AJARAN SYEH SITI JENAR dan KEJAWEN

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">Dalam Memandang Ketuhanan, Dosa/Neraka, Pahala/Surga)</span></i></h3><div class="post-body entry-content"><div align="justify">PERBANDINGAN ANTARA AJARAN SYEH SITI JENAR Dan PANDANGAN KEJAWEN<br /><br />
Mengenai Ketuhanan, Alam, dan Manusia<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<b>Syeh Siti Jenar (Lemah Abang) dalam Mengenal Tuhan</b><br /><br />
<br /><br />
     Ajaran Siti Jenar memahami Tuhan sebagai ruh yang tertinggi, ruh  <br />
maulana yang utama, yang mulia yang sakti, yang suci tanpa kekurangan.  <br />
Itulah Hyang Widhi, ruh maulana yang tinggi dan suci menjelma menjadi  <br />
diri manusia.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Hyang Widhi itu di mana-mana, tidak di langit,  tidak di bumi, tidak<br />
 di utara atau selatan. Manusia tidak akan  menemukan biarpun keliling <br />
dunia. Ruh maulana ada dalam diri manusia  karena ruh manusia sebagai <br />
penjelmaan ruh maulana, sebagaimana dirinya  yang sama-sama menggunakan <br />
hidup ini dengan indera, jasad yang akan  kembali pada asalnya, busuk, <br />
kotor, hancur, tanah. Jika manusia itu mati  ruhnya kembali bersatu ke <br />
asalnya, yaitu ruh maulana yang bebas dari  segala penderitaan. Lebih <br />
lanjut Siti Jenar mengungkapkan sifat-sifat  hakikat ruh manusia adalah <br />
ruh diri manusia yang tidak berubah, tidak  berawal, tidak berakhir, <br />
tidak bermula, ruh tidak lupa dan tidak tidur,  yang tidak terikat <br />
dengan rangsangan indera yang meliputi jasad  manusia.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Syeh Siti Jenar mengaku bahwa, “aku adalah Allah,  Allah adalah <br />
aku”. Lihatlah, Allah ada dalam diriku, aku ada dalam diri  Allah.  <br />
Pengakuan Siti Jenar bukan bermaksud mengaku-aku dirinya sebagai  Tuhan <br />
Allah Sang Pencipta ajali abadi, melainkan kesadarannya tetap  teguh <br />
sebagai makhluk yang diciptakan Tuhan. Siti Jenar merasa bahwa  dirinya <br />
bersatu dengan “ruh” Tuhan. Memang ada persamaan antara ruh  manusia <br />
dengan “ruh” Tuhan atau Zat. Keduanya bersatu di dalam diri  manusia. <br />
Persatuan antara ruh Tuhan dengan ruh manusia terbatas pada  persatuan <br />
manusia denganNya. Persatuannya merupakan persatuan Zat sifat,  ruh <br />
bersatu dengan Zat sifat Tuhan dalam gelombang energi dan frekuensi  <br />
yang sama. Inilah prinsip kemanunggalan dalam ajaran tentang  <br />
manunggaling kawula Gusti atau jumbuhing kawula Gusti. Bersatunya dua  <br />
menjadi satu, atau dwi tunggal. Diumpamakan wiji wonten salebeting wit.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<b>Pandangan Syeh Lemah Abang Tentang Manusia</b><br /><br />
<br /><br />
     Dalam memandang hakikat manusia Siti Jenar membedakan antara jiwa <br />
dan  akal. Jiwa merupakan suara hati nurani manusia yang merupakan <br />
ungkapan  dari zat Tuhan, maka hati nurani harus ditaati dan dituruti <br />
perintahnya.  Jiwa merupakan kehendak Tuhan, juga merupakan penjelmaan <br />
dari Hyang  Widdhi (Tuhan) di dalam jiwa, sehingga raga dianggap sebagai<br />
 wajah Hyang  Widdhi. Jiwa yang berasal dari Tuhan itu mempunyai sifat <br />
zat Tuhan  yakni kekal, sesudah manusia raganya mati maka lepaslah jiwa <br />
dari  belenggu raganya. Demikian pula akal merupakan kehendak, tetapi  <br />
angan-angan dan ingatan yang kebenarannya tidak sepenuhnya dapat  <br />
dipercaya, karena selalu berubah-ubah.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Menurut sabdalangit,  perbedaan karakter jiwa dan akal yang bertolak<br />
 belakang dalam pandangan  Siti Jenar, disebabkan oleh adanya garis <br />
demarkasi yang menjadi pemisah  antara sifat hakikat jiwa dan akal-budi.<br />
 Jiwa terletak di luar nafsu,  sementara akal-budi letaknya berada di <br />
dalam nafsu. Mengenai perbedaan  jiwa dan akal, dalam wirayat Saloka <br />
Jati diungkapkan bahwa akal-budi  umpama kodhok kinemulan ing leng atau <br />
wit jroning wiji (pohon ada di  dalam biji). Sedangkan jiwa umpama <br />
kodhok angemuli ing leng atau wiji  jroning wit (biji ada di dalam <br />
pohon).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Bagi Syeh Siti Jenar,  proses timbulnya pengetahuan datang secara <br />
bersamaan dengan munculnya  kesadaran subyek terhadap obyek. Maka <br />
pengetahuan mengenai kebenaran  Tuhan akan diperoleh seseorang bersama <br />
dengan penyadaran diri orang itu.  Jika ingin mengetahui Tuhanmu, <br />
ketahuilah (terlebih dahulu) dirimu  sendiri. Syeh Lemah bang percaya <br />
bahwa kebenaran yang diperoleh dari  hal-hal di atas ilmu pengetahuan, <br />
mengenai wahyu dan Tuhan bersifat  intuitif. Kemampuan intuitif ini ada <br />
bersamaan dengan munculnya  kesadaran dalam diri seseorang. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
<b>Pandangan Syeh Lemah Bang Tentang Kehidupan Dunia</b><br /><br />
<br /><br />
     Pandangan Syeh Jenar tentang dunia adalah bahwa hidup di dunia ini <br />
 sesungguhnya adalah mati. Dikatakan demikian karena hidup di dunia ini <br />
 ada surga dan neraka yang tidak bisa ditolak oleh manusia. Manusia yang<br />
  mendapatkan surga mereka akan mendapatkan kebahagiaan, ketenangan,  <br />
kesenangan. Sebaliknya rasa bingung, kalut, muak, risih, menderita itu  <br />
termasuk neraka.  Jika manusia hidup mulia, sehat, cukup pangan,  <br />
sandang, papan maka ia dalam surga. Tetapi kesenangan atau surga di  <br />
dunia ini bersifat sementara atau sekejap saja, karena betapapun juga  <br />
manusia dan sarana kehidupannya pasti akan menemui kehancuran.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
     Syeh Jenar mengumpamakan bahwa manusia hidup ini sesungguhnya mayat<br />
  yang gentayangan untuk mencari pangan pakaian dan papan serta mengejar<br />
  kekayaan yang dapat menyenangkan jasmani. Manusia bergembira atas apa <br />
 yang ia raih, yang memuaskan dan menyenangkan jiwanya, padahal ia tidak<br />
  sadar bahwa semua kesenangan itu akan binasa. Namun begitu manusia <br />
suka  sombong dan bangga atas kepemilikan kekayaan, tetapi tidak <br />
menyadari  bahwa dirinya adalah bangkai. Manusia justru merasa dirinya <br />
mulia dan  bahagia, karena manusia tidak menyadari bahwa harta bendanya <br />
merupakan  penggoda manusia yang menyebabkan keterikatannya pada dunia.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
     Jika manusia tidak menyadari itu semua, hidup ini sesungguhnya <br />
derita.  Pandangan seperti itu menjadikan  sikap dan pandangan Siti <br />
Jenar menjadi  ekstrim dalam memandang kehidupan dunia. Hidup di dunia <br />
ini adalah  mati, tempat baik dan buruk, sakit dan sehat, mujur dan <br />
celaka, bahagia  dan sempurna, surga dan neraka, semua bercampur aduk <br />
menjadi satu.  Dengan adanya peraturan maka manusia menjadi terbebani <br />
sejak lahir  hingga mati. Maka Syeh Siti Jenar sangat menekankan pada <br />
upaya manusia  untuk hidup yang abadi agar tahan mengalami hidup di <br />
dunia ini. Siti  Jenar kemudian mengajarkan bagaimana mencari kamoksan <br />
(mukswa/mosca)  yakni mati sempurna beserta raganya lenyap masuk ke <br />
dalam ruh (warongko  manjing curigo). Hidup ini mati, karena mati itu <br />
hidup yang sesungguhnya  karena manusia bebas dari segala beban dan <br />
derita. Karena hidup sesudah  kematian adalah hidup yang sejati, dan <br />
abadi.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<b>Syeh Siti Jenar Mengkritik Ulama dan Para Santrinya</b><br /><br />
<br /><br />
     Alasan yang mendasari mengapa Syeh Siti Jenar mengkritik  <br />
habis-habisan para ulama dan santrinya karena dalam kacamata Syeh Siti, <br />
 mereka hanya berkutat pada amalan syariat (sembah raga). Padahal masih <br />
 banyak tugas manusia yang lebih utama harus dilakukan untuk mencapai  <br />
tataran kemuliaan yang sejati. Dogma-dogma, dan ketakutan neraka serta  <br />
bujuk rayu surga justru membelenggu raga, akal budi, dan jiwa manusia.  <br />
Maka manusia menjadi terkungkung rutinitas lalu lupa akan tugas-tugas  <br />
beratnya. Manusia demikian menjadi gagal dalam upaya menemukan Tuhannya.<br />
  <br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<b>Kritik Syeh Lemah Bang Atas Konsep Surga-Neraka</b><br /><br />
<br /><br />
     Konsep surga-neraka dalam ajaran Siti Jenar berbeda sekali dengan <br />
apa  yang diajarkan oleh para ulama. Menurut Syeh Siti Jenar, surga dan <br />
 neraka adalah dalam hidup ini. Sementara para ulama mengajarkan surga  <br />
dan neraka merupakan balasan yang diberikan kepada manusia atas amalnya <br />
 yang bakal diterima kelak sesudah kematian (akherat).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Menurut  Syeh Siti, orang mukmin telah keliru karena mengerjakan <br />
shalat jungkir  balik, mengharap-harap surga, sedang surga sesudah <br />
kematian itu tidak  ada, shalat itu tidak perlu dan orang tidak perlu <br />
mengajak orang lain  untuk shalat. Shalat minta apa, minta rizki ? Tuhan<br />
 toh tidak memberi  lantaran shalat.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Santri yang menjual ilmu dengan siapa pun  mau menyembah Tuhan di <br />
masjid, di dalamnya terdapat Tuhan yang bohong.  Para ulama telah <br />
menyesatkan manusia dengan menipu mereka jungkir balik  lima kali, pagi,<br />
 siang, sore, malam hanya untuk memohon-mohon imbalan  surga kelak. <br />
Sehingga orang banyak tergiur oleh omongan palsunya, dan  orang menjadi <br />
gelisah tak enak ketika terlambat mengerjakan shalat.  Orang seperti itu<br />
 sungguh bodoh dan tak tau diri, jikalau pun seseorang  menyadari bahwa <br />
shalat itu dilakukan karena merupakan kebutuhan diri  manusia sendiri <br />
untuk menyembah Tuhannya, manusia ternyata tidak  menyadari <br />
keserakahannya; dengan minta-minta imbalan/hadiah surga.  Orang-orang <br />
telah terbius oleh para ulama, sehingga mereka suka  berzikir, dan <br />
disibukkan oleh kegiatan menghitung-hitung pahalanya tiap  hari. <br />
Sebaliknya, lupa bahwa sejatinya kebaikan itu harus  diimplementasikan <br />
kepada sesama (habluminannas).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Lebih  lanjut Syekh Siti Jenar menuduh para ulama dan murid mereka <br />
sebagai  orang dungu dan dangkal ilmu, karena menafsirkan surga sebagai <br />
balasan  yang nanti diterima di akhirat. Penafsiran demikian adalah <br />
penafsiran  yang sangat sempit. Hidup para ulama adalah hidup asal <br />
hidup, tidak  mengerti hakekat, tetapi jika disuruh mati mereka menolak <br />
mentah-mentah.  Surga dan neraka letaknya pada manusia masing-masing. <br />
Orang bergelimang  harta, hidupnya merasa selalu terancam oleh para <br />
pesaing bisnisnya,  tidur tak nyeyak, makan tak enak, jalan pun gelisah,<br />
 itulah neraka.  Sebaliknya, seorang petani di lereng gunung terpencil, <br />
hasil bercocok  tanam cukup untuk makan sekeluarga, menempati rumah <br />
kecil yang tenang,  tiap sore dapat duduk bersantai di halaman rumah <br />
sambil memandang  hamparan sawah hijau menghampar, hatinya sesejuk <br />
udaranya, tenang  jiwanya, itulah surga. Kehidupan ini telah memberi <br />
manusia mana surga  mana neraka.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Syeh Siti Jenar memandang alam semesta sebagai  makrokosmos dan <br />
mikrokosmos (manusia) sekurangnya kedua hal ini  merupakan barang baru <br />
ciptaan Tuhan yang sama-sama akan mengalami  kerusakan, tidak kekal dan <br />
tidak abadi. Manusia terdiri  atas jiwa dan  raga yang intinya ialah <br />
jiwa sebagai penjelmaan zat Tuhan.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
     Sedangkan raga adalah bentuk luar dari jiwa yang dilengkapi <br />
pancaindera,  sebagai organ tubuh seperti daging, otot, darah, dan <br />
tulang. Semua  aspek keragaan atau ketubuhan adalah barang pinjaman yang<br />
 suatu saat,  setelah manusia terlepas dari kematian di dunia ini, akan <br />
kembali  berubah asalnya yaitu unsur bumi (tanah).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Syeh Lemah Bang, mengatakan bahwa;<br /><br />
     “Bukan kehendak angan-angan, bukan ingatan, pikiran atau niat, hawa<br />
  nafsu pun bukan, bukan pula kekosongan atau kehampaan. Penampilanku  <br />
sebagai mayat baru, andai menjadi gusti jasadku dapat busuk bercampur  <br />
debu, nafasku terhembus di segala penjuru dunia, tanah, api, air,  <br />
kembali sebagai asalnya, yaitu kembali menjadi baru. Bumi langit dan  <br />
sebagainya adalah kepunyaan seluruh manusia, manusialah yang memberi  <br />
nama”.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
 <b>Kesimpulan</b><br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Pandangan Syeh Lemah Bang;  tentang terlepasnya manusia dari <br />
belenggu alam kematian yakni hidup di  alam dunia ini, berawal dari <br />
konsepnya tentang  ketuhanan, manusia dan  alam. Manusia adalah jelmaan <br />
zat Tuhan. Hubungan jiwa dari Tuhan dan  raga, berakhir sesudah  manusia<br />
 menemui ajal atau kematian duniawi.  Sesudah itu manusia bisa manunggal<br />
 dengan Tuhan dalam keabadian. Pada  saat itu semua bentuk badan wadag <br />
(jasad) atau kebutuhan jasmanisah  ditinggal karena jasad merupakan <br />
barang baru (hawadist) yang dikenai  kerusakan dan semacam barang <br />
pinjaman yang harus dikembalikan kepada  yang punya yaitu Tuhan sendiri.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
    Terlepas dari ajaran Siti  Jenar yang sangat ekstrim memandang dunia<br />
 sebagai bentuk penderitaan  total yang harus segera ditinggalkan <br />
rupanya terinspirasi oleh ajaran  seorang sufi dari Bagdad, Hussein Ibnu<br />
 Al Hallaj, yang menolak segala  kehidupan dunia. Hal ini berbeda dengan<br />
 konsep Islam secara umum yang  memadang hidup di dunia sebagai khalifah<br />
 Tuhan.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<b>Pandangan Kejawen Tentang Kehidupan di Dunia</b><br /><br />
<br /><br />
Pandangan  Kejawen tentang makna hidup manusia  dunia ditampilkan secara<br />
 rinci,  realistis, logis dan mengena di dalam hati nurani; bahwa hidup <br />
ini  diumpamakan hanya sekedar mampir ngombe, mampir minum, hidup dalam <br />
waktu  sekejab, dibanding kelak hidup di alam keabadian setelah raga ini<br />
 mati.  Tetapi tugas manusia sungguh berat, karena jasad adalah pinjaman<br />
 Tuhan.  Tuhan meminjamkan raga kepada ruh, tetapi ruh harus  <br />
mempertanggungjawabkan “barang” pinjamannya itu. Pada awalnya Tuhan Yang<br />
  Mahasuci meminjamkan jasad kepada ruh dalam keadaan suci, apabila <br />
waktu  “kontrak” peminjaman sudah habis, maka ruh diminta <br />
tanggungjawabnya,  ruh harus mengembalikan jasad pinjamannya dalam <br />
keadaan yang suci  seperti semula. Ruh dengan jasadnya diijinkan Tuhan <br />
“turun” ke bumi,  tetapi dibebani tugas yakni menjaga barang pinjaman <br />
tersebut agar dalam  kondisi baik dan suci setelah kembali kepada <br />
pemiliknya, yakni Gusti  Ingkang Akaryo Jagad. Ruh dan jasad menyatu <br />
dalam wujud yang dinamakan  manusia. Tempat untuk mengekspresikan dan <br />
mengartikulasikan diri manusia  adalah tempat pinjaman Tuhan juga yang <br />
dinamakan bumi berikut segala  macam isinya; atau mercapada. Karena bumi<br />
 bersifat “pinjaman” Tuhan,  maka bumi juga bersifat tidak kekal.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Betapa Maha Pemurahnya  Tuhan itu, bersedia meminjamkan jasad, berikut <br />
tempat tinggal dan segala  isinya menjadi fasilitas manusia boleh <br />
digunakan secara gratis. Tuhan  hanya menuntut tanggungjawab manusia <br />
saja, agar supaya menjaga semua  barang pinjaman Tuhan tersebut, serta <br />
manusia diperbolehkan memanfaatkan  semua fasilitas yang Tuhan sediakan <br />
dengan cara tidak merusak barang  pinjaman dan semua fasilitasnya.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Itulah tanggungjawab manusia  yang sesungguhnya hidup di dunia ini; <br />
yakni menjaga barang “titipan”  atau “pinjaman”, serta boleh <br />
memanfaatkan semua fasilitas yang  disediakan Tuhan untuk manusia dengan<br />
 tanpa merusak, dan tentu saja  menjaganya agar tetap utuh, tidak rusak,<br />
 dan kembali seperti semula  dalam keadaan suci. Itulah “perjanjian” <br />
gaib antara Tuhan dengan manusia  makhlukNya. Untuk menjaga klausul <br />
perjanjian tetap dapat terlaksana,  maka Tuhan membuat rumus atau <br />
“aturan-main“ yang harus dilaksanakan oleh  pihak peminjam yakni <br />
manusia. Rumus Tuhan ini yang disebut pula sebagai  kodrat Tuhan; <br />
berbentuk hukum sebab-akibat. Pengingkaran atas isi atau  “klausul <br />
kontrak” tersebut berupa akibat sebagai konsekuensi logisnya.  Misalnya;<br />
 keburukan akan berbuah keburukan, kebaikan akan berbuah  kebaikan pula.<br />
 Barang siapa menanam, maka mengetam. Perbuatan suka  memudahkan akan <br />
berbuah sering dimudahkan. Suka mempersulit akan berbuah  sering <br />
dipersulit. </div></div></div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Balungan"></a><br />  BALUNGAN <div>
Definition:   lit., 'skeleton,' 'frame.' The basic or  skeletal melody in gamelan music. This basic melody is an abstraction  of the melody played by the elaborating instruments.   The balungan is  played by the slenthem, demung, and saron barung.</div>
<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
 <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Bedhug"></a><br />BEDHUG<div>
Function:  In gamelan Sekaten, the bedhug gives the  cues for tempo changes, acts as a phrase divider and emphasizes the  strong seleh (resolution notes) during the racikan (long introduction),  and performs a colotomic function similar to the kempul once the  introduction is over and the actual piece of music has started.  In  other kinds of music, the bedhug can be used to emphasize the strong  tones of the kendhang ageng.</div>
Link to <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanChecklist.html#Bedhug">description</a> of bedhug in the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan.  <div>
Playing technique:   the bedhug is played using a soft-tipped mallet hit at the center of the drumhead.</div>
<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Bonang Barung"></a> <br />BONANG BARUNG<div>
Function:  The bonang barung is both an elaborating,  as well as a leading instruments.  Similar to the rebab and gender  barung, the bonang barung can play the buka or introduction to a piece  of music.  As in the case of the buka rebab and gender, players are  expected to know the introduction and be able to follow without being  told in advance what piece will be played.  In a special kind of music  known as gendhing bonang, the bonang barung plays a prominent role in  leading the melody.  In this type of music the rebab and gender are not  played.  The patterns that are played by the bonang barung depend on the  irama or tempo structure.  The patterns can be derived from the  balungan or basic melody of the saron; however. it is more appropriate  to say that the balungan is derived from the bonang patterns (and also  the melody of the rebab and gender barung) and not the other way around.   Similar to the gander barung, there is a changing of the number of  beats played by the bonang in relation to the balungan (basic melody)  played by the saron and slenthem when the irama (tempo structure)  changes.  For example, in irama tanggung there are eight bonang beats  for every four of the saron, whereas, in irama dados, there are sixteen  bonang beats for every four of the basic melody.  It is the basic melody  tempo that slows down to accommodate these further elaborations of the  melody by the bonang barung.  The upper row of pots is considered to be  female, while the lower octave is male.</div>

Playing technique:   the bonang barung is played with  the soft end of two mallets.  The player sits on the side with the  lowest octave pots.  The previous note will be dampened as the next is  played using the mallet’s soft end unless the instrument is mature  enough that the pots only ring briefly, or unless the music is too  complex for all the notes to be dampened effectively.</div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Bonang Panembung"></a> <br />BONANG PANEMBUNG<div>
Function:   The bonang panembung is traditionally  played almost exclusively in ceremonial music.  This includes weddings  and ceremonial court music.  Its role is to reinforce the basic melody  or balungan played by the saron and to signal the gong.  The upper row  of pots is considered to be the female, while the lower octave is the  male.</div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Bonang Panerus"></a> <br />BONANG PANERUS<div>
Function:   The bonang panerus plays patterns  that are derivative of the bonang barung patterns, usually twice as fast  and occurring on what in Western musical terms might be considered the  off beat.  The bonang panerus player must follow the lead of the bonang  barung player even though it often begins its patterns slightly before  the bonang barung player.  The patterns that are played by the bonang  panerus depend on the irama or tempo structure, similar to the bonang  barung. The upper row of pots is considered to be the female, while the  lower octave is male.</div>

Gongs are played to mark the major sections of a gamelan  composition, such as at the beginning and the end, as well as at various  subsections and phrases.  According to "Colotomic structure  [colotomy]," <a href="http://www.grovemusic.com/"><i>Grove Music Online</i></a>  ed. L. Macy (Accessed 05 May 2006), "Over a dozen different colotomic  structures are in regular use, each with its own name such as <i>ladrang</i> and <i>ketawang</i>.  A specific drum part is associated with each colotomic structure."</div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Gender Barung"></a> <br />GENDER BARUNG<div>
Function:  The gender barung is one of the most  important  and, at the same time, one of the most difficult instruments  to play in the Javanese gamelan.  Its role is to fill in the basic  melody with more elaborate and ornamental parts, but, it may also serve  as a leader in playing the buka (introductory phrase) to a piece of  music and signaling transitions to different melodic sections in a  composition.  The gender barung player must pay close attention to the  rebab.  The relationship between the rebab and the gender barung is  complex: it both follows and leads the rebab in articulating the  movement of the melody.  There are many styles of playing the gender  barung depending upon the region and the individual player.  The  rhythmic relationship of the gender barung to the basic melody  (balungan), played by the saron barung, saron demung, and slenthem,  varies from 8 beats per 4-beat measure (gatra) of the basic melody, to  16, to 32, to 64, and so on.  These different rhythmic relationships  (irama) are accompanied by a slowing of the tempo of the basic melody.   For example, when the gender barung plays 16 beats for every four beats  of the basic melody, the tempo of the basic melody is twice as slow as  when the gender plays 8 beats for every four of the basic melody.</div>
Link to <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanChecklist.html#Gender%20Barung">description</a> of gender barung in the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan.  <div>
Playing technique:  The gender barung is played with  both hands, holding the thin end of the mallet and striking the keys  with the padded end.  The right and left hands play different notes and  rhythms.  The previous note is dampened after the next note is played.   The left hand dampens the note by using the padding of the hand below  the small finger, while the right hand dampens using the thumb and small  finger.</div>
<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Gender Panerus"></a> <br />GENDER PANERUS<div>
Function:  The gender panerus is one of the  gamelan’s elaborating instruments.  It is similar in its appearance to  the gender barung but its range extends one octave higher.  Unlike the  gender barung, the gender panerus does not serve as a melody leader but  simply as ornamentation.  Its rhythm is usually even and without  syncopation and it fills the spaces between the basic melody notes of  the balungan played by the saron barung, demung, and slenthem.</div>

Many of the frames for the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i>  gamelan are carved with nagas, their crowned heads facing outward and  their tails coiled together at the center.  The nagas’ mouths are  typically open and  individual teeth are carved, along with a forked  tongue.  Each naga has what appears to be a collar or stylized hair and  beard curling out from under the head.  The body arches into an arc  twice before the tails coil and meet.   </div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Pelog"></a> <br />PELOG<div>
Definition:   the Javanese tuning system in which the  octave is divided into seven intervals.  A full gamelan set employs  both tuning systems—slendro and pelog—although the two sets are never  played simultaneously.  The <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan is such a full gamelan set.  Listen to a  musical excerpt played in the pelog tuning system: <i><a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/GiftShop/CDClips/Gamelan/Gamelan%20Sayuk%20Sampak.mp3">Sayuk-Sampak</a></i>, Laras Pelog Pathet Barang by Marto Pengrawit (1950), arr. by Joko Sutrisno, recorded on the NMM gamelan in 2007 by <a href="http://www.ipaam.org/ensembles.html">The Sumunar Gamelan Ensemble</a> of the Indonesian Performing Arts Association of Minnesota.</div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Racikan"></a> <br />RACIKAN<div>
Definition:  a long introduction.  In gamelan  Sekaten, the bedhug gives the cues for tempo changes, acts as a phrase  divider and emphasizes the strong seleh (resolution notes) during the  racikan (long introduction).</div>
<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
         <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Rebab"></a><br />
<br />REBAB<div>
Function:  The rebab is, in many ways, the melody  leader.  It plays a more lyrical melody than that of the basic or  skeletal melody instruments like the slenthem and it articulates the  high and low tones that the slenthem and saron are not able to play  because of their limited range.  The rebab is often responsible for  playing the introduction to a piece of music (buka), signaling the other  players to move to different sections of melody within a piece, and in  many instances, deciding which pieces to play.  This is often done by  simply playing the introduction, and the other musicians are expected to  recognize the piece and follow along.  The rebab and gender barung are  closely related, often listening to each other for melodic variations  and ornamentation.  The rebab and gerong (vocal part similar to a choir)  are also interdependent in establishing the lyrical melody of a piece.</div>
Link to <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanChecklist.html#Rebab">description</a> of rebab in the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan.       <div>
Playing technique:    The rebab player sits  cross-legged on the floor with the instrument held vertically--its spike  resting on the floor in front of the player.  The instrument is bowed  at the point where the neck joins the body.  The player’s left hand  articulates the notes by pressing gently on the fretless wire, with the  thumb remaining behind the neck.</div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Saron Panerus"></a>SARON PANERUS (PEKING)<div>
Function:  The saron instruments play the basic  or skeletal melody of the music—the balungan.  This basic melody is an  abstraction of the melody played by the elaborating instruments.   Usually the notation for any piece of music will be limited to the part  played by the saron instruments.</div>

<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Selamatan"></a> <br />SELAMATAN<div>
Definition:   A Javanaese ritual meal.  According to  Javanese custom, the selamatan (or slametan) may be performed in order  to mark many special occasions, including rites of passage such as  birth, marriage, and death, as well as other transitions, such as  harvest, recovery from illness, name-changing, or embarking on a  journey.  Whatever the occasion, it is meant to produce a propitious  sense of well-being and security.  The ceremony is believed to ensure  that all possible auspicious influences are brought to bear on any  future undertakings.  This process of perfecting intent and potential is  known in the Javanese language as slamet or sometimes salamet.  At a  slametan, food that differs from everyday fare is offered.  These  special foods have symbolic meanings.  The yellow rice mountain, for  instance, symbolizes success, high aspirations or hope.  On its peak are  garlic, red onion, and hot chili, all of which are meant to ward off  evil.  The yellow rice stands for love, and the white, purity.  At the  base, the whole chicken represents unity, while the whole egg means new  life.  The long green beans signify long life, and the mixed vegetables,  diversity.  These foods all rest on a platter of folded banana leaves,  representing strength.</div>
<div>
Three selamatans (slametans) were celebrated for the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan:  1) <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanManufacture.html#Surakarta">before it left Java</a>; 2)  <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanArrival.html#slametan">after its arrival in Vermillion</a>; and 3)  <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanNaming.html">at its naming ceremony</a>.</div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Seleh"></a> <br />SELEH <div>
Definition:  resolution notes or phrases.  The suling  plays a role similar to the pesinden (female solo vocalist) by  emphasizing strong seleh or resolution phrases.</div>
<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
         <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Siter"></a><br />
<br />SITER<div>
Function:  The siter is an elaborating instrument.   Its role is similar to that of the celempung—filling in with ornate  patterns based on the balungan or basic melody and the irama; however,  the octave range of the siter is higher than that of the celempung.  The  siter, celempung, and gambang all play the same number of beats in  relation to each measure of the balungan melody.</div>
Link to <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanChecklist.html#Siter">description</a> of siter in the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan.       <div>
Playing technique:    The siter is played like the  celempung—the player sits on the floor facing the smaller end of the  instrument and plucks the strings with the nails of both thumbs.  Long  thumbnails are essential.</div>
<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Slendro"></a> <br />SLENDRO<div>
Definition:   the Javanese tuning system in which the  octave is divided into five intervals.  A full gamelan set employs both  tuning systems—slendro and pelog—although the two sets are never played  simultaneously.  The <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan is such a full gamelan set.  Listen to a  musical excerpt from the ladrang, <i><a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/GiftShop/CDClips/Gamelan/Gamelan%20Sri%20Wibowo.mp3">Sri Wibowo-Srepeg</a></i>, Laras Slendro Pathet Songo (1904), recorded on the NMM gamelan in 2007 by <a href="http://www.ipaam.org/ensembles.html">The Sumunar Gamelan Ensemble</a> of the Indonesian Performing Arts Association of Minnesota.  </div>
<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
         <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Slenthem"></a><br />
<br />SLENTHEM<div>
Function:  The slenthem usually plays the basic  or skeletal melody in Central Javanese traditional music, referred to in  Javanese as the balungan.  Its scale, an octave below the demung, is  the lowest of the basic melody instruments.  Because its large bars are  played with a soft mallet and resonate over hollow tubes, the tone of  the slenthem is smooth and mellow.  Although its sound is less piercing  than that of the other basic melody instruments such as the saron barung  and demung, the slenthem has a central role in supporting the melody.</div>
Link to <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanChecklist.html#Slenthem">description</a> of slenthem in the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan.       <div>
Playing technique:    The player sits on the side  with the bars ascending in pitch from left to right.  The bars are  struck with the padded end of the mallet. The free hand dampens the  previous note at the same time that the next note is struck with the  mallet.</div>
<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
           <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Slentho"></a><br />
<br />SLENTHO<div>
Function:  The slentho plays the basic or  skeletal melody of the music.  In cases where the slenthem deviates from  the basic melody, the slentho follows the slenthem.</div>
Link to <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanChecklist.html#Slentho">description</a> of slentho in the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan.       <div>
Playing technique:    The slentho is played by  striking the bar in its center with the oval end of the mallet and  dampening the previous bar when the next is played.  The player sits on  the side with the pitches ascending from left to right.</div>

<hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
         <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Suling"></a><br />
<br />SULING<div>
Function:  The suling is an elaborating  instrument.  Its role is similar to the pesinden (female solo vocalist)  in emphasizing strong seleh or resolution phrases.  It also has  considerable freedom, as does the female vocalist, in its interpretation  of these melodic phrases in terms of when it begins to play, what  patterns it plays, its rhythm and ornamentation, and when it chooses to  end its phrase.</div>
Link to <a href="http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Gamelan/GamelanChecklist.html#Suling">description</a> of suling in the <i>Kyai Rengga Manis Everist</i> gamelan.       <div>

Hal ini memberikan  Neverquest kendali atas koneksi browser menggunakan command server  pelaku ketika malware membuka situs-situs dari 28 situs yang ada di  dalam daftar, termasuk situs bank-bank besar dunia, seperti situs  bank-bank di Jerman, Italia, Turki, dan India serta sistem pembayaran  online ternama.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fungsi lain yang dimiliki malware ini membantu  pelaku mengganti daftar target bank mereka dan mengembangkan kode yang  akan dimasukkan ke situs baru yang sebelumnya tidak masuk dalam daftar  target mereka. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dari seluruh situs yang menjadi sasaran <a href="http://www.tribunnews.com/tag/trojan/">Trojan</a>  ini, situs dana investasi atau pengelola keuangan (investment fund)  sepertinya menjadi target utama. Situs seperti ini menawarkan klien  mereka daftar panjang cara untuk mengelola keuangan secara online.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hal  ini memberi peluang bagi pelaku untuk mentransfer dana tunai ke  rekening mereka sendiri serta untuk bermain saham, menggunakan rekening  dan uang korban Neverquest. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Setelah mendapat akses ke rekening  pengguna dengan sistem online banking, para pelaku melakukan transaksi  dan mengirim uang dari rekening pengguna ke rekening pelaku atau ke  rekening korban lain, untuk mengecoh agar jejaknya tidak mengarah  langsung ke pelaku.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Untuk menghadapi ancaman seperti Neverquest  dibutuhkan perlindungan yang lebih dari sekadar antivirus standar;  pengguna membutuhkan solusi khusus yang  mengamankan transaksi mereka.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Secara  khusus, solusi tersebut harus mampu mengontrol proses browser yang  sedang berjalan dan mencegah manipulasi apa pun yang dilakukan aplikasi  lain," katanya.</div><div id="related" style="text-align: justify;"> <div class="fbo2 mb10 f13">Terkait<span class="f14">   <a class="fbo" href="http://www.tribunnews.com/tag/trojan/">#Trojan</a></span></div></div><div class="f11 grey pb10" style="text-align: justify;">   <div>Penulis: Eko Sutriyanto  </div><div>  Editor: fajar anjungroso</div><div><strong>TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTA</strong> </div></div>
