About the book
This book is as a result of a comprehensive study on the developments and teachings of
Siwa-Buddha cult in ancient Java based on records got in the fields of archaeology,
literature, history, and religious practises as found in Bali. The author in addition to talks
about the periodization of Javanese and Balinese histories, he talks about philosophical
aspects of it, like metaphysics, ethics, and religion. These elements are viewed as a
whole unit forming religious practises. This book is perhaps the first in its kinds that
discusses the issues from multidisciplinary studies and it becomes the only book

continued in Bali in the post Majapahit emperor period. Prof Edy Sedyawati has given a
foreword that throws some lights on the significance of the book in the fields of
