Kehidupan dan Wafat

Pada awal tahun 1946, pada usia 38, Anak Agung Pandji Tisna berpindah agama, dari beragama Hindu menjadi beragama Kristen, sebuah tindakan yang berbeda di tengah masyarakat Bali yang umumnya beragama Hindu dan memandang agama sebagai bagian tak terpisahkan dari budaya dan etnisitas. Karena itu, ia sendiri menulis bahwa karena ia beragama Kristen sementara masyarakatnya beragama Hindu, ia tidak cocok menjadi raja Buleleng.

Tahun 1947 ia secara sadar turun dari takhta kerajaan. Kedudukan raja dilanjutkan oleh adiknya Anak Agung Ngurah Ketut Djelantik atau I Gusti Ketut Djelantik yang dikenal dengan nama Meester Djelantik sampai pengakuan kedaulatan Indonesia oleh Belanda pada tahun 1949 dan Anak Agung Ketut Djelantik menjadi raja Buleleng terakhir.

Pandji Tisna juga terkenal karena ia merupakan tokoh perintis pariwisata Bali, khususnya di daerah pantai utara. Pada tahun 1953 Pandji Tisna memilih lokasi Desa Tukad Cebol (kini Desa Kaliasem) sebagai tempat peristirahatannya. Di situ ia menulis dan menerima tamu-tamunya dari dalam maupun luar negeri. Tempat peristirahannya itu dinamainya "Lovina", yaitu singkatan dari kata "Love Indonesia". Setelah itu, Pandji Tisna mendirikan tempat-tempat penginapan di pantai barat Buleleng tersebut, dan seluruh daerah itu kemudian dikenal sebagai pantai Lovina. Karena itu Pandji Tisna juga diakui sebagai "Bapak Pariwisata Bali". Pada tahun 2003, Pemerintah Daerah Bali menganugerahi kepadanya secara anumerta penghargaan "Karya Karana" sebagai pengakuan atas jasa-jasanya dalam pengembangan pariwisata Bali.

Anak Agung Pandji Tisna meninggal dunia 2 Juni 1978 dan dikuburkan dengan upacara agama Kristen di tanah pekuburan pribadinya di atas sebuah bukit di desa Seraya - Kaliasem di sebelah sebuah gereja yang telah lebih dahulu dibangun olehnya.(1)

Life and Death

During his reign, he became the leader of the Council of Kings of all of Bali from 1946 to 1947 (Paruman Agung) and the Regent of Buleleng.

In 1947, because his uniquely Christian faith did not fit in with the predominant Hindu religion, Pandji Tisna surrendered the throne to his younger brother, Anak Agung Ngurah Ketut Djelantik or I Gusti Ketut Djelantik, also known as Meester Djelantik, until 1949.

Pandji Tisna is best known as a novelist. His novels, which all took place in Bali, especially in Singaraja, his birthplace,[clarification needed] were published by Balai Pustaka. Many of his short stories were published in Terang Bulan magazine in Surabaya. He also took the time to write poems, such as Ni Poetri, which was published by Sutan Takdir Alisyahbana in Poedjangga Baroe magazine in Jakarta.

Pandji Tisna had a varied career as a merchant, secretary to his father, Headmaster of Elementary School, Editor of Jatayu magazine, and farmer, before succeeding to the throne on the death of his father on 25 July 1944. He was Chair of the Balinese Council of Kings from 1946–1947, but abdicated in favour of his brother, Meester Djelantik, in 1947.

He was a member of the Provisional Parliament of the State of East Indonesia from 1946-1948.

Pandji Tisna is also remembered as a pioneer of Balinese tourism, especially in the northern beach district. In 1953, he chose Desa Tukad Cebol (now Desa Kaliasem [Kaliasem Village]) as his holiday home. There he wrote and received both local and foreign guests. He named his holiday home Lovina, which is an abbreviation of words Love Indonesia. He then built several guest houses in the western coast in Buleleng. The whole area then became known as Pantai Lovina, or Lovina Beach in English. For this reason, he is accredited as "The Father of Balinese Tourism".

In 2003, the Balinese government posthumously awarded him the Karya Karana Award in recognition of his services to the development of Balinese tourism.

He died 2 June 1978 and was buried in the graveyard on the Eastside of his land near the chapel he built years before. (2)
