?Jnyanam tapo ?gniraharaumrin?
?manovaryupajanam vayuh?
?kamarkakalau ca sudheh?
?krtrini dehinam?
 (Manawa Dharmasastra, V.105)

Meaning: that purification for living things is science, the sanctity of fire, sacred food, motherland, 

mind control, bhasma water, wind, sacred rites, the sun and the time

               Definition of purification in this temple is holy in body and mind. Holy spiritually is a pro-

cess to  eliminate  the  influences  klesa  in  man.  Klesa means dirty. There are five of Klesa which

or   handsome.  Asmita  means  selfish, Dwesa  is malice and  Abhiniwesa  is  fear.  If  five klesa it 

dominates a person's life, life exactly  become a  dirty life. To  rid yourself of soiled the power five 

klesa  is  not easy. Really need  a conviction to against  klesa. To strengthen   the mental and moral

that people should invoke God's guidance. This is seemed based of mind ancestor of  Hindus in the 

village of Keramas, Blahbatuh, Gianyar. That is causing  Selukat temple in  the middle of rice field 

in Subak Tuas. This temple is to worship God and it?s  manifestation as a  conduit of riddence with 

holy water as  symbol  because in liturature of  Hindus can use  means  like motherland, agni, solar,  

sacred ceremonies, and so on. But, in Bhuwana Kosa  sanctification  with Jnyana or  sacred science 

is ultimate. If this  Jnyana  applied  appropriately  to  strengthen  the  love of God (God Abhimana), 

the truth and the sacred duty (dharma Abhimana) and love  the  homeland  in the form  of devotion 

to the homeland (Village Abhimana).

            In the temple Selukat there are  two statues of Pandita.  For remember the function pastor to 

lead  the  people to explore  the teaching  of contained in sacred literature. As a guide the faithful in 

sacred  literature  to  explore  the  contents  of  clergymans called Acarya.  While  clergymans  who 

?Ngaloka Pala Sraya?  leads  sincere  ceremony in the field called Srotria. Two functions of clergy-

mans who symbolized as Pandita statue in the temple  Selukat. Two clergymans  function is guiding 

the society with religious social life. When clergymans have reached the level sanyasin, appropriate 

of Agastia Parwa incorrect  again to be involved  in public life.  Sanyasin means to escape  from the 

mundane life at all. The simply concern only?patilaring tanupa guruken Atma?. That is just learned  

continues to release Atma of his body sarira. Selukat Temple is a temple to guide  the general public. 

This temple as the basis why there  only  two  Pandita  statue in  the temple Selukat. In addition, the 

guidance of pastors as  Adi Guru Loka is guiding people to get  spiritual  guidance and  worldly life  

or in the  life here  and noetic. The main function  Selukat  temple is as  relational to invoke God to 

purify his life on this earth. Lord as god of water riddence is Ganesha. The function is as Wighnagh-

na god or Wighneswara god and Vinayaka  god. God worshiped  as a god  Wighnaghna to get confi-

dence for against life obstacle that comes from outside ourself.

With worship Gana god, that believed to protect youfrom outside attacks yourself. While Holy water to against disruptionof life that comes from within. Holy water is symbol of the power of Lord Shiva. In Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva is the father of Lord Ganesh. This illustrates that the enemy inside of ourself much more powerful than the enemy that from outside the self. In Kekawin Nitisastra stated: ?Norana satru mengelwihaning hana geleng ri hati?. That means, no enemy more than the enemywho is inside. This is the logic of whythe god of holy water is Gana God. Gana God as a guide to motivate people, so that not underestimated the enemy is within ourself. The enemy within ourself much too stronger than the enemy outside because God who worshiped in creating holy water is Lord Sivha. While the holy wateris Gana God.  Beside, Gana God as wellas the god Wigheswara, The god as Vinayaka god too. Vinayaka godis God in manifestation as "the god of Wisdom." Vinayaka meanswise. Wise isa step taken bya healthy sense controlled by the intelligence of the mind with the conscious control budhi. In circumstances like that the sanctity of ourself can be realized.
