Sunan Kalijaga in Art

A little story about Sunan Kalijaga's real name was Joko Said, a son Tuban Regent Raden Tumenggung Wilwatikta. His mother named Dewi Nawang Rum, based in Kadilangu, near Demak. He spread the teachings of Islam through a cultural approach and very anti-violence. One very well known cultural approach to date is the puppet prototype or patterned leather Islam. Besides the art of wayang kulit, Sunan Kalijaga also create a two-song full of meaning that lir-ilir song and shaven bald hoe.




LIR ILIR

Lir-ilir, lir-ilir
tandure wis sumilir
Tak ijo royo-royo tak senggo temanten anyar
Cah angon-cah angon penekno blimbing kuwi
Lunyu-lunyu yo penekno kanggo mbasuh dodotiro
Dodotiro-dodotiro kumitir bedhah ing pinggir
Dondomono jlumatono kanggo sebo mengko sore
Mumpung padhang rembulane mumpung jembar kalangane
Yo surako… surak hiyo…
 


Mean :
Lir-ilir, lir-ilir this song with ilir-ilir diawalii which means wake up or it could mean live (because his bed was dead) could also be interpreted as realized. But that needs to be studied again, what needs to be woken up? What needs to be turned on? What life? Ruh? consciousness? Mind? up to us important something is turned on, and do not forget here there are elements of wind, then turn means there is motion .. (we fikirkan this) .. motion to produce air. This is an invitation to make dhikr. With dhikr, then something is turned on.


Tandure wis Sumilir, Tak Ijo Royo-Royo temanten senggo not brand-new. This verse implies that already dhikr then there will get the benefits that can bring the beautiful green trees. Trees here means something that has many benefits for us. Newlyweds some interpret as Kings Java newly embraced Islam. Such rampant growth of the community to get into the religion of Islam, but the extent of absorption and implementation is still a beginner level, a new bride in the levels of married life.  

Cah Cah Angon Angon penekno blimbing kuwi. Why kok "Cah free-range"? Instead of "Mr. General", "Mr. President" or something else? Why have "Cah free-range"? Cah free-range means the one who is able to bring makmumnya, one who is able to "graze" makmumnya in the right way. Then, why "Blimbing"? Remember again, that blimbing green (typical of Islam) and has five sides. So blimbing that is sign of the religion of Islam, which is reflected in the five a side of fruit blimbing depicting pillars of Islam which is the basis of Islam. Why "Penekno"? This is an invitation to the trustees of the kings of Java to take Islam and and invite people to follow in the footsteps of the King, in carrying out Islam. 

Lunyu Lunyu penekno kanggo mbasuh dodotiro. Although painstakingly, even though full of obstacles, it could still take to clean our clothes. The meaning of clothes is taqwa. This taqwa clothes to be cleaned.

Dodotiro dodotiro, surgical Kumitir ing edge. Clothing taqwa should we clean, we get rid of that ugly ugly, we leave behind, fix, rajutlah to be beautiful clothes "the best of clothing is clothing taqwa".  

Dondomono jlumatono kanggo sebo Mengko afternoon. Message from the Mayor that one day you will die and will meet the Creator to account for all your actions. So benahilah and shape all that ye Islamanmu congratulations on the day of accountability in the future.

Mumpung padhang rembulane, mumpung Jembar kalangane. The guardians are reminded that the followers of Islam implement it when the door is still wide open guidance, when the opportunity was still there in plain sight, while still attached to the age of our life.

Yo surako Hiyo Surak. Say hello to this call by the cheers of "let's apply Islamic law" as a sign of happiness. O ye who believe, fulfill God's call and the call Apostle when the Apostle calls on you to one who gave life to you (Al-Anfal: 25)   

GUNDUL-GUNDUL PACUL




Bald-Gundul Pacul song was created around 1400's by Sunan Kalijaga and friends who at that time was still a teenager and this song has a philosophy that is deep and very noble.Let's dig a deeper meaning for the sake of the meaning of a song that, so that the leader [leader of the household, corporate leaders, organization leaders, etc.] first Chief of State guess the Republic of Indonesia is conscious, what and how to carry out the mandate of the People's appropriate 'pitutur' from the song's Bald-Bald hoe.Halak is the Head plonthos no hair. The head is a symbol of honor, the glory of man. While the head of hair is a symbol of beauty, so that Halak has meaning without a crown of honor.Shovel or a hoe farming tools made of iron plates quadrangular. And given the shaft to grip called 'Doran' stands for 'nDedongo marang Prince' [Gusti pray to Allah]. In this case hoe or hoe is low in subjects emblem symbolized by the figure of a farmer.Hairless Pacul means that a true leader is not a person by the Crown but he is the bearer Hoes [hoes] to hoe, seek prosperity for the people or for the many [people]The Javanese call Pacul stands for 'Papat Kang Ucul' [four loose]. The question is what's Four things off? Indeed Glory someone hanging 4 p. If all these four things off, then it must let loose glory / honor one's first leader. Four things are, Eye, Ear, Nose and Mouth

  1. Eye, used to see the difficulties of people or crowds [read the general public]
  2. Ear, used to listen to the advice, listen to the heart cry of the people, so that a leader be sensitive to the problems faced by the people.
  3. Nose, used to smell the fragrance / aroma goodness.
  4. Mouth, used to do justice, not just say that will only hurt the people
Gembelengan, it means a big head, arrogant, conceited and play in the use of honor. Nyunggi-nyunggi Wakul kul, means putting cething [a rice] following the above Head rice. Wakul ngglimpang segane dadi sak background, cething fall so that the rice is scattered throughout the yard.
Let song Bald-Bald hoe is complete.

"Gundul gundul pacul cul ......, gembelengan. Nyunggi nyunggi Wakul kul ...... .., gembelengan .........., Wakul ngglimpang segane dadi sak Latar ... ..wakul ngglimpang segane dadi sak Latar "

Bald-shaven Pacul Cul, meaning that if a person who has lost four head Indera [eye, ear, nose, and mouth] will result in 'Gembelengan' or supercilious, play around with the use of honor. 'Nyunggi-nyunggi Wakul kul', it means upholding the mandate given people / general public with 'Gembelengan' or arrogance, which in turn 'Wakul Ngglimpang' means the mandate falls untenable Segane dadi sak background means, in vain does not benefit welfare of the people / people, and ultimately bad news will spread all circles.
