The Philosophy of the Sengkelat Keris: A Mirror of History
The name "Sengkelat" originates from the Javanese language and translates to "senkel atine" – meaning angry or resentful. This name is inextricably linked to the turbulent era of the Majapahit Kingdom. In a time when dissatisfaction with the government grew, often prioritizing the interests of entrepreneurs over those of common people, the Sengkelat Keris was born. It was the powerful response of the people to the overwhelming dominance of the nobility and the wealthy.
Legend has it that the Sengkelat Keris entered into direct competition with the legendary Keris Nogo Sosro and Keris Sabuk Inten. While Nogo Sosro and Sabuk Inten symbolized the affluent business class, the Sengkelat Keris represented the common, suffering people. It was created to match the supernatural powers of its mighty counterparts and quickly gained significant recognition among the Mpu-Mpu (master smiths).
The original and deeper intention behind the creation of the Sengkelat Keris was to remind the rulers of their duty: not to be selfish and to prioritize the well-being of their people. The Sengkelat Keris, in its designation "senkel atine," embodies the sadness and disappointment of the people towards the nobility – a memorial and a call for justice in a turbulent era.
