Barong Dance in Bali (Scary - real trance and animal behaviour!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- All cultures and religions have their own version of an ancestral combat between good and evil. Balinese Hinduism is no exception, with the fight between Barong (the lion looking figure) And Rangda (the female, white figure). The first represents the good, while the other is named the queen of the "leyaks" - men, whose spirit can be detached from the body and travel at night in pursue of evil deeds. The fight is staged in ceremonies all around Bali, and this one was filmed in Padang Bai on invitation by Pak Widana from Widana dive services (widana-dive.co.uk).
Local people get carried away during the ceremony and some get into trance, crying, screaming, or imitating animals. There are no actors in here, nor it is a staged tourist performance. All was captured during one ceremony, and it's as raw as it can be.
Camera used was Nikon D850, on Ronin S gimbal, and there was a lot of luck not to damage it, sometimes.
According to the Balinese culture
Rangda is considered as a evil goddess
But once the prince of Bali was nearly to death when he fought with rangda
He prayed and brought Barong (a Balinese god ) to the world to fight with rangda...and at last Barong won
To celebrate this a festival like this is celebrated in Bali
no, neither side actually wins
Rangda: In Javanese it is taken from the word Rongdo which means widow, and it is not Rangda but Mother Durga in her manifestation as Durga Ra Nini, Barong is the embodiment of Banaspati Raja, one of our 4 brothers, and in the end it is a tie, nothing is true really win, and please study better
@@igedekevin3093 I apologize, it has been two years since that comment. Since then, I've gained a deeper understanding of Balinese culture. Thank you for the correction.
@@HariharaMallarSV it's okay, just think of it as a misunderstanding
this is so beautiful! i cant imagine how high the energy was there! beautiful traditions

@@Foeeveeshut your polish mouth
@@Foeevee and you are a christian who has no understanding of the world, how it functions and what happens around you. You pray to a painted lifeless cloth and a dead piece of wood or metal in the form of a cross ... so yours is not better...
In Bali, this one in the video, is not just a dance. It's a ritual with so much meaning to it... usually performed during an important holy day in Balinese Hindu calendar...there are so many offerings prepared, priests are gathering chanting the mantra, Barong and Rangda represent the king of the spirits and also the demon queen (p.s the good over evil). the performance is not for entertainment but rather a sequence of ritual which is done to gather the deities and all of thy guardians.. there are hundreds of ceremonies in Bali with different types of rituals depending on the purpose of the ceremony. Mostly are done to keep the yin and yang or the Balinese calls it as Rwa Bhineda (spiritual harmony)
So for then to be poses by a demon, is make part from traditional culture, and is something normal like a bless?
@@ayeshasaeed3140 it is more like the spirit asking to borrow the body for a while to participate in the ritual or ceremony.
We have similar religious tradition in India... I m from Uttarakhand ( India) where it is practiced ,we call it "Jagar".As a ritual, Jagar is a way in which gods and local deities are woken from their dormant stage. The ritual is connected to the idea of divine justice and is practiced to seek penance for a crime or to seek justice from the gods for some injustice . Music is the medium through which the gods are invoked.Each family has its own Kul Devta / Kul Devi..
I visited Bali in April, it is so beautiful. I have fallen in love with Bali❤️
Pls play raji game...Its a mix of Indian and Balinese culture
Translation, pure demon summoning
The trance part reminds me a lot of the italian cultural and mythological phenomenon of tarantism, in which people who were believed to have been bitten by the "taranta" (mostly latrodectus tredecimguttatus or lycosa spiders but it's actually a mythological figure associated with a disease whose symptoms include shaking, nausea and local pain) had to be cured with the subject dancing on a particular kind of music (the "tarantella"), played with instruments like violins and tambourines by local musicians. This music used to induce the subject to a trance in which he/she followed rhythmical and repetitive paths of steps and acted like an animal, usually imitating the "taranta" itself. The dance could last from two to six days, in which the subject was looked after by his/her family and peers.
Some of the these people's actions look a lot like the actions of the "tarantati". Those similarities reveal how ancestral is the power of music and dance, beyond any culture.
That's new to me never heard of this. Cool info thanks my guy ☺️
@@shinigami1315 you're welcome! :)
You're handsome
Amazing thank you for the food for thought
Fascinating, wonderful comment. I knew about Italian Tarantula classical pieces in the 19th century but never knew of the origin of the dance.
What a precious clip as it gave us a peek into an ancient culture that’s still alive. I actually moved to tears while watching the real trance state the people were in. I have personally experienced being in a trance while dancing to ritualistic music. It’s an ecstatic experience that’s indescribable, it felt like I was being taken over by a divine force that’s existence itself. It’s deeply emotional, animal like and healing. If I tried to fight it and not surrender, it could turn scary for me. Please let go of judgement as you have to experience it to understand it. Thank you for posting this video 🙏🏼💗
Thank you so much for your kind words.
You need to be delivered from this, if you reed this in Jezus name out all demonic force out now!!

even many Christn have been healed by our Gods 😀 they come to our Priest...and believe Shiva, Vishnu and Durga are so powerfull.
you go to Bali it will look so funny..you want to spread the belief system with our Tantric knowledge in Bali lol
Do search on you tube or tiktok with some keywords: 1. Jero Balian Putu Robinson.
2. Gus Arjawa Wariga meteor
3. Tu aji Mangku
4. Jro Mangku Mayun
4. Jro Mangku Ajna....AND many more..cant mentioned here..no videos..very secret..
And there are still many Balinese Hindus who have high Mistique knowledge of Tantra shiva buda here, with several very secret text here...lol..
Beleieve system is nothing to compare Hinduism spiritual way of life...lol
@@roydeborahdejong978lol😂 idiot
We have very similar traditions in Myanmar. Many people believe there are spirits who look after them so they hold festivals like this for the spirits. People get into trances & believed to be possessed by spirits of humans & mythical creatures. Once, our neighbor's daughter who was a young lady got possessed by a creature that is a combination of a snake & a dragon. She rolled around in the mud & completely lost herself. I actually come from a family of strong believers and have seen many of my family members get into trance like state where they loose control of their body & mind, wouldn't remember what happened etc.. My mum thought they were BS & never got affected.
Thanks for sharing that experience. Would be awesome to watch it live.
its same in Thailand ...we got thai traditional tattoo called"Sak-Yantra" when they got teacher worshipday .they will act like this too
😮 possession of spirits
Thank you this is tradition from my village 🙏
Bali is so rich in culture. i can't wait to be back
This is based on ancient ceremony. In old black and white footage from the 1920's, no observers are seen laughing or mocking. The dancers in trance are supported physically, and gently brought out of trance with incense. It's sad to see this disrespect as the result of modern invasion and influence from foreigners.
I've been to ceremonies recently and there was no laughing when people were possessed.
Thanks for sharing, always good to learn & experience a bit of all cultures 💐❤️Vireka 🇿🇦
Have many ritual within the ceremony ... similar with haitian vodou ... the bringing of the food om the head ... the box on the head .... the blessing of the crowd ectttttt where i see is legit the small child im trance .... we might not be the same but we can not deny have energy around us that help us
Part of Hinduism 😍
I love my Balinese Hindu brothers and sisters!
I am following in love with Bali's ritual.
This is same as the karnataka culture ..karntaka panjurli festival is same as bali festival..panjurli god is a village protecter..same as barong..barong is lion and panjurli is boar spirit..🙏🙏
Ancestral spirit come to see their Descenden. 🙏🙏Rahayu Rahayu Sagung dumadi
Nice video
Balinese Hinduism is really beautiful 😍
In black culture/church because we believe so much in Christianity and the Holy Spirit, the people who are crying we would call them people who caught the Holy Ghost. There’s yelling, crying, running, passing out, speaking in tongues and praise dancing. As a young person I always thought it was funny as well as frightening when church and family members around would catch it. I now see it as a form of high praise to GOD, and I wish to experience catching the Holy Ghost because it can be life changing.
Believing is killing god himself. Practice with no personal opinions.
How do you if thats not the Holy Spirit but a Kumalendi Spirit? Be careful in "experiences" without grounding yourself in Biblical Truths. Because thats not how the H.S. manifest Himself
@@torrefrancajaphet4332 I’m not sure what a "Kumalendi spirit" is, but I’ve grown up with these people from little to adult age and if you’re insinuating something evil, I don’t believe it to be true in my experience. Speaking in tongues in my church is the Holy Spirit using those people to communicate to the lord, and I was frightened when I was smaller because it’s very chaotic if you’re in a room full of people who feel the spirit in them. There’s no voodoo or evil gain if, again, that is what you’re insinuating.
This is the ancient hindu tradition of Indonesia before islam/christianity came 🙏.. now only left in Bali
:)
what a unique tradition, so sad that islam and other abrahamic religions have ruined most of indonesian ancient culture.
budha juga kak,banyak kerajaan kita bercorak hindu/budha jaman dulu 🙏
Indonesia actually have their own religion even before Hindu & Buddha 😊 Rahayu Rahayu Rahayu
@@richarddawkins4607 you mean thank God. Don't you have eyes to see that these people were possessed by evil forces?
Seems demonic.
Great footage - what are the participants in a transe state drinking / gulping down from those recycled Teh Botol glass bottles? I'm guessing it's arak, as if it was water they would probably just use the ubiquitous small pastic bottles.
From the dances I've watched it's holy water. When possessed they gulp it down.
Every Gods/ Divine has their Vihicle (in form of animal)..
God (Deva) when come down to our material world always accompanied by their Vahana (Vihicle)
The Vahana of the divine in animal form
I think by “scary” you mean “awesome and culturally fascinating.” 😄
Indeed. It ain't much scary to me, as I know the people and their culture but I believe it can be so to the ones not accepting the spiritual side of things.
Demons are entering this people. This is extremely sad. I pray for them that i will meet them here in Bali to set them free on the name of Jesus Christ Lord and Savior how died on the cross and rose again for all of us!
@@roydeborahdejong978 Lol😂😀
this is the teaching of Tantra Nusantara. the science of union and detachment. So far, you have worshiped God in an invisible form and prayed in a comfortable room. in Bali the Gods we worship with scary forms..that way the fear goes away. In Yoga philosophy, a person who is still bound by fear can never unite with God. fear is the barrier between Atman and Brahman. Behind the scary goddess, she is actually very beautiful.
@@baggose2350 please tell me more. As I was ever told that this ritual a kind of self purifying from anxiety. I lived in Singaraja in 1964 when the Agung volcano erupted. I was still a child of 11yrs old, but I had some experiences being connected with invisible entity. I am now 69yr old and feel still being 'connected' with Bali.
@@baggose2350 i heal people from sickness and cast out demons in the street as well, no close doors, i have seen people manifesting more than this, this is just a little bit. Trust me, you are so wrong and you need Jesus Christ. But you will come back to me if you get nightmares and sleep paralysis and things like that.
This is a Hindu mistique ritual also search on you tube:
1. Nangkluk Merana
2. Pangerebongan
3. Calonarang drama
And many more..

God bless those men taking care of their women....
Holy sh*t the instrumentals at 6:33… Gamelan is insane. Anyone have recommendations for albums in this style? Heavy as f*ck
Just search for "Gamelan Gong Kebyar" (this is the main style nowadays in Balinese music). Lots of videos in youtube. You may also check the "Beleganjur" processional gamelan.

A cartoon movie in India based on this story rangda and barong
Yup Chhota Bheem and the throne of Bali
Everything possessed is actually the embodiment of the Almighty God.
Those who act like animals are the servants of the Holly Spark or we called Bhatara" bhatar mean protector
also the higher ones spirit are the holy rays of God we called Deva. All these invisible beings are the servant of Gods who always guard (Bhatara/ Dewa) as you can see the sacred object brought on their head. God is omnipotence
There is nothing outside of God's
everything in this universe is part of God..all is Gods..God is one
If the Sun is a source of heat, then the sun's rays and their sparks of ligjt are hot as well and provide warmth, in direct contact with all living things but the rays and sparks of the sun will never burn all creature..
I-umm nvm
Why its creepy tho? Just asking
All is God ultimately yes, but we still have good and evil on our plane of existence, where one can be possessed by spirits/jinns/non physical beings that are the servants of God in order to test and challenge us, which is highly contaminating to any individual involved.
its funny how scared the tourist got, they did not see it coming.
same culture is found in south asia Nepal 🇳🇵 search for #lakhe dance and the story is same and i am amazed
This was scary as per titles and its interesting to read all the comments with further explanation. In the Islamic tradition, its forbidden to invite or consort with demons.There's a veil between Humans and Jinn. Music also isn't permitted precisely because of its trance like effect and vehicle for programming a human. Only a "daf" (drum like) is allowed on special occasions. It wasn't easy it extract it from my life as I loved it but cannot describe the clarity of mind and space in the consciousness it freed when I stopped.
Having said this, Music is ubiquitous.
Malenab tao malenab my family name taga ilog cayagan Luzon I'm traditional old ways this is anitu old ways thank you the ways of our Austronesian peoples our ancestors live past present and future salamat salaam peace
Awesome and thank you 👍🙏
I have some doubts: the spirits that possess people in trance demonstrate intense hunger and thirst. Would they be spirits that could not completely disentangle themselves from human nature and because of that, have not yet reached the spiritual realm? Or do they carry some kind of remorse and because of that they are subjected to extreme senses of hunger and thirst (like the preta in Thai mythology)? I wanted to understand better.
--okay i give you the straight answer, they have taken poisonous plant that give nausea and other effects. It's actually beneficial at mild dosage as a psychological treatment. American Indians did the same with bloodroot.--
[edited] This was infirmed by a Balinese, so i remove it.
@@goognamgoognw6637 As far as I know, they haven't taken any hallucinogen or psychotropic drugs.
You can find some ideas from a westerner perspective in here: books.google.pt/books?id=WoLQAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT259&dq=bhuta+kala+balinese&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi9s6WttNP8AhWYT6QEHYiNDGcQ6AF6BAgOEAI#v=onepage&q=bhuta%20kala%20balinese&f=false
@@AlexRibeirosportsandculture really ? I have doubts.
@@goognamgoognw6637 Check it for yourself. It should be happening next month in Padang Bai.
What I don't clearly understand is: those in trance are embodiments of those deities (because they eat the offerings and drink something, not clear if it is alcohol or water)? Did those deities get into them to express themselves? Like we see in Candomblé and Umbanda in South America .... Or is the trance expression of something else?
@@michimacho73 It's a sort of holy water. Apparently they incarnate those spirits.
@@AlexRibeirosportsandculture I see, thank you for the answer 🙏🏽
I don't think science is working there...
7:10, interesting
It's like Meitei LAIHARAOBA at easternmost State of India.
What is even Happening ????
Edit:- I have one more question,at 3:09 I know there was a guy sitting with a mike doing the voices but whose voice was that supposed to be and what does it mean???
You can call it trance or possession. It's quite common in Bali, though not often documented.
Read Carl Jung
@@AlexRibeirosportsandculture BTW why are there more than one Rangda?
@@d.k.s.1311 Sorry, I don't remember why.
@@d.k.s.1311 its a balinese hinduism ceremony. And i assume u are from India? Is there also Rangda in India?

can i ask why a
the boy in 6:33 he screamed?
Some would call it trance, others possession. On a simple interpretation, I believe the boy visualizes the fight between good and evil in a very intense way and suffers the evil in his own body.
demons
This is just like doudini dance of Boro community in Assam State of North East India.males wear gamsa.
Thanks for letting me know. Will do some research on it.

This is holy holy balian asog ceremony this holy don't call it this is holy salaam peace
# The woman in green is also dancing #
It ain't no trance, demons enter the human flesh.
The music is nothing short fucking amazing.
You're listening to over 10 centuries of developing that music and those Gamelan instruments specific to Bali, it is an entire culture to learn to play these, children start at a young age. This a monumental culture, national cultures are extremely important and globalism is a major enemy trying to destroy local cultures.
They are all possessed by Wrong spirits.Run & Repent!
Which substance are they consuming?
None, as far as I know.
What are they drinking?
Holy water, as far as I know.
@@AlexRibeirosportsandcultureYes holy water
Parece aquelas coisas que acontecem em igreja cristã exemplo a presbiteriana
Is it really a trance/spirit possession? Feels fake, some are probably over acting it too.
Women in trance, boys having laughs. Interesting :D
Wait what did they do I didn’t get anything ?🤷♀️🤷♀️
Please have a read at the previous comments. You'll understand.
Garuda is the vihicle of Vishnu
Cow is Shiva vihicle..
All those animal.is the vihicle of the spirit..spiritual Guardian..
Barong, Rangda and all of this happened when Indonesia was part of Akhand Bharat, or the Indian Empire in its glory.
This was land without population when the Indians created it, that is why Buddhism and Hinduism are common in East and south-east Asia because it was part of India before others invaded India.
It could all be such a greater county today if it was one.
nice
Im so sorry, im a balinesse and i cant agree with this statement, barong and rangda is ancient culture even before hinduism come to bali this culture have been all in place, and after hinduism comes to bali all the priest teaching and connecting all balinese ancient culture with hinduism. And bali never be a part of indian empire. We accept india hinduism, but never change our ancient culture.
@@satriakokar820 ok,
History can be different for different people,
That's how I know it.
But we can never say that another's history knowledge is wrong because even if it would be modified none of us were present alive at that time and we never saw anything.
It is the ancient scriptures that decide and they can be modified/written by anyone in a million years.
@@aadi5277 yeah thats right, we doesnt know what happen for the past million years, but when some foreingner saw what u type here, they might have another perception about that and spread it without being clarify by balinese people itself. Being balinese and brings our pride to be cultured people sometimes going so worst if they doesnt understand it, and sometimes we all have bullied cause we still obeyed our ancient culture. And u just type bali is part of indian? Thats hurt me though but we are still a familly by religion but for historical we different and lot of differences.
@@satriakokar820 but i think its somewhat true because there are ancient shiv lingam temples , hindu god sculpture found in Indonesia , we all were one !
7:10, why would a colonial presume savagery at any time?
I can only imagine the churches in Canada and their savagery.
Reminds me of Evangelical kids screaming and speaking in tongues.
Why they are crying and what are they drinking... They lost conscious after drinking it
They're drinking either plain water or holy water, depending on the scene. They're crying as they're spirituality taking part in a good vs evil battle, and feeling the evil effects.
@@AlexRibeirosportsandculture the bottle is water alright but these people have absorbed a mildly poisonous plant sap that causes this state. It's actually beneficial and a good ritual. Many civilizations had this, including american Indians. All the westerners brainwashed by the biopharma lobby need to google 'opiates crisis' to see what their so called modern medecine is doing to million of them to make a minority rich.

8:40 what happened to those women? They're dancing while crying
They're in a trance like state - some may even not know how to dance, but the spirit dances through them. The way they're taken by the spirit isn't often peaceful, and some don't like and feel ashamed of behaving this way.
possessd by jinns/non physical entities
Why animal behavior?
Because, near the end, one young man is walking with 4 limbs and eating from the floor, the same way dogs do.

But why are some of them laughing 😅

What happend with the girls????
Please read the other comments. Long story short, they're in trance induced by the music and the story being enacted - a battle of good vs. evil.
