Script for the Balinese people is not just a symbol of sound, but is considered a symbol of the birth of knowledge which is commemorated as Saraswati day. Deeper than that, the script is a symbol of Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa and His manifestation. This study aims to reveal the theology of script in the Saiwasogata religion in Bali. The research data was collected through literature study, and analyzed by symbol theory. The result of this research is the script used to represent Saiwasogata theology in Bali. These scripts include the Pre-Nagari script and Pallawa script derivatives, namely Old Bali and New Balinese script. Currently, the New Balinese script is used more to represent Saiwasogata theology, classified into Wréastra, Swalalita, and Modré scripts. Based on the results of the analysis it can be stated that the script is used as a symbol to express the concept of divinity and the religious teachings of Shiwa and Buddha. In the Kasogatan religion in Bali, it is used to express the Tathāgata concept, using sacred scripts from éka scripts to Buddhist tenets and mantras that explain the Buddha as the true truth. The Buddha through his dharma advised that humans try to defeat māra and try to reach nirwana. In the Shiwaist religion, the script is also used as a symbol of God, including manifestations. This script is used as a medium to understand the essence of Shiwa Tattva. This concept is explained using sacred scripts from ékaksara to sodasaksara and mantras that explain Shiwa Tattva, is the philosophy of divinity and the universe. An understanding of Shiwa Tattva is needed so that Atmika Tattva tries to realize his own purity as a spark of God in order to achieve true happiness or moksha.
