Abstract

Javanese culture was the foundation of human mental development in Praja Mangkunegaran. The formation of Praja Mangkunegaran embraces the basic philosophy of love for the motherland which is represented in various cultural forms. Interesting trends regarding the development of Javanese culture in Mangkunegaran occurred in the early 20th century. With the element of modernization, the Mangkunegaran rulers adopted a strategy to reform the presentation of Javanese culture so that it could be understood by the wider community. In Mangkunegara IV era (1881-1853) Serat Wedhatama, Tripama, Wirawiyata, and Warayag were used as supplies for prospective convicts, soldiers, and sons and daughters of the palace. Mangkunegara IV even composed a fiber entitled Serat Babad Nyanjata Dhateng Wanagiri containing advice for the next Prangwedana candidate and presented it to the crown prince candidate while accompanying Mangkunegara IV’s visit to Wanagiri. These works were made in the form of macapat and presented on various routine and incidental occasions. In the Mangkunegara V period (1853-1896), performing arts became the dominant aspect that was developed during this reign. Wayang purwa, dance, gamelan and ballet performances are taught to families and courtiers. Mangkunegara VI imitated various piwulang teachings to be integrated into education policy. As Mangkunegara VII viewed in terms of art and culture, he asserted the importance of exploration of Javanese language and perpetuation of ‘wayang’ tradition. Mangkunegara VII prioritized both of the aspects as a basic foundation to achieve the progress of a nation by holding tightly the Javanese cultural custom. Mangkunegara VII was a king of Javanese people and respectable leader in colonial administration who tried to conserve Javanese traditional culture in the changing era.
