The Place where Bapak's Association has been registered.

Quotation from the talk of Anyer, Indonesia. 2015/2/20
・・・・・
Now it turns out she is a civil servant with the Ministry of Education and Culture.

Subud is registered under her department, [the Directorate of Traditional Beliefs and Faith in God].

Why did we register Subud Indonesia under the Ministry of Education and Culture?

Why did we register Subud Indonesia there and not as a kebatinan movement?

Subud was going to be registered as a kebatinan, or mystical path, but Bapak did not agree to that,
since Subud is not a kebatinan movement.
・・・・・

First of all, it is a text of her department = [the Directorrate of Traditional Beliefs and Faith in God].

It is called Pembinaan Kepercayaan Terhadap Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dan Tradisi Ditjen Kebudayaan in Indonesian.

By the way, the Ministry of Education and Culture has a department of culture Directorate General (Direktorat Jenderal Kebudayaan), there is a department that "faith and tradition station in response to the only God" (Direktorat Kepercayaan Terhadap Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dan Tradisi) under that department.

And this is seemed the official name of "her department."

Official recognition

・・・This loosely organized current of thought and practice was legitimized in the 1945 constitution,

but failed to attain official recognition as a religion.

In 1973 it was recognized as Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa (Indonesian: Believer in One Mighty God ),

but withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Religion and placed under the jurisdiction of the ministry of Education and Culture.
・・・・・

Kebatinan organisations

Altogether several hundred kebatinan-groups are or have been registered, the best-known of which are:
Subud　
Sumarah 　
Pangestu　
Sapta Dharma　
Majapahit Pancasila　
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

As you can see from the above, faith groups other than the official religions in Indonesia are organizations that have been managed by government (recognized as a so-called Kubatinan, classified by government ) and registered in the Ministry of Education and Culture.

Then it seems that it would be the department that is just "her department" = [the Directorrate of Traditional Beliefs and Faith in God] (Direktorat Kepercayaan Terhadap Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dan Tradisi).

Well, it is the text of the talk to be read as if "Subud is registered in a different place against Kubatinan registered".

And it is likely a different recognition as a fact in its reading.

So Bapak certainly has been argued with "Subud is not a Kubatinan" .

Bapak has been said so and that is a historical fact.


However, five of the world religions have been registered and managed by Ministry of Religious in Indonesia.

And another organizations that believe the only god has been registered and managed as "faith groups" in the Ministry of Education and Culture.

This is a only one method to receive a government accredited, and another method to registered in the official government is not presence in Indonesia.

Charisma of Bapak

First of all, citations for "Charismatic_authority" from the Wiki ＜－－ link

１．Charismatic authority

Charismatic authority is a type of organization or leadership where authority is derived from the charisma of the leader.

This is contrasted with two other types of authority, legal authority and traditional authority , and all three are part of Max Weber 's tripartite classification of authority .

Max Weber defined charismatic authority as "resting on devotion to the exceptional sanctity, heroism, or exemplary character of an individual person, and of the normative patterns or order revealed or ordained by him".

The concept has acquired wide usage among sociologists.

２、Charisma

Weber applies the term charisma to

”A certain quality of an individual personality, by virtue of which he is set apart from ordinary men and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities.

These are such as are not accessible to the ordinary person, but are regarded as of divine origin or as exemplary, and on the basis of them the individual concerned is treated as a leader.”

３、Legitimization

Charismatic authority is often the most lasting of regimes because the leader is seen as infallible and any action against him will be seen as a crime against the state.

Charismatic leaders eventually develop a cult of personality often not by their own doing.

Power legitimized on the basis of a leader's exceptional personal qualities or the demonstration of extraordinary insight and accomplishment, which inspire loyalty and obedience from followers.

Leadership is the power to diffuse a positive energy and a sense of greatness.

As such, it rests almost entirely on the leader .

The absence of that leader for any reason can lead to the authority's power dissolving.

For instance, a charismatic leader in a religious context might require an unchallenged belief that the leader has been touched by God , in the sense of a guru or prophet .

Should the strength of this belief fade, the power of the charismatic leader can fade quickly, which is one of the ways in which this form of authority shows itself to be unstable.

The validity of charism is founded on its "recognition" by the leader's followers .

His charisma risks disappearing if he is "abandoned by God" or if "his government doesn't provide any prosperity to those whom he dominates".

４、Charismatic succession

Because the authority is concentrated in one leader, the death of the charismatic leader would constitute the destruction of the government unless prior arrangements were made.

A society that faces the end of their charismatic leader can choose to move to another format of leadership or to have a transference of charismatic authority to another leader by means of succession.

４－１、Designation by original leader

In this form, the original holder of charismatic authority is perceived to have passed their authority to another.

４－２、Hereditary charisma

Charisma can be perceived as "a quality transmitted by heredity."

４－３、Office charisma

The concept of charisma may be transmitted by ritual means from one bearer to another...It involves a dissociation of charisma from a particular individual, making it an objective, transferable entity.

Priestly consecration is believed to be a modus through which priestly charisma to teach and perform other priestly duties is transferred to a person.

In this way, priests inherit priestly charisma and are subsequently perceived by their congregations as having the charismatic authority that comes with the priesthood.

↑That is a quote from Wiki.

５、 the situation of the Association

Well, the spiritual authority of the Association looks as if it were taken over by the successor from Bapak.

If say along the above context, it seems that those corresponding to the "Designation by original leader and Hereditary charisma".

And anyone does not appear who take over the successor, then the association will be seems to slide into the "Office charisma" in the future.

PS
From the above,

Should the strength of this belief fade, the power of the charismatic leader can fade quickly, which is one of the ways in which this form of authority shows itself to be unstable.

The validity of charism is founded on its "recognition" by the leader's followers .

His charisma risks disappearing if he is "abandoned by God" or if "his government doesn't provide any prosperity to those whom he dominates".


The so-called active membership was about 20,000 to 30,000 people in the 1970s, then there were failures, such as the operations of the Association around the world, the wound was booking at the charisma of Bapak.

Then, as a response to such a thing, many members had to leave the Association as a result.
