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.

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.

Australia submitted a proposal to change the WSA Bylaws in the form of a Charter, and Britain submitted proposals that would impact the WSA Bylaws on the definition of ‘consensus’ in decision making, “WSA membership,” and on the use of the term “International Subud Committee.”
