A famous
greeting you should know when travels on the Bali island
Travel to
Bali, you can enjoy beautiful beaches, nature, landscapes, of course Balinese culture,
spirituality, temple, food, and peaceful people. You should learn the Balinese greeting to
make a connection with local and experience a complete Bali atmosphere. Here I
share this greeting:
Om
Swastyastu,
It’s simply meant,
“I hope all good comes from all directions”
Balinese
society has ways to greet each other, their coverage of his/her hand across
his/her chest and say Om Swastyastu
“This is a
form of respect for fellow human beings, by saying that hope we meet in the
good feelings and thoughts in order to establish a harmonious relationship.”
“If the
coverage of the hand over the crown then it shows reverence to worship God, if
the coverage of the hand between the forehead, then it shows reverence to the
ancestors, if the coverage of the hand in front of the chest, then it shows
respect to fellow human beings, if coverage under the hand and looked down then
it shows respect to the lower creatures than human beings like animals and
other spirits (or bhuta kala).”
This
greeting can be pronounced morning, afternoon, evening, and night. It is very common you say Om Swastyastu when see
each other.
Hopefully
Om Swastyastu auspicious greetings to give you a harmony stay in Bali.
