Trisandya
The Trisandya (from Sanskrit: त्रिसन्ध्या पूजा, romanized: Trisandhyā Puja, lit. 'three-cusp prayer') is a commonly-used prayer in Indian Hinduism and Balinese Hinduism. It is uttered three times each day: 6 am at morning, noon, and 6 pm at evening, in line with the Sandhyavandanam tradition.[1][2]
History
[edit]Prior to Indonesia independence, standardized prayers did not exist in Balinese Hinduism. Only brahmins recited mantras in temple environments. After the declaration of Indonesia independence in 1945, Sukarno enshrined the Pancasila, or Five Principles, as the basis of the new state, the first of which is "Belief in the one and only God". The Ministry of Religious Affairs, created in 1946 to enforce this principle, initially did not recognize Hinduism, and its adherents faced pressure to convert to either Christianity or Islam.
To gain official recognition, Balinese Hindus systematically reformed the religion along the lines of Christianity and Islam. One such reform was the synthesis of the Puja Tri Sandya, which was modelled along the Adhan (call to prayer) in Islam and the Angelus prayer in Christianity. Starting from the 1950s, the mantra was taught to schoolchildren. After the granting of official religious status to Hinduism in 1963, the Puja Tri Sandhya began to be broadcast on loudspeakers and radios.
Starting from the 1980s, it has also been broadcast on televisions as well.[3]
