Story of Bali, Indonesia It couldn't be true. The voice persisted."I am sorry to tell you but Tjokorde Agung died early last Thursday morning I first met The Tjokorde Gede Agung Sukawati while I was sitting in the bar at Tjampuhan Hotel, sipping an air jeruk before lunch. A well-groomed, middle-aged Balinese, in the traditional local dress, strolled in from the garden and, as he passed my table, paused to greet me and inquire whether I was enjoying my stay. Having just arrived in Bali I was not used to the genuine interest the Balinese show in their visitors. When he asked my name, I answered briefly and asked, somewhat indignantly, what was his. "I am Agung", he said simply. Then, after a pause, added: "Tonight I am making an offering for the spirit of my dead brother. If you would like to see something of our traditions, you might care to come to the Puri about seven this evening."

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. Everything Bali Indonesia |
