Nyepi Day - Bali Silence Day As a feast day, presumably, this retains the most comprehensive meaning. It involves some aspects of life like the environmental, mental and spiritual aspects. The celebration procession will commence a few days before Nyepi. All customary villagers perform the melasti purification rites for the sanctified effigy and ritual paraphernalia to source of water nearby. The, it’s resumed with exorcism rite (buta yadnya) or percaruan from the provincial level to the hamlet and even to every individual household at the center of its respective territory. Philosophically, this ritual procession aims at balancing the invisible power of positive and negative elements. Finally, all devotees attend worshipen masse at the village temple to express their gratitude for the yester year and invoke to be guided in covering the path in the forthcoming year. This ritual is usually carried out right one day before the Nyepi or known as the Pengerupukan falling on the black moon or last date of the ninth month of the Balinese calendar. In the meantime, an attractive show of ogoh-ogoh puppets (huge figure) in great variety put an end to the procession at each village before the nightfall.
Practically, they would be no car in operation, throughout Bali, as all entrance gates to Bali would be closed 24 hours. This lasts from 06:00 until the same time on the next day. Bali is thoroughly in a silence atmosphere. No smokes and roars of car for a day (24 hours). It’s just like an annual car-free day that recharges new life by fresh air to the island of Bali prior to entering the Saka New Year. Similarly, it gives an opportunity to nature enjoying its “freedom” without the touch of human activities. In other words, it celebrates its life in the hope it could give us a life of better quality. Nyepi should not only be marked with annual rituals and its grandiose procession but also give more emphasis on something beneficial to the life itself. Coming annual means it’s regularly reminds the human being of making introspection. It is also celebration of life. When we have conserved the nature and use eco-friendly products, it would be unfair it we don’t apply the body-friendly products. We should say no to drugs and re-consider the excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks or inhale nicotine. It means to balance the conservation of nature and life that finally brings happiness to all. Let’s celebrate this feast day and out live concurrently.

The Nyepi feast day falls on the first date of the tenth month in Saka Year 1929. In the morning, devotees can feel how tranquil the day is. Singing of birds graces the day and accompanies some butterflies and dragonflies flying from one flower to another. It’s a peaceful, silent day just happening once a year. So, what do people do then? They undertake the so-called four abstinences or catur bratha penyepian. It encompasses the absence of lighting fire, turning on any entertainment, no activities and traveling. Devotees of other religions also respect their Hindu counterparts. Public service like hospital and hotel are appealed to appreciate this celebration by turning on minimal outdoor light and more focusing their activities in door. Thus, The Hindu are all staying at home for undertaking self contemplation during the Day of Silence. By those abstinences, they attempt to control their passion and senses as the initial condition that enables devotees to do self-control before performing further steps in their spiritual development.
