Self biographical note :
This is a brief commentary by the Yogi on his childhood, immersed in the Javanese spiritual tradition with its Wayang Kulit (shadow puppet) plays, through his education abroad and consequent turn towards materialistic thinking during the Dutch occupation in Indonesia, his disillusionment with the Japanese invasion of WWII, and later, his full spiritual awakening.



Prophesy Rongowarsito
This is a treatise on the degenerated state of man as prophesized by the respected Javanese author/mystic, Ronggovarsito ( 1800s), and mankind's waiting for the coming of the avatar or messiah of The Future.

Postulations
This is some philosophy on religion from the Yogi, who dedicated great energy to addressing the global problems and solutions of world religion, and the contrast between eastern and western intellectual and spiritual orientation

Ramayana 1
The Ramayana is the most famous epic of Javanese literature, widely depicted in stories and especially in the ubiquitous Wayang Kulit (shadow puppet) plays. As the Mahabarata expresses the great moral and spiritual truths of the Indian culture, so does the Ramayana do this for the Javanese and other Indonesian people.

Ramayana 2
The way to world peace

Psycho-Philosophical Background
