Bali Purification Ceremony
The melukat ceremony is a ritual to cleanse the body- both spirituality and physically, from our present life as well as past life, from negative element by washing in the holy water
Holy water plays a key part in a Bali Purification Ceremony and visiting a ‘Tirta’, a sacred place of water purification, is a common event in Bali. When local Balinese feel stressed or unbalanced, they participate in water blessings called ‘Melukat’, believing that these sacred rituals cleanse the body, physically, spiritually and emotionally
What is a Bali Purification Ceremony?
This Bali purification ceremony begins with some prayers at the temple. Sanskrit mantras are chanted as we follow our guide in raising a white frangipani between hands in prayers to honour the God of the sun. Incense wafts about us as we ask for blessings from Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. Tour Guide takes the ‘canang’ flowering offerings we previously helped to make in the village and uses them to ask for more blessings before we enter the water. Above us are eleven Hindu Gods, each representing a positive quality in life;
As we stop before each statue, from which flows sacred spring water, we pause as Guide explains the significance of each. The ritual involves splashing the face three times, drinking three times and covering the body and head three times, whilst asking for each specific quality given. The whole process takes around twenty minutes.
Taking part in a Bali Purification Ceremony is a healing experience and one which makes me feel honoured to be connected to such a spiritual land.
