The Nyepi Day 1937 Saka fell exactly on this day March 21, 2015. That day fell by count Tilem Kesanga (IX) which is believed to constitute the purification of gods central Amrita ocean that bring the essence of living water. For the Hindus to worship sacred to them.
Nyepi itself means quiet (silent). Nyepi is actually a celebration of the Hindu New Year calendars/calendar Çaka, which began in 78 AD. Unlike the new year celebration AD, Saka New Year in Bali begins with solitude. No activity as usual. All activities are eliminated, including public services, such as the International Airport was closed, but not to the hospital.
The main purpose Nyepi is pleading before God Almighty, to purify Bhuana Alit (human nature/Microcosmos) and Bhuana Agung/macrocosmos (the universe). Before Nyepi, there are a series of ceremonies that do Hindus, particularly in the area of Bali.
For those of you celebrating Hari Raya Nyepi, I say, Rahajeng Nyanggra Rahina Nyepi Nawa Warsa Saka 1937
