The Harendong Theory

Like the resilient Harendong plant that thrives on ancestral lands, drawing sustenance from Gusti nu Luhur yet flourishing under careful human tending, this theory underscores that ultimate well-being is found in a delicate, active balance between divine provision and responsible human action.
The "Harendong Theory" appears in Andi Sulistiadi's research, specifically in his 2023 study titled "Holistic Management of the Leadership of Pu'un Badui Tribe" (document ID: 7040 in the RGSA repository). The paper introduces the concept using the Harendong plant as a visual metaphor reflection

May the lessons of Harendong Theory inspire leaders, communities, and individuals across the globe to cultivate their own unique ecosystems of peace, joy, and sustainability. May we learn to honor our interconnectedness, foster unwavering commitment to our deepest values, and bravely navigate the mists of uncertainty with the same steadfast spirit found in the ancient woods of the Baduy. For in embracing the Harendong Way, we begin to chart a course towards a future not just of survival, but of profound, enduring flourishing, perpetually seeking to "bersemayam bersama Gusti nu Luhur."
