Sang Hyang Widi

Sang Hyang Widi is a concept in Balinese Hindu belief referring to the universal, divine spirit that pervades everything. It represents the supreme, all-encompassing force that creates and sustains the universe, often seen as the source of life and the ultimate truth. Unlike personal gods with specific forms or attributes, Sang Hyang Widi is more abstract, embodying the oneness and spiritual essence behind all existence. It emphasizes harmony, balance, and respect for the natural and spiritual order, encouraging individuals to connect with the divine through devotion, meditation, and reverence for nature.
