Have you ever hear about kala.. and What means KALA?
Well, The "Kala" means "TIMES". There are a lot of names of KALA. Example: Kala Rahu, Bhuta Kala, etc. If you have been in Bali, you see a lot of statues represent Demon. That is one of Kala. So, why in Bali there are a lot of Demon? It means that the balinese people like Demon or the ancestors of balinese are Kala?
If you see a statue of Demon, you will see the big eyes, the big teeth, the big tusks, the bid stomach with the traditional weapon on their hands.
Why the balinese represent the Kala like that?
Let me explain to you:
Kala or Times eat a lot. Everything's are eaten by Kala. We are eaten by Kala too. Who or what aren't eaten by Kala?
That is why the balinese represent Kala like that, because We all live in Times.
Balinese people are friends with Kala. That is why in Bali, there are a lot of ceremonies depend on Kala / Times.
Every times there are something happened in their village or their home or everywhere, the balinese make the ceremony.
Do you remember when there was a Bomb in Kuta? After that the balinese made the ceremony to minimalist the influence of Bad Times. When there are a full moon and a dark moon, the balinese make also the ceremony, because the moon influence the human body. That is why when there are a full moon, there are a lot of people become very aggressive. At that time, balinese make the pray or ceremony just to calm their mind down. It is just one way to minimalist the aggressively.
The balinese make also the ceremony in the twilight (the times when the sun go down but the sky is still bright). Why? Because at that times is the change from the day to the night. In this times when we see something or someone, we don't see clearly. The balinese people normally pay more attention, because we don't see clearly. In that times the balinese believe that the Bhuta Kala go out to look for the food. The food are the offerings that the balinese women put everywhere in their houses or in the intersection or in front of their shops to minimalist the bad influence of Bhuta Kala.
