For being religious is an obligation for everyone who has the faith to its religion. It can be showed by how people behave and interact with others. It also could be seen in their traditions which are connects them to the God. As Hinduism is a religion that very respect local culture, the practical of the tradition or pray is quite different from one place to another.
I’ve done an interview with Arak Agung Sagung Dwivandari Oka, the student of Faculty of Laws who is coming from Denpasar, Bali. She said that in Hinduism, the follower is asked to be honest to the god, Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wase and mainly to their selves. Because the main doctrine of Hinduism is that the followers could realize their own obligation, whether it is to god or human and nature. In praying for example, the followers suggested to pray (go to Pura) three times a day. They are when the sun rises, the sun in the middle of day, and the sun sets. No body will watch over them. It depends on the follower consciousness to do that pray as it suggested or not.
One of Hindu tradition that shows the relation of the followers and God is they will go to the beach one day before Nyepi to wash their selves by the sea water. The sea water is the media from Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wase to clean their body and their soul from the sin.
Another tradition of Hinduism is Masangih. It is the ceremony of shaping the teeth for teenager who will enter its adult. Commonly, people do this in the age of 15. One day before the ceremony, that person doesn’t allowed to go anywhere. Teeth that be shaped is the fang because It is a symbol of bad soul of Buta Kala. This ceremony symbolize the abolition of bad lust of human.
