In the 19th century, an old man in Surakarta observed with sadness what was going on around him: young men parading their piety.

Their worship, thin as face powder, was all for show and self promotion.

 

That old man, Mangkunegara IV, wrote a long verse poem which is still known all over Central Java: the Wedhatama.
