Hari Raya Saraswati - Bali
June 25, 2016

Hari Raya Saraswati is devoted to God's manifestation as Dewi Saraswati. As described by legend, Saraswati is the wife of Brahma, Goddess / protector of knowledge, awareness, and literature. It was upon this feast day for Hindus that the Hindu people commemorated man's descent into the world of science, with Saraswati coming down to earth in order to spread the sacred science for the benefit of mankind.
 
Balinese Hindus see knowledge as a key aspect of the fulfillment of human potential, and as such, believe Saraswati's grace to thank for the civilization and culturing of man. Holding knowledge and awareness with great reverence, the cyclical custom of honouring the Goddess continues on - paying respects with gratitude for the prosperity, peace, progress, and enhancement of human civilization Saraswati's decent has brought. On the day, all sources of  knowledge such books (especially the sacred "lontar," or "palm leaf"), manuscripts, inscriptions, and stationary writing used for teaching or teaching of religion, morality, etc are cleaned, collected, arranged in a place in temples to be blessed with offerings of holy water, fruit, and flowers as a tribute to Goddess Saraswati.
