Mostly, my duties comprised of presenting offerings and guiding my congregation during rituals and mass prayer. However, I also provide people with counseling both on worldly and spiritual affairs.
What is a pemangku’s most important function in society?
Being a mediator between the members of my clan and their ancestral spirits. Mediator in a sense that a pemangku acts as the spiritual medium through which the ancestral spirits convey messages. A pemangku is also the repository of the ancient wisdom, the guardian of the teachings of the ancestors.
How do the duties of a pemangku differ from those of a pedanda?A pedanda is a high priest from the Brahmana clan. The high priest from my clan is called Ida Pandita Empu. The generic term for high priest is pandita or sulinggih. Both pemangku and sulinggih serve as mediators between the sacred and the profane, the mortal and the divine, man and gods. Sulinggih, however, possess higher and wider authority than pemangku. Unlike pemangku, sulinggih could use certain esoteric incantations as well as employ elaborate ritual paraphernalia. A pemangku’s geographical area of service is usually limited to certain temples whereas the sulinggih is not confined by such limitations. From a philosophical point of view, sulinggih have much more responsibility than pemangku. The sulinggih is tasked with maintaining cosmic harmony. On the other hand, pemangku are more accessible than sulinggih.
