Woagh Galungan(23/01/2008) and Kuningan has come , Happy Galungan and Kuningan Day to who celebreting , including me. Galungan is very important day for Hindu People's especially in Indonesia, the day that good defeat bad, good in hindu called Dharma and bad called Adharma, the war (Dharma v Adharma ) is not phisically but mentally (the bad guy called Bhuta Kalla), Bhuta Kala try to attack,defeat,and overcome our mind, if that happen we called that 'leteh' or we can say that we 'dirty', because if that happen our mind, act and canfab can result bad things to us and other, in this day (Galungan) the God send creed might and mental holiness to defeat 'Adharma'. The Core of Galungan is unite the mental might to gain clear institution and mental, because with clear insitution and mental we can defeat 'Adharma'

Tomorow(22/01/08) is the Penampahan day , Galungan basicly have 3 days , Penampahan, Galungan and Manis Galungan.

• Penampahan Day, women is very busy to make preparation for ceremony, like 'Sesajen' (offering, but that not exactly the meaning of sesajen) that will be held in Galungan and the man made 'Lawar' ,'Sate' and other various traditional Baliness food that some use for 'Sesajen' and after finishing making food , they continue to build 'Penjor' that symbol we pray to our God, i like this day because so many food to eat :D, that rare in daily (usualy you can buy at traditional baliness restaurant, like sate or lawar for example )
