Penggambaran Etika Jawa Dalam Relief Wiracarita Ramayana di Candi Prambanan, Jawa Tengah. Jurusan Sejarah Fakultas Ilmu Sosial, Universitas Negeri Semarang. 174 halaman. 8 lampiran. Kata Kunci: Etika Jawa, Relief Wiracarita Ramayana Masyarakat Jawa selalu meletakan etika sebagai barometer untuk menyatakan seseorang disebut wis Jowo sebagai tanda kemengertian pada identitas Jawa. Unsur etika digambarkan dan diajarkan melalui peninggalan kebudayaan yang berada di tengah-tengah masyarakat Jawa, salah satunya melalui Candi Prambanan dengan relief penting Wiracarita Ramayana. Permasalahan yang akan dikaji dalam penelitian ini adalah: (1). Bagaimana bentuk etika dalam kehidupan orang Jawa?, (2). Bagaimana penggambaran relief wiracarita Ramayana di Candi Prambanan? (3). Bagaimana etika Jawa yang digambarkan pada relief Candi Prambanan?. Penelitian ini bertujuan: (1). Mengetahui bagaimana bentuk etika Jawa, (2). Mengetahui bagaimana penggambaran relief wiracarita Ramayana di Candi Prambanan (3). Mengetahui bagaimana etika Jawa yang digambarkan dalam relief wiracarita Ramayana di Candi Prambanan. Manfaat yang di peroleh dari penelitian ini antara lain: (1). Memberi sumbangan bagi pengembangan keilmuan, khususnya kajian relief , (2). Menjadi bahan pertimbangan dan motivasi bagi usaha pelestarian nilai-nilai budaya bangsa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sejarah (historical method) dengan langkah: (1). Heuristik atau pencarian jejak sejarah. Sumber yang dipakai berupa sumber benda berupa relief dan sumber tertulis, (2) Kritik sumber, baik ekstern maupun intern, (3) Interpretasi, yaitu dengan menghubung-hubungkan fakta yang saling terpisah antara tampilan relief dengan kajian litertur mengenai etika Jawa. (4) Tahap historiografi, data dirangkai dan hasilnya akan disajikan dalam bentuk naskah. Pendekatan semiotika digunakan untuk intepretai data. Semiotika adalah ilmu mengenai tanda dan segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengannya. Bidang kajian semiotik yang diterapkan adalah kajian kode budaya. Relief wiracarita Ramayana merupakan tanda yang memunculkan konotasi untuk kemudian di interpretasikan berdasarkan pengalaman empiris masyarakat Jawa. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa masyarakat Jawa memaknai etika dalam bentuk budi pekerti. Konsep dasar etika Jawa adalah kaidah hormat dan rukun. Penggambaran relief wiracarita Ramayana di Candi Prambanan, cenderung mengikuti naskah Hikayat Seri Rama dalam sastra melayu. Alur cerita menunjukan pengguanaan bentuk uttarakandha. Tampilan rukun yang banyak di gambarkan dalam relief adalah perilaku rembug, lung tinulung, guyup, gotong-royong, layat serta tepo saliro. Kaidah hormat yang paling menonjol diwujudkan dalam tata krama duduk. Kaidah ini diajarkan melalui pituduh (nasehat) dan wewaler (larangan). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, penulis mengajukan saran: pengkajian lain diharapkan dapat membantu memelihara dan melestarikan nilai-nilai budaya Jawa. Relief wiracarita Ramayana pada Candi Prambanan diharapkan dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai media budaya dan media pembelajaran.

  • Maritime Indonesia and the Archipelagic Outlook Some Reflections from a Multidisciplinary Perspective on Old Port Cities in Java
    Multamia R.M.T. WacanaLauder Vol. and 17 Allan No. 1 (2016): F. Lauder 97–120, Maritime Indonesia 97 Maritime Indonesia and the Archipelagic Outlook Some reflections from a multidisciplinary perspective on old port cities in Java Multamia R.M.T. Lauder and Allan F. Lauder Abstract The present paper reflects on Indonesia’s status as an archipelagic state and a maritime nation from a historical perspective. It explores the background of a multi-year research project into Indonesia’s maritime past currently being undertaken at the Humanities Faculty of Universitas Indonesia. The multidisciplinary research uses toponymy, epigraphy, philology, and linguistic lines of analysis in examining old inscriptions and manuscripts and also includes site visits to a number of old port cities across the archipelago. We present here some of the core concepts behind the research such as the importance of the ancient port cities in a network of maritime trade and diplomacy, and link them to some contemporary issues such as the Archipelagic Outlook. This is based on a concept of territorial integrity that reflects Indonesia’s national identity and aspirations. It is hoped that the paper can extend the discussion about efforts to make maritime affairs a strategic geopolitical goal along with restoring Indonesia’s identity as a maritime nation. Allan F. Lauder is a guest lecturer in the Post Graduate Linguistics Department program at the Humanities Faculty of the Universitas Indonesia. Allan obtained his MA in the English Language at the Department of English Language and Literature, National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore, 1988 – 1990 and his Doctorate Degree in Applied Linguistics, English Language at Atma Jaya University.

  • UNESCO World Heritage Site Yogyakarta 57454 Indonesia
    Candi Perwara, Bokoharjo, Prambanan, Kabupaten Sleman, Daerah Istimewa UNESCO World Heritage Site Yogyakarta 57454 Indonesia unesco | 1 PRAMBANAN THE LEGEND The astonishing temples of Prambanan, believed to be the proof of love from Bandung Bondowoso to Princess Loro Jonggrang, are the best remaining examples of Java’s extended period of Hindu culture. Located 17 kilometers northeast of Yogyakarta, the temples boast of a wealth of sculptural detail and are considered to be one of Indonesia’s most phenomenal examples of Hindu art. Legend says that there were once a thousand temples standing in the area, but due to a great earthquake in the 16th century, accelerated by the treasure hunters and locals searching for building material, many of the temples are gone now. Initiatives to restore the temples have been conducted to some extent, though many stand in ruin today. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Prambanan Temple Compounds. PHOTO BY MICHAEL TURTLE prambanan | 2 prambanan | 3 CONSTRUCTION The Prambanan temple is the largest Hindu temple of ancient Java, and the first building was completed in the mid-9th century. It was likely started by Rakai Pikatan as the Hindu Sanjaya Dynasty’s answer to the Buddhist Sailendra Dynasty’s Borobudur and Sewu temples nearby. Historians suggest that the construction of Prambanan probably was meant to mark the return of the Hindu Sanjaya Dynasty to power in Central Java after almost a century of Buddhist Sailendra Dynasty domination. The construction of this massive Hindu temple signifies that the Medang court had shifted its patronage from Mahayana Buddhism to Shaivite Hinduism.

Resink1 Anyone who has attempted to challenge a hypothesis which, though originally advanced with cautious reservations, has gained in authority in the course of years to assume in the end the nature of an established fact, knows about the tough tenacity of myths. They become unassailable. Our case concerns the hypothesis of Rouffaer, stated in the Notulen of the Royal Batavian Society in 1909.2 In it the author first advanced the notion that a portrait statue of King Airlangga was embodied in the splendid image of Wi§nu borne by Garu^a which originally came from the bathing-place sanctuary BSlahan, on the eastern slope of Mt. Penanggungan in the Bangil region of Surabaja, and which now graces the Museum of Modjokerto. This notion was accepted and emphatically defended by Krom,3 was subsequently used by Stutterheim as a point of departure for further assumptions, ** and has been perpetuated since as an unassailable fact, or rather myth. It probably would not have occurred to me to question the myth of Airlangga*s portrait myself were it not for the fact that new data have come to light subsequent to the publications of the above scholars. They make it possible to determine more precisely the foundation date of the Belahan complex and, as a 1. An earlier version of this story, "BSlahan - of een mythe ontluisterd," was published in Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde (CXXIII), 1967, pp. 250-266.

  • RESEARCH NOTES Javanese Names During the Height Of
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 20, No. 2, (2013), 81–89 RESEARCH NOTES Javanese Names during the Height of the Hindu-Buddhist Kingdoms in Java: An Ethnolinguistic Study SAHID TEGUH WIDODO Universitas Sebelas Maret, Indonesia. [email protected] Abstract. Javanese names have undergone numerous developments throughout the course of human civilisation. The study of names is an important means of discovering the desires, cultural tastes and lifestyles of the Javanese from one period to another. This study used a qualitative descriptive research method. The data for the research were obtained from Indonesian historical sources, the story of Babad Tanah Jawa, epigraphs and selected informants. The techniques used to collect the data were content analysis and interviews with a number of historical and language experts. The analysis resulted in a description of the development of the form and structure of Javanese names. Based on the historical context, these names were strongly influenced by the Sanskrit language of the centuries- old Hindu and Buddhist traditions in India. The influence of the ancient Javanese language on Javanese names began to appear at the beginning of the Javanese Hindu era, along with a decline in the Hindu-Buddhist influence in Java. This influence was marked by the appearance of elements in names that do not exist as syllables in Sanskrit. This phenomenon indicates an acculturation of the Javanese, Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Ancient Javanese influences are still found today in modern Javanese names, such as in the use of the names Dyah, Jaya, Dewi/Devi, Wardhana, Arya and Rangga. Keywords and phrases: name, Javanese, Hindu, Buddhist, Sanskrit Introduction The height of the Hindu and Buddhist era in Java was marked by the establishment of large kingdoms and a high level of civilisation.

Pigeaud has classified the 'well-known Sërat Dërmagandul' as belonging to the same category of literary works, since in its elaborate redactions it showed a similar tendency towards expatiation on favourite subjects of Javanese lore. Moreover, in the struggle between the inherited religious concepts and Muslim orthodoxy it sided with those who clung to the time-honoured Javanese speculations on man and his place in the universe as against the legalist view of Islam, just as the Cëntini books did. Should, however, the epithet 'well-known' have prompted an in- quisitive reader to investigate the existing literature in search of further information on the Sërat Dërmagandul, then he would not have been long in finding that, for instance, neither in the Leiden catalogues of Javanese MSS. nor in the abstracts of Javanese printed books in the library of the (former) Batavia Society at Jakarta is a work of this name mentioned, let alone described.2 Nor was a Sërat Dërmagandul recorded by Dr Poerbatjaraka in his Alphabetical List of Javanese MSS. in the library of the (former) Batavia Society.3 Even if he continued his research by Consulting what was published after 1933, he would not find a summary of the work in question until 1939.

JORDAAN The Sailendras, the Status of the Ksatriya Theory, and the Development of Hindu- Javanese Temple Architecture Introduction The reconstruction of the history of Java, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula from the eighth to the twelfth century AD1 is still greatly hampered by the unsolved problem of the origin of the Sailendra dynasty. The reference to the name Sailendra in a number of dated Central Javanese inscriptions (Kalasan 778, Kelurak 782), an undated inscription found in the Thai part of the Malay Peninsula (Ligor B, in or shortly after 775), and a few inscriptions from both North and South India (Nalanda circa 859, Charter of Leyden 1089-1090) inspired R.C. Majumdar (1933, 1934) to posit the existence of a Sailendra empire, which, at the height of its glory, in the early ninth century, suppos- edly embraced large parts of the Indo-Malay archipelago (the Malay Penin- sula, Sumatra, and parts of Java) as well as of the Southeast Asian mainland. Majumdar suggested that the Sailendras originated from Kaliriga in India and, travelling by way of Lower Burma, migrated to the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, whence they ruled over their new kingdom, which he des- ignated 'Malayasia'. In the ensuing scholarly debate, various of Majumdar's ideas were dis- puted.

    Sang Hyang Kamahāyānikan: Translation and Analytical Study Ven. Budi Utomo Ph.D. (Bhikkhu Ditthisampanno) Lecture and Principal of Smaratungga Buddhist College, Indonesia. Ph.D. Candidate in Buddhist Studies, Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University. [email protected] Abstract This dissertation has three objectives, namely: 1. to examine the origin and historical development of The Sanghyang Kamahayanikan; 2. to study the main concept of The Sanghyang Kamahayanikan; 3. to analyze and critique the versions of the Sanghyang Kamahayanikan. This Dissertation is a documentary research. The data and observations are limited to the Sanghyang Kamahayanikan text, translation, interpretation and explanation. Sanghyang Kamahayanikan is an esoteric Buddhist text. Venerable Mpu Shri Sambhara Surya Warama it about 929-947 C from East Java, the successor of Mataram Kingdom, which was shifted to there. The oldest literature was found at Lombok Island in 1900 CE. Professor Yunboll discussed it in 1908 and it was translated into the Dutch language by J. deKatt in 1910. Later, Professor Wuff inspected it. The text is restricted for the teachings in the Mahayana school, with focus on the tantric path of the Yogacara School using Mantranaya or the Mantra method. The text has been divided into two parts, each of which can be read independently. The fi rst section entitled Sang Hyang Kamahayanan Mantranaya, consists of 42 Sanskrit verses, each with a related commentary in elaborate old Javanese and regrouped under 11 subtopics and a conclusion. The second section consists of instructions in 86 verses, written mainly in old Javanese, with a few middle level Sanskrit references. Both texts belong to the same school and are connected.

Situs ini sebagaimana situs kebanyakan yang baru ditemukan dalam keadaan tertimbun tanah, maka wujud secara fisik benda atau bangunannya memang kurang menarik karena telah rusak berantakan di sana sini. Oleh karena itu, melalui buku ini diharapkan masya- rakat dan berbagai pihak terkait dapat mengapresiasi dalam bentuk informasi mengenai sejarah peradaban, fluktuasi kebudayaan, riwayat tertimbunnya situs oleh bencana alam hingga ditemukan kembali, serta mengapresiasi nilai-nilai positif yang terkandung di situs ini. Kiprah arkeologi di Situs Tondowongso tidak berhenti setelah diterbitkan buku ini, karena dari sisi akademik berdasar- kan temuan-temuan di situs ini sangat menarik dan sangat perlu untuk diungkap hingga tuntas.
