Death Penalty Warriors or Mental Disorder Healers?
The most caring response expressed to my yesterday’s
article came in the following form:
‘Hello Ma'am,
Sorry to say this but reading some
of your articles and the question comes do you need also go through a mental
counselling as several times whenever there is a 'writing you bring the 2 party
Tamils into it.
But if you do not cure the root
cause which is the state system which has failed in Sri Lanka even before they
were given independence, you need to cure that.
When you want to heal a wound, you
need not just clean it and go.
So the Ministers the monks who live
in the mythology story of Mahawamsa and Buddhist supremacy that should be cured
first
Then after that you can talk about
Tamil politicians. Armed militants, vikki, Vijayakala etc etc.
I think you need counselling or is
it your Karma.’
The above indicates that the writer is caring about me as a Tamil. The deeper need that the
response reveals is to be accepted as ‘right’ as per who he is as per HIS level
of analysis. It’s that caring that he demonstrates that entitles him to share
in my healing process.
At the Medical Faculty of the University of NSW one
of the senior academics shared with me his comfort when he was
praised by a more senior academic who declared that the former was healer and
not a warrior. When reading about the Death Penalty that the President of Sri
Lanka recently proposed to actively implement in the case of drug traffickers – I was reminded of the
above experience. Is the President
threatening to kill because he does not know how to heal?
To the above person – Mrs Maheswaran’s matter may be
of secondary importance. But to me it is important to current Tamil women who
are of similar grooming – i.e. – those who came into politics due to the demise
of the men in their life. Mrs Bandaranaike is the Sinhalese first lady who led
Sri Lankan women along this pathway. The Quota system to University entrance
happened during this lady’s reign.
According to adaderana.lk/news in regards to Mrs
Maheswaran’s matter:
“ The Organized Crimes Prevention Division
(OCPD) has informed the Colombo Magistrate’s Court that further investigations
will be carried out regarding the statement of former State Minister Vijayakala
Maheswaran regarding the LTTE.”
Now
that it is a Judicial matter – the Judge has to apply the rule of law. The Warrior
pathway has been taken due to lack of Healers in Government positions. This confirms failure to follow the Buddha
Sasana as required by Article 9 of the Sri Lankan Constitution. That is the
litmus test in relation to Sri Lanka being a Buddhist nation due to Government
practice.
From
a mental order point of view – the question needs to be asked as to whether or
not Mrs Maheswaran invoked the warrior in the President through her own ‘show’.
There
was a time when suicide was considered a punishable crime. But now more and
more Governments recognize it as a mental disorder. The punisher and/or the one
being punished – using the law to punish when out in wider world there are more
humanitarian options to heal – are demonstrating their own cruel nature. As my
Guru says – the knife in the surgeon’s hand heals; the same knife in the
warrior’s hand kills. It’s the mind that determines our status.
Is
the Death Penalty therefore the reaction to Mrs Maheswaran’s call for the
return of the Tigers to deal with drug related crimes in Northern Sri Lanka? Is
it the death penalty that the Tamil Tigers recommended to Tamil youth if they
were ‘caught’ by the Government?
Dr Arujuna Sivananthan ,
Chairman of the
British Tamil Conservatives and originally of Australia – wrote as follows in
this regard, in his Colombo Telegraph article ‘The
Suicide Act 1961’:
[Many of us who worked hard to shine the
spotlight on Sri Lanka were appalled and shocked by pages
66 and 67 of former BBC reporter Frances
Harrison’s book on Sri Lanka’s civil war, Still Counting the Dead: Survivors of
Sri Lanka’s Hidden War.
It speaks volumes to the
wanton callous disregard of some self-appointed representatives in the London Tamil
diaspora for the sanctity of human life.
The following paragraph makes very chilling reading.
“I too received a call that weekend,
from a Tamil doctor in London who wanted to tell the media that rebel medics
wished to cross into army territory, bringing with them hundreds of civilians
and injured people. He’d already tried UN and the Red Cross, who were unable to
help. The doctor was flustered and distraught, unsure when he’d be able to
speak to his colleagues on the ground again, aware their lives hung in the
balance. I told him it seemed odd to negotiate surrender through the media –
direct negotiations with the government might be better given that time was
running out so fast. He consulted colleagues in a Tiger front organization in
London, who insisted the medics should take their cyanide capsules because
surrender was not an option. I was left wondering if they just wanted to score
a propaganda point in the media, rather than actually save lives.”
Dr Arjuna goes on to
state:
[In England, the Crown
Prosecution Service’s policy on such a very serious act is clear.
A person commits an offence under section 2 of the Suicide Act 1961 if
he or she does an act capable of encouraging or assisting the suicide or
attempted suicide of another person, and that act was intended to encourage or
assist suicide or an attempt at suicide. This offence is referred to in
this policy as “encouraging or assisting suicide”. The consent of the Director
of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is required before an individual may be
prosecuted.
The
offence of encouraging or assisting suicide carries a maximum penalty of 14
years’ imprisonment. This reflects the seriousness of the offence.
Inciting, encouraging, assisting suicide or attempted suicide is
an offence in the UK. The Police’s guidance is that there is a moral obligation
to report a crime.]
As per recent promotional message - Tamil Activist M.I.A. is
soon to release a documentary in which she claims ‘genocide’ and of pain of being called a Terrorist. The
young artists claims also ‘My Dad was the
founder of the Tamil Resistance.’
As per the message the
above is to be released : “IN THEATERS SEPTEMBER UK: Sept 21 || US:
Sept 28 #MIADOC !!!!!!! Other countries”
As per
Wikipedia report ‘Arul Pragasam (also known by the name Arular and A. R. Arudpragasam) is a Tamil activist and
former revolutionary from Jaffna who had a
part in forming the group Eelam Revolutionary Organisation of Students (EROS) [Actual Founder is Ratnasabpathy] in January
1975 in Wandsworth, England during
the Tamil independence movements to secure an independent Tamil Eelam’
My question is : Is
M.I.A., the young artist guilty of inciting
suicide and indeed invoking the war genes in Sri Lanka and also in the UK and the
USA? What would be consequences of this in Sri Lanka’s North and East where
young ones are suffering from lowered minds – and therefore are likely to be
easily swayed to follow the attractive leaders?
When M.I.A. performs sensationally – there is the
high risk of invoking the warriors in those who need a fight to activate their
brains and skills.
Does therefore – the UK Government propose to take
action to prevent M.I.A. from becoming guilty under Section 2 of the UK Suicide Act 1961? – as did Frances Harrison
of the BBC?
The war experience needs to be at least liquid in
the minds of those who had the direct experience one way or the other if we are
not to do business out of others’ pains and losses. It needs to be Energy with those
of us who share through our own experience in realising Independence. One
who expects profits / benefits / pleasures – is not in service mode. To achieve
peace - one who is in service mode should never be found fault with by the
former.
The above mentioned French Tamil recommended that I
seek counselling. In other words he sees me as ‘matter’ to that extent. This
week I have been experiencing strong joint pains. Many in my family suggested
that I see the doctor. To me that meant that I was ‘matter’ to them. Only a
couple listened to me as if my pain was theirs. With one of them – Ms Rani
Ratnadevi Karthigesan Sinnathamby, I shared my own experience as follows:
[…But like you do with your Mum,
I thought of my Mum who developed this at an early stage. When I was nursing my
Mum during her last phase – the hospital nurses asked Mum to get onto the wheel
chair and in the process my Mum screamed due to unbearable leg pain. Now that I have
this pain – I think of my Mum and realise how she must have felt. It is what
you call Marana Vethanai (Death Pain). But my Mum – like yours never
expressly profited from talking about it. I knew she had pain but how strong it
was, is known only now when I have similar. ]
My pain and loss in realizing Independence happened
largely here in Australia. I carry that Energy and share it with those who
believe in me. I become their mum.
Hence I responded to the French Tamil as follows:
1. So you are
also of the opinion that I am mentally ill? One of the Judges here in
Australia also sent me for counseling on the basis that I was mentally ill.
Later that lady confessed to - herself suffering from bipolar disorder!!! That
is the way Truth helps you read yourself
If you really thought I was mentally ill, you would
not ask me for logical answers to your questions. But I choose to overlook your
duality / bipolarity and help you see how I think!
2. Your
question of ‘2 party Tamils ‘
I believe in self – search.
That is the way we become wholesome. Towards this one must have no selfish
expectations from the analyses. That is the way of research
3. Your query
: ‘But
if you do not cure the root cause which is the state system which has failed in
Sri Lanka even before they were given independence, you need to cure that’
When I write as Sri Lankan
I do see both sides as Sri Lankans. When I write as Tamil – I see both sides as
Tamil. It depends on who needs the value of my discovery. When I am writing
about a problem that we Tamils are not able to cure I have to see both sides as
Tamils. Likewise in the case of Sri Lankans.
4.
‘When you want to heal a wound, you need not
just clean it and go’
You can heal a wound
through your own ways – using your own wisdom about yourself. Beyond that you
may take external treatment. If we rely heavily on external medication – we end
up becoming victims of the Health system that lives off other people’s
dependence.
The external medication has
excesses that we do not need. Likewise external laws.
Like MIA, the Sri Lankan Government may also
organize a performance against LTTE on the basis of Mrs Maheswaran’s outburst.
In the Court of Natural Justice – the verdict would be to provide counselling
to the bi-polar disorder now that we have become more global. In other words –
that one is part of LTTE at one time – free and clever as the Jackal to kill
even the Prime Minister India and part
of Sri Lankan Government at another –saying
all the right things to please one’s party.
The parallel of that in the case of the President is
that when he registers this Energy – in Minister of Defence mode would kill to punish or recall the time
he was Minister of Health – as HE was during LTTE era and heal himself and
share that medication with others as Natural Governor blessed by all healers
starting with Lord Buddha.
Our thought structures as leaders, need to change
with time and place. If we invoke – that which is closed / finished – then we
invoke the other side of it as a virtual reality. This is why we Hindus do not
invoke the Nava Grahas (Nine Planets) controlled by Lord Saneeswaran (Saturn).
We do penance for our past sins but do not pray to them for current benefits.
