Mbah Suro
Muljono, also known as Surodihardjo (17 March 1921 – 5 March 1967), or more popularly as Mbah Suro or Mbah Suro Nginggil, was a shaman, mystic, Sukarnoist, and village head from Blora Regency.
Born with the name Muljono, Suro came from a prominent family in Nginggil. His father was a village head, and he was a descendant of the founders of Nginggil. During the National Revolution, he fought against the Dutch by joining the Yadau Brigade. After that, he served as the Village head of Nginggil for 16 years (1946–1962).
After stepping down as village head, Suro focused on becoming a mystic. He established a hermitage in Nginggil and gained followers. After the 30 September Movement (G30S), Suro drew even more attention as many Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) members fled to his hermitage.
The presence of fleeing PKI members led the Diponegoro Commander to order Suro to close down his hermitage. Suro refused to obey, prompting the Indonesian National Armed Forces (ABRI) to send troops to Nginggil on 5 March 1967. During the military operation in Nginggil, he was defeated and captured. However, he was killed that day while trying to escape.
Muljono was born in Nginggil on 17 March 1921. He was a descendant of the founders of Nginggil. His father, Resosemito, was the Village Head of Nginggil, and his mother was named Sumitah. He had six younger sisters. He attended elementary school. During his school years, he was known as a lazy student with poor academic performance. He was also mischievous as a child. Nevertheless, he managed to graduate from primary school.
During the National Revolution, Muljono joined the Yadau Brigade, led by Ahmad Wiro, with the rank of sergeant. This brigade was part of the Indonesian Navy.
In 1946, Muljono was elected as the Village Head of Nginggil after receiving 100% of the votes in the election. In 1960, he was reported to be a sympathizer of the BTI and PKI.
On 24 April 1962, he submitted a letter to the Resident of Pati requesting to be relieved from his position as Village Head of Nginggil. The request was granted, and Muljono stepped down as village head on 31 July 1962. According to Ramelan, Muljono resigned due to his involvement in the encroachment of Forestry Service land. Another version states that he left his position as village head to focus more on spiritual practices.
