Yes I was born in Sawahlunto
West Sumatra on January 10, 1922
100 years ago at that time
my father was a gynecologist
sent by the Dutch East Indies government
to Sawahlunto to head a
hospital connected to the
coal mining ombilin my
father and mother are
both Javanese my
mother is from Ponorogo and my father is from Madiun
about the origins of
my father's family is the eldest son
of a village head of the Merdeka Balerejo Village
which was founded by Eyang Mangunarso located
between Ponorogo and Madiun
is a village founded by Kyai or
guarded by Kyai Mangun
from Mardika came from free and
they were given
one of the policies from the King to
guard the tomb to guard the Islamic
boarding school and the reward is that
they do not pay the origin of the word
independence is the Javanese word mardiko
vertical is a village that is free from obligations
age approximately 22 23 years there was a
messenger from the seventh pleasure to
Bali which was entitled but if it was not
rubbed because it was old his grandson's messenger
Surakarta and there was there at that time
there was a commotion that might have been a
match or a religious matter about ee various things
from community figures, religious figures
and the Surakarta Palace,
all of them turned out to be
unable to provide
arguments that suited the king, the
last agenda that knew shop
had an argument that was accepted by the
seventh Queen of Surakarta, who was pleased to be
to be
attracted by the words that
knew me who was polite, smart,
intelligent and so on, so after the
meeting was over, she was called to be
given a daughter, the son of Pakubuwono, who was
none other than the second son or
more precisely the first son of
Kyai [ __ ] Abdul Latif, a
Magetan registrar whose last name was the
second son of a Kyai, the
first perdikan giripurna Kyai Muhammad Baidowi
or Kyai Betawi Kyai was none other than the
third son of Kyai Agung Muhammad
bin Umar Banjarsari, who later became the wife
of Muhammad bin Umar, this was none
other than the daughter of Kyai Agung
Muhammad Sari Kyai, excerpt from the
first Tegalsari Ponorogo Islamic Boarding School [Music]
[Music]
in Ageng Balerejo, founded by
Eyang Mangunarso in 1845
after the Java War Madiun and all
Wetan goods became Arial which
actually had a very very small population
because for almost 100 years there was a
Javanese war which was actually quite fierce
in the East Java area from Banyumas
to Ponorogo the Dutch built
382 forts
not many typical priyayi residents
after the Javanese War. This became
an interesting observation
actually during the Javanese War or
before the Javanese War between the world of santri
and men became a single
entity after the Javanese War there was trauma
from the colonial government to
separate Islam from a distance. I
saw this in the Mangonarso family.
Although he was not completely separated
from Islamic values, choosing the path of
fighting through the path of priyayi here
became a
smart choice at that time which transcended the times,
for example when he still
maintained his santri tradition, of course
he became an easy target for the colonialists at
that time. It was indeed the family of
his santri family who built Naso, also the
son of a Kyai, even a penghulu
himself or at least did not fully
use Islamic ideology in
his life, although that did not mean he was
free from the existing Islamic values.
This prototype of a man after the Javanese War
had a big impact later
on the descendants of Mangunan Roso.
How did a Mangun Atmojo
who was once the Patih of Madiun in the
Brotodiningrat era from 1885 to 1900
One of the important figures was also Mangun
Prawiro, the Head of Balerejo Village at that time,
then Mangun had a son who was
Menghundiharjo until Pak Saleh until the
new one until Kuku, that was also
education, eh, at that time it was
extraordinary, he had access to broad education which
of course this access to education was
not obtained when he was indeed
[Music]
in the Madiun residency besides Eyang
Mangunarso with the post-war world of Java,
Java,
there was my grandfather from my mother's side,
retired Patih Ponorogo, Citrokusumo and the
Brotodiningrat incident, an event that also
became the beginning of the Dawn of
Indonesian nationalism where Tirto Adi Suryo, the
Pioneer of the Indonesian Press, also
advocated the case of the conflict between
President Madiun JJ Donner and the Regent of
Madiun, Brotodiningrat, who Citra Kusumo
and his father, Doctor Sutomo, were a
small number of civil servants who were not transferred as
a result of the Brotodiningrat incident, his
grandfather was not appointed as Regent because he was
because he was
too rebellious towards the Dutch but
but
as a consolation he was given a
Dutch star My grandfather with Raden Suji,
Doctor Sutomo's father were siblings
at the prospective teacher training school
in Magelang
in Ageng in Balerejo surrounded by
expanses of
rice fields that show the attitude of Eyang
Mengunarso towards the little people
and the conditions of his time
Eyang Mangonarso built a house to
care for the rice fields, all as a
container One of the things that was done by the
grandson of Eyang Mangunarso and that
was my great-grandfather, namely Eyang
Mangun Diharjo who invited Harjo, this is his
grandson Mangunarso who
in 1922 made a testament of the
feast signed by
himself and his wife and this testament
stated that his children and grandchildren need to
take care of the house and rice fields together
which at that time were in the name of the
family and this was used for the
welfare of the family and the
surrounding community their assets were indeed extensive
their assets were many around 25 hectares to
this day Of course, what is this value, a
fairly fantastic figure in the
current context with such an area the
Mengunarso family to
this day can support many
small communities, especially workers who had
previously used the Magersari concept
entitled to cultivate but not entitled
to own And this becomes an
added value to be the one who maintains the
sustainability of this small community
Coincidentally, my father, Moko, is the
eldest son
of the eldest son who was given the Harjo,
so this is passed down from
that man when my father, Moko,
accepted the responsibility to fulfill the
Testament given by
Eyang Mangun in Harjo in 1922,
agreed to form a family association, then
then
this association had a Grand meeting in 1964,
held a Grand meeting which came out with a
resolution, so there is called the resolution of the
Mangun Diharjo extended family, the
resolution is that the extended family is
committed to
jointly maintaining the rice fields
and Sarean and that is what
we continue to carry out, the goal is
for the welfare of the family but also
for the family community itself who do
not want to use the title of Keraton
Raden Mas or Raden Ayu or
Raden Ajeng in their genealogy in 1970, the
extended genealogy was first compiled
when Mrs. Mumpuni there were no
noble titles, no educational titles
but only used two titles for
men, namely, and for women, that
's what it seems like How to
merge the Mangunan Rasul lineage family
into a family without
barriers, without rank and without
other titles, that's the
man for
married women and this and that for those who are still
ngajang, still virgins, if I'm not
mistaken, that era was
decided by
Mr. Sudiro,
Mr. Sudiro was from group 3, that became
became
in DKI, yes, which Governor of DKI,
I don't know, then
that was to
eliminate raden raden and so on,
people, so that they are
inherited by Eyang Mangunarsa,
those are the values of life, the
rice field house is just a container for those who
mengunarso to
communicate, convey
prayers so that their children and grandchildren uphold the
values that are held very firmly
by those who mengunarsa themselves, the house in
Balerejo is a
prayer for their children and grandchildren, so for
example, when we go there, we
always hear stories and one of the things
that is told in the house is a prayer
for the children to have the soul of a knight,
to have the character of an officer, to
serve the community, this is The values are
teachings about not
attaching oneself to positions, wealth,
worldly things, so that our lives are much
broader and more meaningful than that. The
second is to do something that is
hopefully useful for
others. Actually, it's quite
simple, but sometimes, especially in
today's modern world,
is there something that needs to be reminded, what are the
many pressures, so
we really have to remind ourselves.
I still remember I was only 14 years old,
one day my father called me, he said, "
You will soon be an adult,
adult,
but I want to tell you something.
You know my philosophy of life is that I
don't want to be tied to things,
that's how it is, so
don't expect that when I
die there will be an inheritance for you, okay?
okay?
I will try to give you the
best education,
after that it's up to you and God,
God,
and indeed, when my father died, he didn't have a
single thing
because before he died,
he gave millions of rupiah to
various universities. [Music]
[Music]
I am from the generation of the
independence struggle when the Japanese came. I
was studying medicine at the
GHS medical school in Batavia, then one day
at the medical school there was a
Japanese teacher who said that all heads
must shaved
we were not ready suddenly the door was
closed then some
Japanese soldiers came in using razors we were
criminals we felt insulted heads were
grabbed and bodies were held
by soldiers in Japan
not all of them were shaved just a few to
as a protest we went on strike
until we were imprisoned we were
beaten hard until everyone was like that
yeah fainted then splashed with water lifted up again
put down again who did that I
said I was
beaten again wanted to faint again we
expelled and not allowed to enter
any educational institution
under the control of the Japanese army like that
like that [Music]
[Music]
Yes that's how I dropped out of medical school
when I dropped out I returned to Solo at
that time
my father had become a doctor in Solo
yes asked by doctor Radjiman
diningrat to be his replacement
as the head doctor of health of the Solo Palace
My father said It would be better for me to be the
highest Indonesian doctor in the
Dutch East Indies than to
continue working for the Dutch
in Solo
no one dared to have anything to do
with me
So almost until the end of the
Japanese occupation I had no friends
my friends were my father's
I felt isolated,
I immersed myself in the world of
reading from my father's library
and the many second-hand books sold there
there [Music]
[Music]
the road was really painful,
sometimes I felt hopeless,
I felt like I had lost my way,
one of the stories that
our father repeated most often was the story of
when he was 18 years old, he had an argument
with his father, Doctor Saleh, at that time
Sujat Moko. Our father wanted to subscribe to
a magazine that
had a perspective on the struggle, but he
didn't have money, so he talked to his
father to ask for help, well, his father
didn't, he said, eee, his father wouldn't allow him to subscribe, he didn't
give permission for
him to subscribe. My father was disappointed
and angry and talked back to his
father, you know, my father taught us
all about the importance of independence,
national independence, and personal independence.
Independent Man is a
very important value for
my father. And maybe
if I think about it, Mang Unarso
also describes an
independent man to the point where he could say to Pakubuwono
that if he married his son, his
son must be
willing to live in the village and serve the
village community, right? Then his father,
and this is what
my father often repeated, he told me, he quoted what
his father said, namely that You
want to fight you have to learn to
fight without hatred before you
can fight without hatred I
do not allow you to enter the
Why did
both my father Sujatmoko and his father
Doctor Saleh choose not to enter
practical politics
both of them actually chose not to
not to
Doctor Saleh because actually
their peers were part of Budi
Utomo but he chose to work in the
community to serve directly my father
was also pulled into
various political parties in the end He
did join PSI But that was only after
the election was about to Before that he was full of dilemmas even then
he seemed to choose it was
better to serve directly So there is a
difference between power and service
so apparently
my grandfather Doctor Saleh and
my father since figures both made the
choice not to enter practical politics but to
serve directly not to enter a
position full of political power but
chose to serve directly the situation at
that time yes For example when
Syahrir did not become Prime Minister
when the Indonesian Socialist Party was
banned it was important for us to see
as a critical point Sudjat Mogot
but it became surprising to me because when
PSI was banned it was true perhaps close
to Bung Karno so that Bung
Karno trusted it that was a bit surprising also
for me then in the New Order era
After he became ambassador to the United States
there was the Malari incident then
if he was not thin he was banned from going
abroad but he was able to survive
again Then he became the UN Chancellor in Tokyo
it turns out that Moko was actually different
from his friends who perhaps had an
extraordinary critical point, yes, he could be in the
circle of power without having to
hinder Power, meaning he was
actually not far from the
circle of power, he tended to
be an intellectual, yes, that is,
he tended to be an
intellectual trying to stay in
I say this may be wrong but
this is the middle way Maybe he was in the
middle but he was not that close
to power but also not
far away and what if we look at
his life journey when he finished his
duty in America was assigned by
Syahrir to defend
Indonesia's position at the UN then he wanted to go home
but he asked permission he asked permission that
that
his way home would go through Eastern Europe
because he knew the debate in Indonesia
was very
intense between
which ideological approach was right for
Indonesia So he had seen
America's ideology Because he was
there when he was on duty and went around
to various cities to defend Indonesia
continuously but he said Before I
go home I want to see Eastern Europe because
I want to see What is communism
actually like, this ideology is like this so
this is a manifestation of his freedom of thought
because he doesn't want to accept me like that,
he wants to see for himself and after
he saw both of them, he only found
one person who suits him and this one
person who suits him is the one who
said we don't need to follow one or the
other, we find our own way, the
third way, our own way,
so that's what he holds so this is the
principle of being an independent thinker. The
important thing is that he
keeps asking, keeps
searching and keeps
keeps
talking with various parties to
find the truth, so this truth is
something that is very important for
my father. Sometimes he also
likes to tell us about his dreams, he likes to
dream, people have strange dreams, so
sometimes after that he
tells me about this dream, well,
one of the dreams that I
remember very well is the dream of him
looking for the truth.
My father inherited the family story
about Narso from Eyang Mangudiharjo,
Mangudiharjo,
likewise Eyang Mangundiharjo inherited it
from his grandmother,
likewise I pass on the
family story to my daughters, the
family story
about where we come from,
who we are, and the purpose of our lives,
sometimes we are taken to visit the
Rejo grave several times
staying overnight when we were there, we would tell
family stories
about who Mangu Narso was,
then about the history of the house, and
sometimes when Dad was there, there was
another family member, at that time there was a powerful mother,
eee, who always had lots of stories to tell, so
that was one of them, but
secondly, dinner was
our time together, so even though Dad was
busy, he usually made time to have dinner
together here at home, and that was the
time where he would tell us about
his life experiences or what he
was working on. I once asked
my dad,
what would he write on his tombstone when he died, what would he write
about, and he said he
wouldn't be offended by me asking that,
and he said I wanted to be remembered
as an independent thinker, an
independent thinker who can have his own ideas, that was
part of his commitment and
belief in this Independent Man,
that he could search for himself and
make independent discoveries,
not just follow the
flow, and that was very important, and
that's why he probably
taught us that, please make the
choice that you
think is right for you, the important thing is that
you are responsible for that choice,
and if you
stumble or fall, you have to be able to
get back up again. [Music]
