Tantra and Yoga have been at the heart of Bali's spiritual tradition since at least the 9th century, laying the foundations of Balinese culture as we know it today. The stories of ancient yogis and yoginīs are preserved in mythologies, ancient manuscripts, and archaeological relics, providing a profound window into the rich spiritual heritage of Bali. These teachings are not only recorded in sacred lontar texts but also come alive in various cultural expressions—from traditional performances to sacred rituals. The principles of Tantra and Yoga, rooted in both Śaiva and Buddhist traditions, have shaped archetypes of yogis and yoginīs that remain deeply ingrained in Balinese society, influencing not only spiritual pursuits but also practices in healing, the arts, and priesthood. Iconic legends such as those of Bharadah and Calonarang go beyond classic tales of folklore and performance; they embody ancient Tantric and Yogic wisdom that continues to enrich Bali’s spiritual landscape and offer deep guidance for those seeking balance in modern life. This enduring legacy remains highly relevant, bridging the wisdom of the past with the spiritual quest of today’s world.
