rituals used are very simple, namely Pejati Asoroh, Banten Ayaban, Banten Tebasan Pemiak Kala, Banten Tebasan Cleaning, Banten Tebasan Pasupati Rayunan Brumbun which contains Lawar rivals, fried pork, pork gravy, chili sauce, and peppers. Next, the offerings of Prayascita and Segehan were placed for 11 matches.

Banten Tebasan has a meaning and purpose to neutralize the influence of Sang Kala Tiga. The word Tebasan comes from the word Tebus which means to return to neutral. This understanding is the same as the meaning of the word Nyomya earlier. Regarding the Brumbunya rice using pork, it is a symbol of Sang Kala Tiga. Because the pig has the nature of rajas and tamas. While Brumbun rice is a symbol of Sattwam nature. With this, it is concluded that Sang Kala Tiga is a manifestation of the Tri Guna which is then called Tri Hita.

Penampahan Galungan in the form of a ritual is celebrated with the Natab Sasayut Penampahan ceremony or called Sasayut Pamyak Kala Laramelaradan. The meaning of this ritual procession is to remind people to build the strength of Wiweka Jnana or build self-strength to be able to distinguish between right and wrong. What is good and what is bad. Which one is proper and which one is not. Thus, we can strictly avoid mistakes that can lead us to an Adharma life. So, the slaughter of chickens and pigs is a symbol to slaughter greedy, quarrelsome traits, such as the vices of the chicken and the lazy qualities of the filth, like the pig.

Because the animal also has good qualities instinctively. Of course, it will be a waste if we celebrate this Penampahan day only with parties. It should be accompanied by reflection to earnestly try to slaughter the lazy and greedy qualities that may still be inherent in us. "Thus, at the next Galungan we will be better than the previous Galungan," he said.

One of the sources of human suffering in this world is because they are often entangled by lazy, but greedy nature. Wants to live comfortably and happily, but is lazy to try. This is the enemy of the man who often sneaks into him. In celebrating Galungan as a day to remind mankind to always be aware of himself, often lose against laziness and greed. As a result, humans also suffer because they often lost their lazy and greedy nature. Therefore, in Galungan celebrations are constantly reminded to always be aware of the two traits that can plunge humans into a life of suffering.

Laziness and greed come from Guna Tamas and Guna Rajah. Guna Tamas and Rajah will be positive if they can be controlled by Guna Sattwam. "Guna Tamas and Guna Rajas will show a positive aspect if they are under the control of Guna Sattwam," he said. And specifically in Buleleng, the Unique thing that is in Buleleng is not found In Bali, the other is celebrating the Hari Raya Pagerwesi, and the day before the Feast of Pager Wesi is the day of Pemampahan Pagerwesi, the people of Buleleng On this day do the slaughter of animals, namely chopping pigs, pigs are symbolized as lazy animals whose work only eats sleep and humans want to get rid of the lazy nature, butchering pigs,Pigs are symbolized as lazy animals whose work only eats sleep and humans want to get rid of the lazy nature, this pig slaughtering is usually done in groups and groups and (sculpturally) one pig is bought together and slaughtered in groups, it used to be now average Buying at the market is considered more practical, Buleleng residents who live outside the city usually go home because of the uniqueness of this pagerwesi only found every 6 months so Buleleng residents who are outside the city take advantage of this pagerwesi day to release the feeling of longing with their extended family while praying, usually Buleleng residents this is the homecoming on the day of the Pagerwesi penmpahan, where on this day dishes made from pork are cooked with various variations such as red lawar, peanut lawar, white lawar, satay, tum or pepes (message) all are still fresh and delicious, which naur sesangi or pay a vow will cook guling pork, this tradition of penmpahan pagerwesi only exists in North Bali, namely Buleleng makn anya is the word penmpahan which the basic word is nampah or nampeh which comes from the word nempa which means offering, while the word nempa comes from the word namya which means worship which means to give away meaning to return to its source, this penampahan is very important to be carried out to neutralize evil forces or negative energy into positive energy or good, so that balance occurs both in the inner bhuana alit or the great bhuana, the earth and the universe.
