SUBUD AS AN ORGANIZATION
However, since we are human beings living in this world, who need food and clothing and who need
to look after ourselves so that we are at peace and secure in society, as well as worshipping God we need to create
an organisation, so that we can organise ourselves in the way people normally do in this world. Of course the way
we organise ourselves needs to be adjusted to the conditions of our local society, and also to the laws and regulations
of the country we are in.Therefore we need to formulate statutes that do not go against the laws and regulations
of our country, nor the principles and aims of Subud.

Subud is an international organisation of people who have received a contact with the great life force, or power of God which has awakened an inner vibration. This inner vibration manifests in individually unique
ways during the spiritual practice of Subud (latihan kejiwaan) and provides inner guidance for each person’s unique path through life.

The membership of Subud consists of people from all cultures and religious groups as well as people not
practicing a formal religion.

The word Subud is an abbreviation of the words Susila Budhi Dharma.

Susila means to be able to live according to the Will of God as really true human beings.

Budhi indicates that in every creation, in every creature of God, including human beings, there is divine power which works within.

Dharma means the possibility for every creature, including human beings, to surrender and submit completely to God’s Will.

Subud therefore contains “the possibility for human beings to follow the right way of living.”

Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo was born in central Java, Indonesia in 1901. He died in 1987 on the morning after his 86th birthday. He is referred to affectionately by Subud members as “Bapak”, an Indonesian term of respect meaning “father” or “sir”. 

Bapak was the first person to receive “latihan kejiwaan Subud”, and he subsequently toured the world giving explanations and answering questions about the path of Subud.
