BRAHMASTAJI 7:10"

Djiwoastra - Single 2021

The music is more of a reflection of the ideas, the main thing is to get the concept across. In the name of Father Akhasã and Mother Prtiwi, fight for us and regain your honor ...

Latar Belakang

Brahmastaji didedikasikan sebagai penyuara peringatan atas proses penghancuran sistematis nilai -nilai budaya, suku, spiritual kepercayaan, status sosial masyarakat adat, berikut nilai-nilai ajaran kearifan istiadat yang bersifat khas berdaulat atas hak ulayat.

Bangsamu, dalam bahaya "Kulturisida"! Berawal dari indikasi kecaman yang kuat dan kontroversial guna membenturkan kelompok masyarakat, semuanya terbelah, saling curiga lalu pemetaan perang identitas dimulai. Nantinya secara gradual akan muncul "kawin mawin" paksa berujung pada rekruitmen. Terjadi perubahan sikap perilaku pola yang memaksa percakapan ke dalam bentuk komunikasi baru, penamaan, penggunaan bahasa, serta aksara.

Penghancuran fisik simbol-simbol kebudayaan Nusantara lama secara sistemik dan masif. Pengaburan sejarah.

Pada akhirnya, konversi paksa bentuk kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan hingga pengambilalihan kekuasaan tak akan terhindarkan (lagi).

Brahmastaji bermuatan peringatan dini akan ancaman penghancuran jatidiri.

Brahmastaji berisi tekad puputan kita untuk selalu siaga dan waspada.

Aktifkan brahmastra dalam diri kalian mulai hari ini!

Bangkitlah generasi digdaya,

Adidaya hak lahir kita!

Invocation :

Sun Djiwoastra pangereh kawisesaning brajagni hamateg risang Brahmastaji-ku,

kinarya ungeling srya jangkung pitulung amrih rahayu kalis hing rubedha nir hing sambikala uwal sengkalaning bebendhu, pageblug gering grubug sumingkir! Linebura sira nirsadguna mwah tan pantes den nuta, pjah de nira ... Lebur hamawur geseng tumukweng delahan ... .

Release | December 2021

I spent December as I began the year…in a struggle with this word. But rather than the struggle of unpacking what needed to be released, the struggle this month is in the packing away of release. Because I think release is not a word I can just pack away and move on from… instead (and despite how much it pains me to say this) release is a word I will carry with me as I go forward into 2022…

I want to drown in my tears, And my tears are my prayers. ― Luffina Lourduraj Silly, silly me in thinking that I was done with release…  because it is certainly not done with me! This month I got to put into practice all that I have learned over the past year – active, painful, excruciating practice. Somethings are easy to release… like tears. Other things are not so simple as that… but those…

I am unbelievably ready to release release and because that is all I could think about this month… I have begun thinking about my word for next year and some amazing possibilities are floating around over here! There is nothing like the excitement of a new word…not that I want the year to be over or anything… okay, maybe I do! lol This was a very “loose” month for my word and me… I did not even…

Everything in life goes back to the basics. — Kron Gracie This month’s prompt encouraged us to go back to basics with our word. Okay. So this month I tried to search out “back to basics” with my word and I had some wins! This year I have really focused on staying in the moment, day, and yes, season. This was a huge change versus old me who was always focused on what is coming next, and yes…lots…

“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free August…eight months “in” on release and still…the struggle remains real. I started off the month in a good direction or at least I thought I did and then I just sort of set everything down and…

FOMO (fear of missing out) is the enemy of valuing your own time. — Andrew Yang This month, Carolyn encouraged us to have fun…and I spent a good bit of time thinking about how to work fun into my word…release. So I started by filling in my clouds with what filled my day… things I liked and things I struggled with… Then I gave things stars that improved my day… and the starless clouds all seemed…
