Water is an important subject in Hinduism, including in Bali. The Bhagawad Gītā, Mānava Dharmaśāstra, and a number of manuscripts in Bali teach water conservation. However, there is currently water pollution in lakes, rivers, and the sea. This is a cause for concern, because Bali has been famous for its natural beauty and sustainability. The main cause of pollution is human activity, such as garbage and waste disposal, which affects water quality. This is contrary to Hinduism, which teaches the preservation of nature, including water. Before the pollution gets worse, it is necessary to build awareness of water conservation. The government and traditional villages have issued various regulations. This needs to be implemented by the community for the sustainability of the environment, especially the quality and quantity of water in Bali. The method used in this paper is qualitative with literature review. Several research results on water in Bali were collected and then analyzed. The author also took information from mass media and books. The results from this article reveal that the reality of pollution in several lakes in Bali contradicts Hindu teachings, which emphasize the importance of water conservation. This scientific article is expected to inspire all interested parties to jointly preserve water for nature and human life.

Various arts and traditions that were born from human creativity eventually became the salience from each region of their maker. Gamelan is one of the many traditional Indonesian riches that was born from various considerations of thought, idea, notion, taste, and creativity of humans. Gamelan is a group of musical instruments with different beat patterns that are used in playing songs / ending. The emergence of the gamelan began when Hindu-Buddhist culture started to dominate the archipelago. There are several types of gamelan including Javanese gamelan, Sundanese gamelan, Banjar gamelan, Minang gamelan, and Balinese gamelan. All types of gamelan have their own uniqueness according to the area where it is developed.

Gamelan is not only used as a musical accompaniment in traditional arts but is also used in various religious rituals. In Bali, almost all religious activities, especially in Hindu religious ceremonies, always use gamelan accompaniment. Balinese gamelan is one of the elements of the five voices (panca suara) that are always present in every yajna ceremony in Bali. These five voices cannot be separated from the Hindu aesthetic concept where each sound produced has a philosophical meaning. Balinese gamelan that is present in various Hindu rituals in Bali is not only for entertainment but also has a magical value that can vibrate the atmosphere. This article will discuss the philosophy of Balinese gamelan in aesthetic constellations.

In essence, every human being must have the desire to know the truth about the existence of God, but to show this evidence is not easy, because it is abstract. Even though they want to express their experiences while seeking God, but it was still very difficult for him to express God in words. Due to different concepts of divinity this creates many ideas about the figure of God. God is the universe itself and has an abstract nature. To understand the abstract we need to understand the essence of God through understanding the nature of the birth of the self.
