: Maulana Sultan Hassanudin walisongo
: Sunan Gunung Jati, took his son,
: Maulana Hasanuddin, on a miraculous
: journey to Mecca to perform the
: hajj. After performing the rites of
: the pilgrimage they go on to Medina
: to pay their respects to the
: Prophet's shrine, and it is here
: that Maulana Hasanuddin receives an
: initiation in the Naqshbandiyya
: tarekat.Sultan Hasanuddin before
: controlling this Banten area did
: tapa in places that uptil now it was
: considered as the cosmic centre in
: Banten, namely the Pulosari
: Mountain, the Coral Mountain and the
: Panaitan Island before him departed
: for Mekkah to do the pilgrim's
: religious duties. Sultan Hasanuddin
: was taught the Knowledge of the
: Sufis, Perfect Knowledge. He made
: the vow of allegiance to his shaikh
: (bai`at), was given the silsila and
: the litanies (wird) of the
: Naqshbandiyya, received formal
: instruction (talqîn) in its dhikr
: and other spiritual exercises
: (sughul, Arabic shughl,
: "work"), and finally
: received the Sufi cloak (khirqa),
: symbolising his embarking upon the
: Sufi path. one can only receive
: instruction in these practices
: (talqîn) from an authorised teacher
: of the tarekat, and only after
: pledging a vow of obedience (bai`at)
: to this shaikh. The shaikh gives his
: disciples permission (ijâza) to
: practice the tarekat; he may also
: authorise one or more of them to
: teach it to others, i.e. appoint
: them as his khalîfa. In this way a
: hierarchically ordered network of
: teachers may emerge. Each shaikh can
: show a chain of authorities for the
: tarekat he teaches, his silsila or
: spiritual genealogy. Usually the
: silsila reaches back from one's own
: teacher up to the Prophet, with whom
: all tarekats claim to have
: originated although there have been
: modifications along the way. A
: Sufi's silsila is his badge of
: identity and source of legitimation;
: it provides him with a list of
: illustrious predecessors and shows
: how he is related to other Sufis.The
: Naqshbandiyya was known, and enjoyed
: prestige, in Banten court circles.
: The association with Medina rather
: than Mecca is correct, and gives a
: cue as to when the Naqshbandiyya
: became known in Banten. In the 17th
: century, Medina was a major centre
: for this brotherhood. Maulana
: Hasanuddin's affiliation with it is
: therefore honorable, serving to
: strengthen the religious foundation
: of his dynasty. The tarekat appears
: here as a form of secret mystical
: Knowledge (and probably a source of
: power, kasektèn) possessed, by the
: ruling dynasty.
:
: Bantenese and tari kolot tradition,
: , maintains and considers Maulana
: Hasanuddin, not his father Sunan
: Gunung Jati, as Banten's first
: Muslim ruler and founder of Pencak
: Silat Cimande Girang.. Present
: practitioners of the invulnerability
: technique debus, , also claim that
: their secret knowledge derives from
: Maulana Hasanuddin,the founder of
: not only Pencak Silat Cimande and
: Debus but also Banten's Royal
: dynasty. Debus is just one instance
: of tarekat-related techniques being
: transposed to a different context of
: meaning and put to a different set
: of purposes; one may find numerous
: other instances in Indonesia The
: fame of Banten's spirituality has
: made some of the debus teachers and
: practitioners also popular as
: healers, called upon to set broken
: bones or to massage away physical
: pain but especially to cure diseases
: or other complaints believed to be
: caused by magic or evil spirits.

: Guru Besar Haji Dumyati(past) and
: Guru Besar Haji Aos Suganda(present)
: Grandmasters
:
: Guru Haji Pak Muhammad Ariffin Mang
: Ipin his family has a sound
: lineage/genealogy and a healthy
: appreciation practice and mastery of
: original walisongo silat and
: traditional healing arts which he
: chose over debus practice . his
: grandparents having being respected
: masters and veterans of the oldest
: silat of west java the most honored
: and reputed pencak silat cimande
: tari kolot girang pusaka karahun
: walisongo , his grandmother
: specialized in the rare
: gynecological healing aspects of
: silat cimande , whom was highly
: respected for her high level of
: skill and very much adored for her
: compassion. This rich tradition of
: practice and mastery of silat and
: its related healing arts and
: esoteric mystical traditions within
: his family inspired and motivated
: Guru Haji Pak Muhammad Ariffin Mang
: Ipin at that time in his youth with
: the advise and blessings of his
: family to seek out the then Guru
: besar in Tari kolot in Cimande
: village to further refine his
: studies and broaden his horizons and
: acquire a true understanding of his
: family pusaka karahun heritage. As
: for the meaning of "Tari
: Kolot": The word
: "tari" in Sundanese has a
: different meaning than in Bahasa
: Indonesia - in Sundanese it means
: something like " (vanished)
: garden", "a place where
: once a garden was" , the actual
: meaning of "Tari Kolot" is
: something like "old (vanished)
: garden". Guru Haji Pak Muhammad
: Ariffin Mang Ipin was very blessed
: and extremely fortunate to have met
: and been accepted as a closed door
: disciple of the late Guru Besar
: (grandmaster) and cimande village
: elder Haji Dumyati he studied
: assiduously everyday while leaving
: with his guru daily for just under a
: decade until his demise into the
: devine presence! He then continued
: and completed his studies of
: original silat cimande under the
: current de facto Guru besar Haji Aos
: Suganda the late grandmasters son as
: per the late grandmasters wish this
: humble attitude and sincere practice
: Resulted in him a profound
: realizations and complete holistic
: understanding and comprehension of
: the truths inherent in true silat
: cimande and the refinement of both
: the combative and healing /
: spiritual dimensions and other
: aspects of this noble art, and
: attained his khatam in the art after
: almost nearly 3 decades of learning
: , this highlights the fact to
: readers and prospective students to
: remain cautious of others whom state
: otherwise that in essence learning
: true silat can take a lifetime and
: not just a matter of weeks or months
: as some have stated and claimed
: regardless of there talent or quick
: learning abilities of those whom
: claim to have done so it would seem
: logically and practically impossible
: and improbable.!
