3 lessons you can learn from the Balinese celebration, Galungan. Today, the Balinese celebrate Galungan, the victory of dharma (righteousness) over adharma (evil). Ancestral spirits of deceased relatives visit the Earth, and the Balinese offer them hospitality through prayers and offerings. On this day, the Balinese renew their commitment to improving themselves and being better each day. How can you apply the principles of Galungan to your businesses? 1. Harmony: The Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, emphasized during Galungan, promotes harmony among people, nature, and the divine. Building good relationships and finding balance with your stakeholders is key to a successful venture. 2. Long-term vision: Galungan celebrates the connection between the past, present, and future. Our actions impact future generations, and we must look beyond immediate gains to positively affect our family, community, and planet. Sustainable growth and lasting success over short-term gains. 3. Resilience: Galungan honors the triumph of good over evil, reminding us that challenges and setbacks are part of the entrepreneurial journey. Failures are growth opportunities, and you must bounce back stronger after a setback. Selamat Hari Raya Galungan semuanya! #Bali #SustainableBusiness #CulturalWisdom #baliindonesia
The spirit of the Balinese - Harmony, Vision and Resilience makes Bali an Island of the Gods as well as an Island of Humanity at its best. The next 10 Days of Galungan and Kuningan festival followed by the Nypei silent day are days of reflection ...so relevant to our world of turmoil and crisis.
What a culture!
