Globalization has led people to an intense struggle between the local values and global culture. The value system of our Local tradition which has been used as a reference by the society has changed due to the influence of the globalization, this is happens especially to the advancement of information technology that accelerate the process of those changes. The process of globalization has also penetrated the religious life which is sacred into a secular one, which can cause tension for peoples faith. The establishment of our local values has changed which then lead us to psychological anxiety and identity crisis among the people (rdi!a, "##$%&'(. The era of globalization has restricted the world and ma!e it seamless, ) mean in any information weve got from in the social, political, economic, and cultural influence will soon affect the world. The main characteristic of globalization is the rapid changes in all forms of order and the values of life, so it was concluded that one who does not follow the change will be left behind, even crushed by the times. *o, people that living in a globalize world must have the strength and power to !eep change and move on. +here do the changes ta!e us, and do ,indu scriptures describe about it- .rom the perspective of ,induism, the condition of today/s age has been predicted in the boo!s of the 0urana (Gambirananda, &1'2% 3)))(&4( ( which states that since r5una grandson 0ari!sit crowned as an emperor of ,astinapura on .ebruary &', 4&#" 67., 8an!ind has begun to enter the 9aliyuga era. 9ali :uga means the era of chaos, it is mar!ed by the declining of the spiritual life because of domination of the material life. ;n this era human is orientates based on the secular pleasure (!ama( which are temporal and impermanent, if this continues to be followed, then it is li!e a fire doused with !erosene or gasoline, it will not be extinguished, but destroys human beings. The characteristic of this age is more obvious in the era of globalization which mar!ed by the rapid flow of information, driven by the development of technology oriented by the hedonism. +ithout intention to ignore the positive impact of globalization, the negative impact seems need to be more concern. Globalization eliminates the culture of nation boundaries. +estern culture is very easily absorbed by the nations of the <ast and if it is not controlled well, it would destroy the culture or civilization in a nation. )t seems that people can easily be provo!ed everywhere. The ,indu perspective gives a room for those essential changes. 0arasara =harmasastra &.44 says% YUGE YUGE CA YE DHARMAS TATRA TATRA CA YE DVIJAH TESAM NINDA NA !ARTTAVYA YUGA RUPA HI TE DVIJAH %>ules and ethics that apply in every age are always different? intellectuals who led the transformation of society in a particular period of time can not be blamed for the fact that an era is made because of those transformation. ,owever, the changes referred to in ,indu scriptures is meant that @edas do not allow violations of dharma, but always advocated peace, social harmony, avoid tension, and prevent conflicts. lthough the principles of dharma contains the ultimate truth so then it called as sanatana dharma, but the rules change from time to time because it is a product of time and will always be replaced by time. Therefore dharma can not be identified with certain institutions. =harma persisted as rooted in human naturalness and will remain immortal. The 8ethod of =harma is an experimental method. ll institutions are experimental, even this life is an experiment. 8an as an agent of development can not move the habits from a specific time of era into another one easily without ma!ing changes and ad5ustments. 8oral ideas about social relations are not absolute, but are relative to the needs and conditions of different types of people and its culture. Though dharma is eternal, but it does not have absolute contents so it can penetrate the line of time and ages. The only eternal thing that lives with the human morality is desire to be better human!ind. ,owever, it is the time and the conditions that determine /what/s better/ in every situation. .orms of actions are considering as a good or bad one at different stages of human civilization, depending on whether it improves or inhibits human happiness. *ocial flexibility has become the main character of ,induA=harma. Therefore maintaining *anatana dharma is not done with silence, but by mastering the vital principles and applies them to modern life. developed nation will always be able to give meaning to their historical experiences. The principles of dharma in the scale of value should be maintained through pressures of new experiences in inside out. ;nly with it, the gate for achieving social progression which is integral and stable would be open. ;ur intellectuals should be able to introduce the dynamics of the global changes, manage it in such a way to ma!e the ,induA=harma relevant to the modern situations. These changes is the impact of the new movement happens in our community, it is include% industrialization in the agricultural sector, the abolition of privileges with the pattern of common benefits, the inclusion of those nonA,indus into the ,indu society, the emancipation of women versus male authority, and mixing race B ethnicity B religion through marriage. dvanced society will be achieved if the ideal conditions appear better than the actual condition. )t means the brilliant ideas from our intellectuals should be able to produce new concepts, innovation and creativity, both in science and social matter. They should always be oriented to the public service with intellectual integrity. 6ased on it, if you loo! at the situation and condition of ,induism in 6ali today, the idea of C5egA6aliC is a worth idea to discuss in our society considering that the effect of the globalization affects our society. t the individual level, 5egA6ali 6ali defined as the ability of 6alinese people to have the cultural confidence, the confidence to hold the firmness of our identity which is creative that encompasses all aspects, and not 5ust simply focus on the physical things. t the level of cultural environment, 5egA6ali interpreted as the space of creation of 6alinese 7ulture that inclusively, multiAculturally and selectively lives against outside influences. t the level of cultural processes, 5egA6ali 6ali defined as a human interaction with a living space of 6alinese culture to deliver products of new cultural symbol through a process based on the values of moderate, nonAdichotomous, local genius and environmental awareness in an appropriate time and manner. 6ased on those three levels, it was agreed that 5egA6ali is not a stagnant concept, but rather as an ongoing effort to reform continuously which is done by the 6alinese people mindfully. The goal is obviously to maintain identity, space, and the process of the 6alinese culture. This effort will lead to an enhancement of the 6alinese people to !eep them stand under the cultural hegemony of global conDuest. 5egA6ali is not an involution process, but a process of creation and evolution from the development of local genius, wisdom, and the traditional awareness based on the principal of sanatana dharma so then preservation can be maintain dynamically. Thus a5egA 6ali will appear as a culture excellence that can survive and compete in the global world.
