The residents of Kalikudi have established an association called “Resik Kubur Rasa Sejati” (RKRS), which is active and followed by every resident, regardless of whether they follow Kejawen or are devout Muslims. The highest leader of RKRS is known as the “Bundele Adat.” In their spiritual activities, the “Bundele Adat” entrusts full authority to a “kunci” (key holder) assisted by two individuals, positioned at the right and left shoulders. This structure is permanent, and individuals within it pass down their positions to their direct descendants.
There are three fundamental principles for the order and sustainability of human life, which have been handed down through generations within this community: inner order, history, and outward conduct. These three principles must be followed and respected by each individual for peaceful and harmonious existence.
Inner order represents a basic spiritual structure possessed by every member of the association. It consists of several interconnected stages, projecting a holistic spiritual order. The function of inner order is carried out by members in the position of the right shoulder structure.
In the view of the people of Kalikudi, human history is meticulously structured, including the changes that occur. Present-day humans are actually following a structure formed through a lengthy process based on unique calculations rooted in Javanese numerology. This historical structure determines the direction of all human activities in the world.
This intricate structure is composed of indicators that humans possess, such as “pasaran” (market days), “mangsa” (seasons), and others. These indicators are interrelated and establish an order for organizing human life. The ability to connect these indicators forms the basic structure of the order of human life.
