Nyepi means quiet, hopely from quiet of Nyepi we can thing what we did in past year and what we are going to do in next year, it is very good tone because in another new year we are always celebrate it with party and loud but special for Hindu New Year, we are celebrate in with " Catur Brata Nyepi, catur means 4, Brata, exactly Brata has a lot of meaning but in this case the meaning is fast or no doing that, the 4 fast is no go anywhere(stay at home,) no job, no angry and dont make any activity. Yeah just quite. Quite, relax and let is your soul free, from quite of Nyepi you have time to thing your mistakes and dont make the same mistake in next year, if you celebrate with party how you have time to thing what you have already done.
