Discourse on Mangkunegara IV Javanese Islamic Spiritual Leadership
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the concepts and patterns of spiritual leadership according to Serat Wedhatama, especially
the ethical, ascetic and mystical potential of Mangkunegara IV Javanese Islamic spiritual leadership. In the context
of civilizations and the treasure of Javanese Islamic literatures, just to have the properties as a warrior is not enough
for a leader; one must also have the properties as a clergyman, or having Spiritual Leadership within oneself.
Spiritual Leadership has become one of the materials to teach (piwulang) a prince, a future king or a ruler. The basis
of this study is Serat Wedhatama by Mangkunegara IV which contains sublime teaching (piwulang luhur) which
must be a guide for a leader. This study is a qualitative research. The data is obtained from Serat Wedhatama. Data
were analyzed by descriptive method, with a scientific perspective of Sufism and hermeneutics. This study found that
Serat Wedhatama teaches that a leader must adhere to the ethical, ascetic and mystical dimensions. The ethical
dimension includes the behavior of a leader towards the community. Meanwhile, the ascetic dimension includes the
inner attitude of a leader in order to purify his soul. And the ascetic dimension includes the form of the relationship
between a leader and God.
