A child born in Bali awakens to a wondrous world of expectation. His father has Hong centered his hove on having children, preferably a male child who will care him in his old age and, after his death, perform the necessary rites to liberate his soul for reincarnation. A new born baby is believed to have just emerged into this life from a spiritual realm and is respected as holy the impure earth and is carried every where, often riding on the hip of an older sister. Ceremonies are held for him at prescribed intervals, culminating in his first Balinese birthday at 210 day. Offerings are made by the priest and he is allowed to touch the ground for the first time.
As soon as he can walk, the child is set free wander all over the village with other children his age, some times going on excursions that last all day. In this society of his own, he grows to be self reliant at a very early age. At home he is treated cordially, taken by his parents wherever the go, and coaxed into obedience as an equal. He is never beaten, for were one to strike a child, it my harm his tender spirit

in Bali we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated. Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the redemption of their souls.
