Nuwun sewu, Pak Alan, but I believe that if in Solo the abdi dhalem palawijan may only used to be maintained, in Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat the Ngersa nDhalem Sampeyan nDhalem Hingkang Sinuhun Sultan Hamengkubawana Kalipatullah Sayidin Panatagama Kaping X, to this day still has the support of the abdi dhalem palawijan.

Salam hangat,

Thank you for your advice in respect of the situation in the Ngayogyakerta keraton, Pak Bram.
Yes, admittedly, my knowledge is limited to the Surakarta situation, and this is not first hand knowledge but what I have been told by abdi dalem during the last 20 years or so.

Hi everybody,

I apologize that it has been quite a while since my last reply, I thanked so many of you for your warmest welcome. Mr. Bram, I would love to have more conversation regarding whatever it is about keraton especialy regarding keris. Mr. Masey, I also really thank you for your input regarding my keris, the keraton and my family. Again, my really deepest apology about my english, since I became member of the royal family, strangely enough that some of antiques object "has been returned" to me such as: 3 old keris, 2 old spears (witout the wood part), an old wood cane and some other stuff. But regarding my original question that have received this keris which told to me it had been in my family centuries ago. So any information about it would be very helpful. Now I have brought the keris to Keraton, and is being washed and being "sajen". More info whatever I got from Keraton I will share it with all of you, but as much as shareable info ok....hehe
Mr. Bram, my wife is the oldest daughter PB XIII Hangabehi, the oldest son of PB XII, I know that there is some dipute regarding the throne. But I am sure that Keraton has its own rule and regulation, then time will tell. I do believe that there are things that we actually see in this world (real) and those which not (kasat mata), the "wahyu" of the Keraton will show the true one. I would love to actualy have real meeting with all of you, especialy if we can have it in Keraton Solo with my relative and really knowledgeable and powerful abdi dalem, would'nt that be fun???
A very best regards to all of you,
