..PETRUK grandfather Mystery of Mount MERAPI.
.
MERAPI MOUNTAIN on the border of the provinces of the Special Region of Yogyakarta with Central Java indeed holds many mysteries. Among the volcanic eruptions that cause this natural disaster, we will try to uncover the mystery of the Mount Merapi stored in the Mount Merapi.
In the midst of the anxiety of the people around Merapi with the wedhus trash on Mount Merapi, the refugees and jogja residents were shocked by the circulation of a photograph of clouds on the top of Mount Merapi taken by a resident. And strangely the clouds formed the face of Mbah Petruk who was one of the puppet figures with sharp nose. The mystery of Mount Merapi Mbah Petruk is inseparable from the myths of the people who live on the slopes of Mount Merapi. They believe that the mountain in the Central Java and Yogyakarta regions was controlled by a supernatural figure, namely Mbah Petruk.
Residents think mbah petruk is angry with the people, and vent his anger through natural disasters that volcano erupted and appeared from the soaring smoke coming from Mount Merapi.
Strangely, in response to this the residents held a ceremony to quell the anger of Mbah Petruk by sacrificing a cow and then carried to the slopes of Mount Merapi. after being carried to the slopes of the mountain, the head of the cow, and the legs of the cow are cut and planted in the land of the slopes of Mount Merapi while the meat is distributed to the people.
Mount Merapi is also believed to be the palace of spirits. Panembahan Senopati the founder of the Mataram kingdom gained victory in the war against the Pajang kingdom with the help of the Merapi ruler. Mount Merapi erupted to kill Pajang army, the rest ran helter-skelter in fear. Residents believe that Mount Merapi is not only inhabited by humans but also inhabited by other creatures which they call the nation of delicate creatures or spirits.
Residents in the Mount Merapi area have beliefs about the existence of haunted or sacred places. The haunted place is believed to be a place that has been guarded by spirits, where it cannot be disturbed and that place has supernatural powers that must be respected. Abstinence for activities such as cutting trees, grazing and taking or moving objects in the area. In addition to these restrictions there are also taboo not to talk dirty, urinate or defecate, because it will cause offense to the spirits who inhabit the area.
The most haunted places on Mount Merapi are the Merapi crater as a palace and the center of the palace of Mount Merapi's spirits. Below the peak of Mount Merapi there is an area of ​​rock and sand called "Bubrah (broken) Market" which is believed by the community to be a very haunted place. The "Bubrah Market" is believed by the community to be a large market for the Merapi Palace and the large stones scattered around the area are considered to be stalls and tables for spirits.
Part of the palace of Merapi spirits that are considered haunted is Mount Wutoh which is used as the main gate of the Merapi Palace. Wutoh Mountain is guarded by spirits namely "Nyai Gadung Melati" whose job is to protect the environment in the mountain area including plants and animals.
In addition to places directly related to the Merapi Palace there are also other places that are considered haunted. The area around the tomb of Sjech Djumadil Qubro is a haunted place because his tomb is a tomb for the ancestors of the population and it must be respected.
Furthermore, other places such as in the forest, water sources, petilasan, rivers and ravines are also considered haunted. Some forests that are considered haunted are "Patuk Alap-alap Forest" where the place is used for grazing livestock belonging to the Merapi Palace, "Gamelan and Bingungan Forest" and "Pijen Dadn Blumbang Forest". Bukit Turgo, Plawangan, Telaga putri, Muncar, Goa Japan, Umbul Temanten, Bebeng, Ringin Putih and Watu Gajah.
Some types of sacred animals living in the forest around Mount Merapi are owned by Eyang Merapi. Forest animals, especially white tigers that live in the Blumbang forest, are never caught or killed. Furthermore, horses that live in the Patuk Alap-alap forest, around Mount Wutoh, and between Mount Selokopo Ngisor and Gunung Gajah Mungkur are considered / used by the people of the Merapi Fine Creatures Palace as mounts and towing trains.
At the peak of Merapi there is a palace similar to the Mataram palace, so here there is its own organization that regulates the government hierarchy with all its attributes and activities. The Merapi Palace according to the local community's belief was governed by brothers namely Empu (master craftsman) Rama and Empu Permadi.
Like the government as the Head of State (Empu Rama and Empu Permadi) delegated his power to Kyai Sapu Jagad in charge of regulating the natural conditions of Mount Merapi. Next there is also Nyai Gadung Melati, this figure is tasked with maintaining the greenness of the Merapi plant. There Kartadimeja in charge of maintaining palace animals and as commandos of spirits. He is the most famous and well-liked figure of the population because he often tells when Merapi will erupt and what residents must do to save themselves. The next figure is Kyai Petruk, known as one of Merapi's warriors.
Once the magnitude of the services that have been provided by the figures of the inhabitants of Mount Merapi, then as a form of their love and thanks to Mount Merapi, the community around Mount Merapi provides a tribute in the form of religious rituals. It has become a Javanese religious tradition that is by holding a salvation or wilujengan, by performing religious ceremonies and sacred acts.
The Labuhan salvation ceremony is held routinely every year on the date of Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X's birth which is on the 30th Rajab. The ceremony was centered in the Kinahrejo hamlet of Umbulharjo village. This is where the figure of Mbah Marijan lives as a caretaker of Mount Merapi, who often serves as the
leader of the harbor ceremony. Mount Merapi and Mbah Marijan are two things that are difficult to separate. The existence of old man Mbah Marijan and his friends is more human, willing to open their inner eyes and ears to see what is invisible around Mount Merapi.
In Selo every new year Java 1 Suro (Javanese calendar is calculated by combining two cycles, namely the solar calendar and the lunar calendar) is held a ceremony of Mount Alms, with the hope that the community will be safe, secure and prosperous, with an abundant harvest. The ceremony is accompanied by planting buffalo heads on the summit of Merapi or in Bubrah (broken) Market.
