Trisandya

The Trisandya (from ) is a commonly used prayer in Indian Hinduism & Balinese Hinduism. It is uttered three times each day: 6 am, noon, and 6 pm, in line with the Sandhyavandanam tradition.

==History== Before Indonesian independence, standardized prayers did not exist in Balinese Hinduism. Only brahmins recited mantras in temple environments. After the declaration of Indonesian independence in 1945, Sukarno enshrined the Pancasila, or Five Principles, as the basis of the new state, the first of which is "Belief in the one and only God". The Ministry of Religious Affairs, created in 1946 to enforce this principle, initially did not recognize Hinduism, and its adherents faced pressure to convert to either Christianity or Islam.
