description of his ascension that Muhammad Subuh insisted that his autobiography be published only after his death though it was completed much earlier. From his first visit to Britain in 1957 until his death 30 years later in 1987, Muhammad Subuh is estimated to have travelled 594,320 miles outside Indonesia, visiting Subud groups around the world. On these trips he gave explanations about the nature of the Latihan spiritual exercise and the purpose and meaning of the spiritual association of Subud. Approximately 1,400 of these talks were recorded, with provisional translations to English made available at the time. These talks are currently being re-translated and republished by Subud Publications International. There are now Subud groups in over 70 countries, with a worldwide membership of about 10,000. In Indonesia itself, very little literature is available on Subuh, and therefore very few people have knowledge about Subuh or the movement he founded.
