Desa Pecatu Gelar “Macaru Madurga” Adapun sarana upacara yang digunakan berupa caru kepala anjing dan bebangkitan lain dengan tujuan untuk menghilangkan kecuntakean serta untuk menetralisasi. Ditemui di sela upacara, penglingsir Puri Agung Jro Kuta, I Gusti Ngurah Jaka Pratidnya yang akrab dipanggil Turah Joko, berharap kepada wisatawan ke depan supaya apa yang sudah digariskan oleh desa adat bersama pengelola agar tetap ditaati. Sehingga, peristiwa seperti ini tidak terjadi lagi di areal Pura Uluwatu. “Ini untung saja tidak terjadi di areal Utama Mandala, tapi di luar area Pura Uluwatu. Tapi tetap kita lakukan penyucian kembali terhadap tanah di sekitarnya,” katanya. Hal senada disampaikan Bendesa Adat Pecatu, I Made Sumerta, didampingi Manajer Pengelola Objek Wisata Kawasan Luar Pura Uluwatu, Wayan Wijana. Pihaknya berharap ada kesadaran semua pihak selaku umat, umat apa pun itu, jalan untuk menuju ke alam itu tidak baik dengan cara bunuh diri. Apalagi, kegiatan tersebut dilakukan di areal atau di wewidangan tempat suci yang disucikan oleh umat. “Harapan kami, semoga hal seperti itu tidak terjadi lagi, buka hanya di lingkungan atau kawasan suci, tapi di mana pun itu. Tentu BTN/kmb ini tidak sesuai dengan ajaran agama,” harapPenglingsir Puri Agung Jro Kuta, Turah Joko (tengah) bersama Bendesa Adat Pe- nya. elanjutkan upacara pecaruan alit yang sudah dilakukan 6 Januari lalu, pihak Puri Jro Kuta selaku pengempon Pura Uluwatu bersama Desa Adat Pecatu selaku pengemong, menggelar upacara Macaru Madurga, Minggu (15/1) di kawasan Pura Uluwatu. Prosesi Macaru Madurga ini di-puput Ida Pedanda Gde Telaga dari Griya Gede Telaga, Sanur.

Some of the them had visited Bali many times before, others were here for the first time and they all followed the the mejaya-jaya ritual piously. Pradnya Wati, founder and owner of Shanti Toya Ashram, yoga teacher at Fivelements and yoga assistant at Gokul Yoga Bali, said the mejayajaya is obligatory for anyone who studies yoga at Shanti Toya Ashram. All the participants in this program will become yoga trainers who will be able to guide those wishing to practice yoga. “The ritual is intended to expedite the process of learning yoga”, said Pradnya while added that he also enjoys sharing yoga online at www.shantiretreatsbali.org and www.gokulyogabali.com. By following the ritual, ex-
plained Pradnya Wati, the material studied in the yoga program will be easier to follow, absorb and practice. “Before learning yoga, all the participants must follow the purification rite and cleansing. This is our belief at Shanti Toya Ashram, The following day, the students start their three week yoga program” she said. Ida Panditha Mpu Putra Yoga Parama Dhaksa said that the purification rite is meant to cleanse one’s karma through mantras and that for those who believe, it is very effective. “Hopefully, what needs to be learned will be absorbed easily and quickly by the participants. If you trust the teacher, you can surely learn the lessons quickly”, she added.
one hundred pieces of rice bag are used in the procession. “Each family is obliged to bring six pieces (akelan) of rice bag. At local village, there are totally 104
nuclear families. On that account, the total number of rice bag to be scrambled amounts to 104 x 6 pieces,” he explained.

Dozens of Children at Sekardadi Join Mejurag Tipat Procession ozens of children at Sekardadi village, Kintamani, were very enthusiastic to scramble for rice bag in the mejurag tipat procession held by local customary village on Sunday (Jan. 15). The procession is in a series of nangluk merana (pest and disease prevention) ritual regularly held by Sekardadi village every year. As seen last Sunday, the mejurag tipat procession was held at street side right in front of the office of Sekardadi’s headman. Prior to the procession, a number village figures first held a ritual at the intersection of the local village. While waiting for the village leaders to complete the ritual, dozens of

children participating in the mejurag tipat procession have lined up across a pile of rice bag suspended by using a piece of bamboo. After given a cue by customary village apparatus and pecalang (customary security guard), dozens of children originally lining up then ran and scrambled for the rice bags. Other than for rice bags, they also scrambled for eggs tied together with the pile of rice bags. Chief of Sekardadi customary village, Nengah Madria, when met on Sunday afternoon explained that mejurag tipat procession is a part of the nangluk merana procession that is regularly held once a year. Usually this procession is organized by Sekardadi residents in December

(sixth month in Balinese calendar) falling on new moon or kajeng kliwon. However, since there was an obstacle for this time, the ritual procession was delayed after December. “We got an obstacle last December where one of our residents gave birth to twin babies so that all kinds of ceremonies could not be implemented at that time,” he explained. He told the procession is meant to neutralize any negative effects which occur on agricultural land of residents. He added the current procession belongs to the highest level because it uses ritual paraphernalia in the form of a cow and a pig. Madria explained that sequence of the procession was begun with the making of oblation at the border of Sekardadi and Pengotan village. Then, most of the oblations were presented in a ritual officiated over by village leader. After the ritual ended, it was resumed with mejurag tipat procession. “The ritual is implemented at two venues, namely at Mangkalan and central intersection of local village,” he said. He admitted that mejurag tipat procession was very eagerly awaited by children at the local village. Pursuant to the tradition inherited over the years, mejurag tipat procession can only be followed by children of local customary village aged about 10 years. Approximately
