Mencermati Kepemimpianan Komprehensif dalam Asthabrata

<p><em>The concept of leadership is found in many Javanese old texts, such as Serat Asthabrata, Serat Wulangreh, and Serat Tripama. Among these old texts, the concept of leadership written in Asthabrata is regarded as the most popular one in the life of Javanese or Indonesian people. It is because the development of the leadership concept in Asthabrata was unique and interesting. Asthabrata’s teachings were born in the Hinduism era and derived from Serat Ramayana. Following the Javanese society’s belief that changed from Hinduism to Islam, the leadership concept of Asthabrata shifted. The Hinduism concept symbolized in Hindu Gods’ roles turned symbolically into natural objects. It occurred because Islamic beliefs did not adhere to Hindu Gods; therefore, the concept was realized symbolically in natural objects, such as the sun, earth, moon, fire, ocean, star, wind, and cloud. One of the intriguing things to understand is that any of those objects provide no leadership. However, leadership is comprehensive - an ideal leader is the one who meets the characteristics of those objects, known as woluning atunggal (eight as unity). This article aims to describe the characteristics of comprehensive leadership in Asthabrata teachings as a reference to develop the ideal leadership concept in Indonesia.</em></p>

This research aimed to explain the conceptual persistence of spatial transformations in the Joglo house nDalem Puspodiningratan based on Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana philosophy. This philosophy is the public wisdom directed towards maintaining a harmonious relationship between humans and each other, nature, and God. This philosophy is applied in several dimensions of the Javanese life such as the architecture which is meaningfully designed. Moreover, the Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana is observed to be playing an important role in the spatial configuration of the traditional Joglo house. It is important to note that nDalem Puspodiningratan is a traditional Joglo house with a well-maintained condition and which undergoes a spatial transformation due to the inhabitation of alternating families. This research was, therefore, conducted using visual observation and documentation, literature review, interviews, graphic method, and comparison to explore the Joglo transformation data and background. The results showed the Joglo nDalem Puspodiningratan persisted in preserving the Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana's philosophical principles despite the spatial transformations. Meanwhile, the transformations discovered to be violating the traditional house rules are believed to be reducing the Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana practice while those observed to be following the rules maintain the practice. There is a need for further research on the transformations of traditional buildings in other cases of the traditional Javanese architecture to show the existence of spatial transformations and conceptual persistence related to Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana.
