KEDUDUKAN PEREMPUAN HINDU DALAM KITAB SARASAMUCCAYA (KAJIAN ETIKA HINDU)

Sari

Knowledge of the position of women in society is of particular concern, especially for
community appraisers, because in general the position of women in society can be seen as
biased to know the back and forth of society. Knowledge of the position of women especially in
Hindu society, provides explanations that are very interesting. In the discussions that have been
carried out, our knowledge of women and the position of women or community attitudes towards
women is very little known to us. But considering the issue of the position of women in society, it
is indeed things that provide a mirror of the position of progress in society. On the interpretation
of the contextually that Sarasamuccaya text blatantly blatantly discriminates against women as
objects that must be kept away from men, but this is a discourse or advice that leaders must be
exemplary as explained in the concept of the Hindu leadership trilogy which is known as sung
tuladha, ing mad mangun karso lan tut wuri handayani means that leaders must be mediators
and motivators for subordinates and their people. That if you want to be successful, then stay
away from women who are meant here that stay away from women who are not theirs because in
the bond of men and women must be a legitimate relationship because this bond will be interwoven
in a marriage that is essentially sacred or sacred.
