Keeping the Balance in Bali | Episode 2

In this episode of The NOW! Bali Podcast, we share the unique way in which the Balinese Hindu perceive disaster as well as deal with disaster. This is a nice segue into the discussion of 'balance': how mankind is at the centre of balance between 'good' and 'evil'; and the purpose of ceremonies and offerings in keeping that balance.
