LEADER
One of the nation's children that I admire his leadership is going to
Gajah Mada . Figure to me very mysterious because unknown and unrecorded
when the legend is born , death is not as mysterious as well known when
and where the location of the death . Estimated Gajah Mada was born in
the early 14th century , in the Brantas River valley between Mount Kawi
and Mount Arjuna . Come from the common people , not of the wealthy or
aristocratic family . Since childhood, he has a very strong leadership
talents exceed those of peer in his time and he allegedly continued to
forge himself in order to enter into the kingdom of environmental forces
. Gajah Mada own name meaning " Elephants are intelligent , agile , and
energetic . "
Gajah Mada also known by the public as the MPU Gadjah Mada
Jaya , or Dwirada Mada . He is believed to be an incarnation of the Ox
Muksa of Lord Vishnu . With the belief that society , Gajah Mada got a
very strong legitimacy of the entire people of Majapahit , thus gaining a
strong adherence support and confidence of the people of the king .
Early career began as a member of warriors Police Hospitals . Because of
his ability , he was appointed as Head of Private Police Hospitals
jacks or with the task of leading the security forces and guards Raja ,
if this time might as Chief Paspampres .
Gajah Mada devotion to the country began in the reign of
King Jayanegara ( 1309-1328 ) . At this time , a lot of achievements
shown by Gajah Mada , thus making his performance continues to climb .
One of them is recorded in history was when Gajah Mada managed to save
the government from a coup Ra Kuti . So that he was awarded for his
achievements in the area of Kahuripan became regent in 1319 . Gajah
Mada Patih Kahuripan served for 2 ( two ) years , ie from 1319 to 1321 .
Position as regent Kahuripan is challenging for him . With this
position , Gajah Mada can continue to improve the knowledge , skills ,
and experience in the areas of leadership , governance management , and
public administration ( state administration ) . One ability that was
greatly admired by the people of Majapahit , especially the palace is in
problem solving and decision making . His ability to analyze a problem
in a very sharp and decisive in taking a decision .
In 1321 , he was promoted to Patih in Daha , which is an area that
More prestigious with a larger area than Kahuripan , replacing Arya
Tilam . Course of their duties in Daha , Gajah Mada get support
(endorsement ) , education ( training ) , training ( coaching ) , and
coaching ( counseling ) from senior who is the current Supreme Patih
Majapahit , namely Arya cistern . Ability Gajah Mada saw remarkable
cistern seems to make Arya deliberately mobilize Gajah Mada to take his
place someday .
Together Adityawarman in 1331 , Gajah Mada successfully
quell separatism kasusu Sadeng . This further smooth the way to replace
the cistern as Maha Arya Patih Majapahit . Until when Arya cistern feel
old and want to retire as Supreme Patih , Arya cistern
Tribhuawanatunggadewi Jayawisnuwardhani propose to the Queen to appoint
Supreme Gajah Mada as regent in his place . The Queen had approved the
proposal to raise the cistern Arya Gajah Mada of Majapahit kingdom as
regent Maha .
Like the inaugural Head of Government today , when confirmed as a
Supreme Patih , Gajah Mada make a political statement or promise is
extraordinary . Appointments are legendary to this day and will always
be remembered by many generations , that is a promise known as Palapa
SWEAR .
The Palapa Oath Pararaton contained in the book , which reads :
Sira Gajah Mada Pepatih amangkubumi tan swing amukti palapa , sira Gajah
Mada : " Seagrass huwus lose archipelago Ingsun amukti palapa ,
seagrass Desert lost ring , ring Seram , Tanjungpura , Haru ring , ring
Pahang , Dompo , ring Bali , Sunda , Palembang , Tumasik , saman Ingsun
amukti palapa . "
meaning :
He served as regent Gajah Mada Mangkubumi not want to enjoy the palapa ,
Gajah Mada he said : "If we had lost the entire archipelago , I will
enjoy the palapa : If you've lost the Desert , Seram , Tanjungpura ,
Haru , Pahang ( Peninsula ) , Dompo , Bali , Sunda , Palembang, Tumasik (
Singapore ) , at that time I enjoyed the palapa .
An extraordinary political appointments and he can
finally realize to unite the archipelago , an area larger than the area
of the State of Indonesia is currently covering entire Malay peninsula
( Malaysia and Singapore ) , Sumatra , Java , Kalimantan , Sulawesi ,
Sunda small , Bali , Maluku , Papua , to the area of Darwin (
Australia ) .
Many things can be learned and inspire today's leaders of the journey of
Gajah Mada in an attempt to become a Supreme Patih , ranging from
idealism , willingness to forge ourselves by improving the knowledge ,
skills , and experiences ( competence ) , its ability in analyzing and
solving problems problem , decisiveness in taking a decision , authority
( regarded as the incarnation of Lord Vishnu ) , and the most important
is the commitment to hold promise in a political vision , namely the
merging of the archipelago .
