Salam Mulya! (Greetings Noble)
History is a time that has happened in the past. Sometimes a
matter of a different time and may cause confusion in humans.
As is the case in our country, Indonesia, is a country that
has the world famous ethnic Javanese. If the Mayans have their own calendar
count, we Javanese also have native calendar of Java. The Javanese calendar
known as the Saka calendar year. Saka year is the term for the Java community
calendar, the calculation method based on the velocity of the month. Javas Calendar
since from Aji Saka began life in Java. Aji Saka was a man who was also called
by the name of Jake Sengkala, which is the crown of King Nrajan. While still
young, Aji Saka named Jaka Sengkala.
The story begins in ancient times when Nusantara (Indonesia)
still has the longest island in the world, which is an island called Pulau Dawa (in the Java language, dawa:
length). Dawa Island now been split into several parts due to the impact of
major disasters ever to hit the world. The major disasters meluluh lantahkan
all mainland regions Dawa, and destroy all humans who have lived on the island
before.
The islands including Dawa Island is the island of Sumatra,
Riau Islands, Thousand Islands, Java, Nusa Tenggara and Islands. These islands
were once not break like now. The fact that still exist in history is the
eruption of Mount Krakatau which occurred a few centuries ago, which has
separated Sumatra and Java.
Furthermore, before Aji Saka (Jaka Sengkala) entering the
island of Java, the island Dawa into place and inhabited by the gods who were
expelled from Himalayan peaks, more or less since the days of Moses.
Furthermore Dawa island is also called Island of Gods (Pulau Dewa), for being the place where the Gods. (Dewa is a
Javanese term meaning: god, not God). This is reinforced by the many ruins of
the Gods on the island of Java, which was located at the peak Sangalikur, Kudus,
Central Java.
Return of the Gods to the Himalayan peaks, the island god
only inhabited by two Gods, Sang Hyang
Ismaya and Sang Hyang Vishnu, and was followed by one of his bodyguards (senopati)
ie Begawan Mayangkara. Both
Immortals and one senopati is often referred to as Tri Jaya Murti. Meaning: the
three always put probity.
Long story short, all three agreed that the future when
times have found the person who really has been outlined (predetermined) by the
Lord, the three vowed to earnestly serve. They each will be consistent in its
position. Sang Hyang Ismaya charge of assisting
the Knights, Sang Hyang Vishnu: protecting
the leader, and Begawan Mayangkara (Hanuman) in charge of blocking the arrival of anger.
At the time there were only three Gods Island occupant (2
Gods & 1 Begawan), the island is very
sacred, and even known to the various parts that anyone coming to the
island of the gods, eat would disappear or even die. Because, on this island is
being used by two Gods and 1 Begawan is to wait for the arrival of humans who
actually laid down by God, as a court of the god of the backrest. So, if it is
not a human being predetermined, it will not be strong into the Island of Gods.
At one time, Jaka Sengkala (Aji Saka) heard that there is an
island that can not be uninhabitable by humans. News occupies the island by 2 gods
and 1 Begawan descent god, also known by Jaka Sengkala. Jaka Sengkala actually
know that the god is waiting for the arrival of humans are predetermined.
From the news, Jaka Sengkala intends to inhabit the island
it. Initially, Jaka Sengkala ordered some people who are experts in matters of
sacred places, but they all failed. Finally, Jaka Sengkala meditate and invoke
divine guidance on the relevant intention. Of meditation, Jaka Sengkala more
determined to realize his intentions. In the manual, Jaka Sengkala should bring
goose eggs that did not hatch and also barley (grains). Based effort was born
and mature inner vigilance, Jaka Sengkala stepped to the island of Gods
together the followers of his kingdom, they all form one team.
Arriving on the island of Gods, was exactly according to
news reported. The forces that come together Jaka Sengkala many who face danger
and death, and even some of them, someone died while still on the way. This god
island is really very sacred, many strange things happened. If not
predetermined Lord, will certainly not be able to face.
Given this fact, Jaka Sengkala for guidance on Almighty God,
in order to realize his intentions can inhabit Gods Island safely. Completion
of the meditation, Jaka Sengkala immediately drop goose eggs that did not hatch
it, while spreading seeds of barley. At that, comes the third occupant of the
island. All three straight greetings, while conveying that Jaka Sengkala a man
who will be the realization of the embodiment of his oath, and also said that
Jaka Sengkala must precede the island god for human habitation again.
Means of goose eggs that failed to hatch along with barley
seed that can be requirement Island occupies god, then god made the island
known as the Island of barley (Pulau
Jewawut/ Barley Island). People were much barley to plant trees, as symbols
of custody starting haunted land. In fact, to this day there are still many who
believe that the Java community goose eggs that failed to hatch and barley
seeds can be used to reject the haunted land was inhabited and to be inhabited.
Sengkala Jaka and his followers were then inhabited island
of Gods. In accordance with a written history of the poet Java, first Jaka
Sengkala settle and inhabit the island of Java, is located in Purwadadi (Grobogan, Central Java).
Purwa means: Earlier, dadi meaning: Genesis.
With increasing time and also a follower, and their
descendants, Jaka Sengkala establish governance sense of wellbeing in the form
of empire. Kingdom was named the Kingdom
Purwa Carita, it means the beginning of a story / stories. Jaka then
Sengkala title Aji Saka kings. Up
until now, petilasan (legacy) Aji
Saka was still in Purwadadi, precisely in the village of Tawang Harjo.
The leadership of Aji Saka in Java led Saka calendar year.
Calendar calculation is based on the rotation of the moon. Saka year (Year Java)
in a week, there are five days: Kliwon, Legi, Pahing, Pon, Wage.
In addition, there is an interesting history, which is a
meeting between the envoy (followers) Aji Saka with messenger Prophet Muhammad
in one place on the island of Java. That said, Aji Saka when he was young, a
close friend of the Prophet Muhammad. Meeting both generate a script (letters)
which until now used as letters remain in their respective countries. Aji Saka
using Java letters, which begins with HA,
NA, up to NGA. While using
letters Hijaiyah Muhammad, who at the start of the Alif, Ba, up to Yes. This
history based on records of the poet Java which is the story passed down
through generations.
Increasingly, more and more inhabitants of Java Island.
After the death of Aji Saka, Jewawut Island entered by clans who spread the
religion. The first entry is the religion of Hinduism and Buddhism. Both of
these religions could live in harmony side by side in helped shape the
community. Because of this, barley island then known as Java-Dwipa, which means: a vehicle interaction two role models.
However, because the days are growing, it turns out the
presence of the Outer Dwipa also influence the survival of communities in Java
Dwipa. Century changed, Java-Dwipa then referred to as Java. The meaning of the
word "Java" says something very deep. Because Java is indeed
true place and true desires, “seJAneng
WAhana & seJAning haWA”.

It is most unfortunate at the present time is, almost all
Javanese society, now forgotten in history. And in fact, many of those who do
not believe at all about the history of their ancestors. This is due to
understand the influence of foreign confidence, which has been regarded,
preach, and tarnishing the spiritual sanctity of Java.
Hopefully this little note provides insight to the reader.
We really apologize if there is a less precise writing. Thank you for your
attention and participation.
