Philosophy Ha-Na-Ca-Ra-Ka in the play Semar Mbabar Self
In Javanese Ethics (Sesuno, 1988: 188) stated that in the puppet is the clown-servant Semar "Servant" Pamomong "most loved. If it appears in front of the screen, he was greeted by a wave of sympathy for the audience. As if the audience feels under pengayomannya.
Sympathy of the audience had something to do with the mythology of Java or archipelago which assumes that Semar is a character who originated from Java or Nusantara (Hazeu in Mulyono 1978: 25). He is a native god of the most powerful Java (Brandon in Suseno, 1988: 188). Despite the simple look, as a commoner, even as a servant, Semar is a god who overcomes all gods. He is the god who ngejawantah "incarnate" (a man) who later became the civil warriors of the Pandavas and the other major unbeaten run.
Hence the Pandavas were the ancestors of the kings of Java (Poedjowijatno, 1975: 49) Semar is believed to be the civil and Danyang Java and all over the world (Geertz 1969: 264). He is the wisest person of value thanks to the attitude of his heart and not because of his birth and keterdidikannya (Suseno 1988: 190). He is a selfless officials, rame ngawe ing "will mean quiet, diligent in work and memayu hayuning bawana" maintain world peace (Mulyono, 1978: 119 and Suseno 1988: 193)
In terms of etymology, joinboll (in Mulyono 1978: 28) argues that Semar is derived from the sar which means ray of "light". so Semar means something that emits light or the god of light, so he called Nurcahya or Nurrasa (Mulyono 1978: 18) that dwells within him there or Muhammad Nur, Nur divine or divine nature. Semar who have a vague manner and form, but has all the advantages already mentioned, it is a symbol of the Divine nature as well (Mulyono 1978: 118 - Suseno 1988: 191). Accordingly, Prodjosoebroto (1969: 31) argues and illustrates (in the form of calligraphy) that Semar jasat filled with the Word of Allah.
Divine nature is also shown as badranaya which means "loving leadership" that is full of leaders with compassion (Timoer, nd: 13). Semar also can be used as a symbol of a sense of being aware of "sense memory" (Timoer 1994: 4), which is remembered to the Creator and all creations of the universe. Therefore, the same divine nature, be a symbol Semar kebatinan Sapta Darma (Mulyono 1978: 35)
With regard to the mythology that merekfleksikan all the advantages and the divine in the person of Semar, the ideas that arise in staging puppet theater presented "Semar Mbabar Self". idea came from President Suharto in front of the puppeteers who are following the Plenary Meeting in Jakarta on Pepadi, 20-23 January 1995. Tujuanya to be the mastermind behind the success of the program participate in the development of fully human government, including familiarization P4 (Cermomanggolo 1995: 5). The idea was welcomed by holding the play the puppeteer is. The mastermind who had staged the play, among others: Gitopurbacarita, Panut Darmaka, Anom Suroto, Subana, Cermomanggolo and Manteb Soedarsono (Cermomanggolo 1995: 5 - Arum 1995: 10). Raised by Arum (1995:10) that in staging a puppet with the plays "Semar Mbabar So Self" is expected to be able to understand and appreciate audience kawruh sangkan Paraning dumadi "science of the origin and purpose of life, were excavated from Javanese philosophy Ha-Na-Ca -Ra-Ka. Understanding and appreciation kawruh sangkan Paraning dumadi sourced Javanese philosophy is in line with the thinking Soenarto Timoer (1994:4) that the philosophy of Ha-Na-Ca-Ra-Ka meaning as a resource that can provide guidance and a role model to the safety of life . Resources that can be symbolized by Semar berpengawak dentawyanjana literature. Even if the opinion refers Warsito (in Ciptoprawiro 1991:46) that the Javanese script was created Semar, it is fitting if the understanding and appreciation of the kawruh sangkan Paraning dumadi philosophy springs Ha-Na-Ca-Ra-Ka
