Vishu on Garuda By Raja Ravi Varma

Indonesia – Snake or Garuda?

The Independent article ‘Indonesian President Joko Widodo describes death penalty as 'positive' after Bali Nine executions’ came with the picture of Garuda (Eagle) – Lord Vishnu’s vehicle. Out of the Hindu Holy Trinity – Brammah, Vishnu & Shiva – Vishnu Protects Life – so we would maximize the use of our body towards realizing our Divinity. It is disappointing  that Indonesian Government which carries the Garuda Logo is not loyal to Protecting the Body. The Snake / Naagam around the neck of Lord Shiva symbolizes the shedding of the body as depicted by the snake  shedding its skin regularly.  Naagam is the food of Garuda. There is a Tamil song by Poet Kannathasan -  which goes as follows : [The Snake around the neck of Paramasivan (Lord Shiva) asked Garuda ‘Are you well?’].

Indonesian President Mr. Joko Widodo is playing the role of Snake even though he is required to be Garuda with far vision and protecting the body towards realizing the higher values of life. The problem is that this Snake is not protected by Paramasivan. Lord Shiva helps us lose Body Consciousness. One who is driven by killing the body prematurely would not be able to raise consciousness of it  to the higher level.  The actions of the Indonesian Government – in executing its prisoners even when they are not reformed – only gives a different form to the issue of drugs. Lord Vishnu in the form of  Krishna gave us the message that one could wage war and kill in combat as a last resort. Prior to that those in power have the responsibility to quietly absorb the losses due to irreconcilable differences . When they believe that all within their power has been done – then they can declare ‘war’ as Equals. Those who are sentenced to death while in the custody of the authorities concerned – are not Equals. Such deaths  like the change of skin by the Snake – which sheds one to take on a new one.  One who thinks that killing the body is the answer is disconnected to Indonesia’s traditional governance roots.

 As per the above article [Mr Widodo insisted he had no regrets about the executions and said: "The death penalty is still our positive law."]

If indeed executions were part of the LAW of the country – then it should not have been brought down to political level.   By bringing it down to political level – Mr. Widodo was confirming that law and order  system was not working.   Hence the cheap way of rousing emotions.

As per the above news report:

[The President defended the decision following after Gillian Trigg, the Australian Human Rights Commissioner, suggested that supplies of foreign aid should be altered in accordance with countries’ human rights record]

Foreign Aid is outside the Jurisdiction of the Australian Human Rights Commission. Each one of us has jurisdiction as per our respective positions. We need to first demonstrate our strength through those official positions before making suggestions as equal and free citizens.

Professor Andrew Byrnes of Australian Human Rights Centre, Faculty of Law, University of New South Wales, in his article ‘The Bali 9 case – where has international law gone?’ states:

[Another option would be to propose referring the matter to the International Court of Justice. However, although Australia has accepted the jurisdiction of the Court, Indonesia has not. Nonetheless, it would be possible for Indonesia to agree to the Court hearing this particular case, but once again it will not do so if Australia does not propose it. In 1998 Indonesia was prepared to submit to the Court a dispute with Malaysia in relation to sovereignty over two small islands off Borneo. Of course, disputes over territory may be viewed as different to this type of case, and the fact that Malaysia won that case may also not be helpful in persuading Indonesia to this course of action.]

The Australian Human Rights Commission has a poor record in terms of using Discretionary Powers of the President which to my mind is the parallel of Clemency powers of the President of Indonesia. The Australian Human Rights Commission kept dismissing my complaints under Section 46 PH (1) (c ) which states:

The President may terminate a complaint on  the following grounds:

the President is satisfied that the complaint was trivial, vexatious, misconceived or lacking in substance;

I was sent to prison for waiting peacefully see the Vice Chancellor of the University of New South Wales and I filed complaints against both parties – the University of New South Wales and the NSW Police. A simple read of the Inclosed Lands Provision Act 1901 would have confirmed that the arrests were unlawful. How could dismissal of complaint by someone who suffered such pain and loss – for seeking to uphold her the dignity of her work – qualify as ‘trivial, vexatious, misconceived or lacking in substance?’  To me the dignity of my sovereignty as an individual was far more important than escaping the unlawful clutches of the University and Police authorities. They were trying to intimidate me  - so I would leave of my own accord. That was harassment.  I relied on my Truth and that Truth showed me the way beyond these official limits.  Hence my service to Bali 9 leaders through Myuran Sukumaran of my Community – so he also would uphold his dignity as a Sovereign Individual rather than submit and fear those who had the physical power to cause his death. I believe that Myuran raised himself to the higher level through his art. The parallel of that for me is my writing. That Truth alone can release us from bondage to external powers. Myuran’s brother’s account of his exchanges with Myuran confirm that Myuran did not fear death of  his body.  In some ways Truth becomes our Guru when we look beyond the immediate.

The real Human Rights value  of a Nation is the consolidated value of investments made by its citizens of their own free will in Human Rights. The rest – including the Human Rights Commission and its structures are for economic and status purposes. The Australian Human Rights Commission wronged in regards to at least one Australian citizen’s sovereignty.  One of those protect by the Commission was Mr. Howard about whose  Government the following was said exactly 10 years back in relation to Bali 9:

[the Australian government has decided to turn the other cheek as nine Australian citizens confront the distinct possibility of the firing squad.] John Roberts – World Socialists Website.

Those of us who ‘protect’ our own are limited to local power. Truth is the Universal Power which will work to uphold our Sovereignty at all times. The Australian Human Rights Commission needs to clear its karma by identifying with its own Truth. Then it will naturally strengthen the Sovereign Powers of Australia.

Jaffna Tamil Woman

Today is Mothers’ Day.  Today my attention was drawn to the following:

[Tamil women, nay Eelam Tamil Women have reached the zenith in their professions and business the world over, and, particularly in the West! Many have taken silk, summited the heights of academia; there are tens of thousands of surgeons, physicians, and, of course multi-millionaire entrepreneurs. Their children attend schools such as Eton College (England, whose alumni include several hundred royal princes), Geelong Grammar (Australia, Rupert Murdoch, Kerry Packer et. al.), Phillips Exeter (many American Presidents), Raffles Institution (Singapore’s elite) etc. etc. Tamil wives in the twenty first century, even in dysfunctional families do not countenance being battered and raped by their husbands, or, being violated by their husband’s family. Yet this is exactly what happened to tens of thousands of them at the hands of their Sinhalese “husbands” if you believe Wigneswaran’s definition of the relationship between the Tamils and Sinhalese, in an interview granted to Meera Srinivasan of India’s Hindu newspaper. He says, “We will fight, but sometimes we come together. The next-door neighbor must not come and say ‘you must divorce, you must divorce’”. The neighbour according to Wigneswaran are the politicians of Tamil Nadu. Of course, in saying so Wigneswaran seeks to instill in perpetual bondage the Tamil people in the abusive hands of their Sinhalese “husbands”. Perhaps in Wigneswaran’s myopic worldview, eighty million Tamils in Tamil Nadu may be just “neighbours”, but to Eelam Tamils they are cousins, family. And, when they see one of their own being egregiously violated in an abusive relationship, they recoil with natural instinct and seek decree nisi –or divorce.] Tamil  Diaspora Activist at https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/the-perverse-domestic-arrangements-of-colombo-wigneswaran/

The article was published in September 2013. But our attention was drawn to it yesterday through Tamil Araichchi group. To me it is a Mother’s Day call.

My question is where were these Eighty Million Tamils when Indonesia unjustly killed a Tamil – Myuran Sukumaran?  In fact where was the Tamil Eelam Diaspora when Myuran’s Rights to live were denied?  Australians overwhelmingly demonstrated that feeling of Oneness for Myuran. But where were the above mentioned Eelam Tamil women when Raji – Myuran’s mother needed their vote in support ? Of what good are these professional titles when they were not used to raise the status of a community member in trouble?

Myuran also demonstrated he was Australian. This confirms that the Eelam Tamil Diaspora is very local and works for its own survival. If it were global – through Myuran, it would have fought for the rights of LTTE who engaged in similar acts and earned Terrorism label from external governments. Those who fight for ‘Common’ rights – would have not hesitated to dilute the damage to our Community through such labels.

We do not always follow the law of the land. But if we are true to ourselves – we are not sinners. Until that happens – we cannot get released from Natural karmic punishments, even if we got high grades through the laws of the land. We naturally reward and punish ourselves through the Universal path of Truth.  If we do it of our own free will – we are free of the karmic returns. Myuran paid his dues  of his own free will. Hence his mind will continue to live with all those who recognized him as part of  themselves. The body will perish anyway. Raising the mind beyond the physical and the intellectual determines whether we have led a successful life. Yes, Myuran’s life as a total has been successful. Even though the Indonesians killed his body – the mind serves all those to whom Myuran became real family through their feelings.  

The writer states about Mr. Wigneswaran – the Chief Minister of Northern Province of Sri Lanka:

[What he conveniently forgets to mention is that young Tamil women, who had no appetite to be  tied in an abusive marital bond with the Sinhala supremacist state, martyred themselves in the their thousands to win their freedom. And, Eelam Tamils got “hit” long before Tamil Nadu politicians started standing up for them and would have been totally and utterly ethnically cleansed if not for them!]

As per my knowledge, based on direct sharing with parents of  Tiger Women – a large proportion of ‘Black Tiger’ section of the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) were females. Yet – at the leadership level – proportionate representation was lacking.

In 2003, when I worked with the LTTE – through a UNDP project – the young guy who was distributing documents did not give me a set but handed one out to each of the males on either side of me. During the meeting – I complained about this to Chairman Mr. Joy Maheswaran – who on a one-to-one basis – did demonstrate respect for women.  But Mr. Maheswaran as chairman failed to address the point. The official head of the Women’s wing – Ms Thamilini said she would look into the matter but that did not go further. But I learnt that LTTE were using women as ‘servants’ and not as ‘shareholders’. If Racial Equality was important to the LTTE then gender Equality also would have been. If gender Equality was important to the LTTE – they would have addressed that issue then and there when they had the opportunity – through this ‘woman’ who fought in Australia for her earned leadership as a profession. Mr. Balakumar of EROS - Eelam Revolutionary Organisation of Students – showed recognition – due to common belief in Nallur Murugan.

I therefore do not identify with the above claim that ‘young Tamil women, who had no appetite to be  tied in an abusive marital bond with the Sinhala supremacist state, martyred themselves in the their thousands to win their freedom’

Most of these women did not know Sinhalese. Their knowledge was from the male leadership most of which also did not live with Sinhalese.  The male leadership ‘told’ these women what to do. The women of LTTE were the parallels of Tamil civil servants working under Sinhalese leadership. They were no freedom fighters. To be independently grouped as ‘freedom-fighters’ there ought to have been separation of powers between the two groups concerned – the males and females. The Basis existed/s  within the Thesawalamai Law – through which male inherits from male side and female from female side. The practice of Dowry within the Tamil community confirms this separation and equality. Unless therefore there was a separate structure within the LTTE for women – which ran parallel to that of the men – there could have been no separate identity for women or their achievements. They died as servants of male leadership and not as Equal Shareholders.

Once the mind is lowered to blindly follow – there is no validity to Equality through separation. Once the Tamil mind was lowered through majority force – there was no validity to claim of Racial Equality. Sathya Graham as practiced by our Tamil elders – did demonstrate that Equality – as per our assessment. Not so the armed power through which the mind of ordinary citizens were lowered and then one was required to applaud the cleverness of such armed leaders!

The way I see it – LTTE lowered the minds of civilian Tamils and in turn their minds were lowered by Indian Tamil Politicians. As for which came first – it is like chicken and egg – with  LTTE being  the egg.  Truth and Common Belief will bring us the support we need any time anywhere.  This therefore will keep happening whenever either the chicken or the egg is in need of support. But in terms of human structures – it is far better for Sri Lankan Tamils to uphold their Equal status under Sri Lankan structure than to play second fiddle to  Tamil Nadu politicians. As Sri Lankan Tamils – we would be equal to not only Sinhalese but also Indian Tamils. Why would I give up either for lesser status?

Sowing Autocracy and Expecting to Reap Democracy?

Sri Lankans are sharing experiences and ideas towards Parliamentary Elections. One such sharing included Island article ‘Let us get ready’ by Father J C Pieris of Galle. The article is largely in praise of the current leadership and condemning the previous one. But what about the voters themselves? Have we earned enough shareholdings to influence the government on continuous  basis – through natural and invisible communications? The success of a democracy is felt  through this natural communication of experiences and discoveries bottom-up to the Government. We often practice reverse autocracy and praise ourselves that we are democratic. Father Pieris highlights this as follows:

[I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE WHO ALREADY HAS A RELATIVE OR A FAMILY MEMBER IN THE PRESIDENCY, THE PARLIAMENT OR THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.]

Families are usually subjective in their management. They carry on with old ways – and when the juniors think they do not need the seniors any more they ‘separate’. When this happens at family level – it spreads to Community level and onto National level. At national level when the separated units seek to show that they are better than their seniors/parents they are labeled ‘rebels’. But these ‘rebels’ did not appear all of a sudden at the national level. Their families groomed them consciously  or subconsciously. How do we become Dictatorial at family level?

The  three main political leaders concerned with the Sri Lankan Parliamentary Elections are:

His Excellency Maithripala Sirisena

Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa

The Hon Ranil Wickremesinghe

Their ages are 63, 69 and 66 respectively. As per my knowledge, the official Retirement Age for Sri Lankan Public Officers is 55 for men and 50 for women with possible extensions of 5 years. All of the above three are above this maximum of 60.  This is fine so long as they are NOT active in Administration but are sharing their wisdom in Governance through those positions. In other words they need to be Governance facilities that every  citizen would access by genuinely seeking.  When we are truly self-governing, we share that wisdom naturally with all seekers. We do not need to consciously and expressly connect to the other person.

Often when parents seek to be active in Administration even after their children get married – they groom rebellion or servitude.

In business one could travel parallel with juniors but in Professional Leadership  the senior has to become governor once the junior is ready to be the Administrative leader.  Many parts of Australian Public Service changed over to ‘Business-Unit’ approach in recognition of Equal partnership. The Central Administrative Unit – needed to become more a facility and therefore part of the Governing Councils.  It needed to be the Spirit of Administrative Service. In some parts of Australian Public Service I managed to successfully complete the restructuring of MY SERVICES – by remaining within. At the University of New South Wales – I had to come outside to complete MY SERVICES. That was also my contribution to true Democracy in Australia. Given that I completed the experience through the Australian system – the value will naturally surface for governance purposes – as it did for the Bali 9 leaders also to elevate the value of their life to the higher level.  

Once we provide service at governance level – the Power is always there for us. We would feel empowered by all other governors in that area – even though they may not be physically present there due to death of their body (time based absence) or due to place/position  based distance. Without this value we would not be conducting Memorial Services nor celebrate Anniversaries. We would be merely trading as per the reality of our environment. The success of  Memorial Service is identified with  when we connect to those minds without needing to expressly communicate. Where we think we need express pathways we need Administration. As per the official standards set by the Sri Lankan Government -  for the citizen – Mr. Rajapaksa who has demonstrated that he needs to be active and showing results to his followers – ought to have retired in 2005. But Mr. Rajapaksa became more active after he became President at that age of 60. Hence he became an example of ‘Do as I say and not as I do’ leadership.

Governance is the soul of Leadership. Our  identification with the soul needs to happen at the highest possible level – so that the structures and systems established naturally through our conduct would serve long and wide. But where we discover that we cannot reliably expect just returns for our contributions – we need to record our side at that highest level and then complete the experience. The value recognized by us at that point of completion is the Truth of that system as discovered by us. Giving  recognition to that limit – is also part of good governance. We then facilitate Truth known to us, above any Administrative system and are facilitated by Truth known to others. That is a natural sharing.

The Bali 9 tragedy of killing those who had paid their dues – is an outstanding example of lack of Governance value in leadership. Indonesia’s retirement age is listed as 58.  With only 5 more years to reach that limit – one would expect Mr. Widodo to not need Political Promises to earn that position.  A true governor would have given preference to Clemency over Physical punishment when s/he knew that the offender had transformed. Even if one Indonesian had felt that the offenders were no longer guilty – a true Indonesian Governor would have heard and delivered as per that citizen. It is the moral duty of every Governor to do so. Instead Politics was directly applied to kill lives.

That is bound to happen again and again when Politics is accepted as Governance by the citizen. We may not even vote expressly -  but when we are true governors – our power would work through those positions – from either side. Then voting at election time is only a formality.  Without self-governance at the level of the citizen – the vote is driven by likes and dislikes and becomes reverse autocracy.

We would be fooling ourselves if we sow autocracy and expect to reap democracy.

Arali Amman

Vallukai Aru of Jaffna

River for Jaffna – Program or Project?

As per 06 May news reports Australian Government on behalf of Australia said through our Minister for  Immigration and Border Protection – the Hon Peter Dutton, ‘that there is significant decline in people smuggling in SL’. This confirms the feelings I myself have about the urge felt at grassroots level ‘to stay at home’ and earn money and live with dignity of earned income rather than take handouts. This is Australian success story.

Today’s mail included one against the British Prime Minister – the Hon David Cameron and reminding us about an old article in Daily FT that included the following:

 ‘Funding for the British ruling coalition partner the Conservative party and the slavishness of British Prime Minister David Cameron to the Tamil Diaspora has been exposed by a Tamil language website ‘Athirvu’. The website points out that Sri Lankan born Subaskaran Allirajah the founder and owner of British telephone company Lycamobile, is the 2nd largest provider of funds to the Conservative Party and hence David Cameron acts as a stooge of the Tamil Diaspora and against the Sri Lankan Government.’

Money is temporary power when it happens for superficial reasons. Both the LTTE and the Rajapaksa Government fell due to their desire for unearned money. Those who follow either side without renouncing all money related credits through these leaderships – would limit themselves to temporary wins. Truth once established never dies. Truth empowers the place, time and the person/s who caused It to be established. The first lesson we Sri Lankans need to learn from the war is that voting rights should not be sold for money. Vote we must. If there are threats to the physical – we must vote mentally and make it so deep that Truth will influence through the minds of those who are not physically threatened. This I believe is what happened in the 2015 Presidential Elections. This power must not be diluted by money which when the purpose is at the surface level,  separates. The separation is not limited to ethnicity basis.  Beyond a point, it becomes separation between the Government and the Citizen.

The above article continues to state ‘The website disclosed that Subaskaran is the one who is funding the British Conservative Party and points out that he gave 420,000 sterling pounds to the Conservative Party as one time donation. It says that he has given over 20 million to the Prince Charles Foundation as well. The website says that David Cameroon’s visit to Jaffna and his statements against the Sri Lankan Government were made on the behest of Subaskaran. It points out that Cameroon’s Jaffna visit was facilitated by Gnanam Foundation established by Subaskaran in Jaffna to steer their Anti-Sri Lankan Government activities’

When it comes to Development work in Jaffna my concerns are activated and I need to do what I can to maintain the balance between costs and benefits. Towards this we need to ensure that the money we control is either inherited or earned. This applies to both sides – receipts as well as payments.  We are currently engaged in a Legal battle because my husband and I feel that this ‘easy-money’ syndrome is threatening our family also. As per my observations the welfare recipients in Sri Lanka – have a duty to vote to the provider of welfare and therefore are NOT free  to vote as individuals – unless such welfare is processed through Transparent Government Facilities – as if free good stamps etc. Many so-called professionals cease to realize completion due to their distraction with money.  This as per my observations is common to both Universities I have invested in – the University of NSW and the University of Jaffna. Below is a communication with a Sinhalese Diaspora Group in this regard:

A Global Academic to a Sinhala Nationalist in relation to River for Jaffna :

[If you are really interested in a technical and scientific dialogue on this please contact the Jaffna academics.]

Gaja: ‘I do feel strongly that this engagement is not that easy,  given the average contribution made by Engineers to social issues. They either ‘avoid’  discussions about social conflicts – as most engineers known to me do or they join the political bandwagon to entertain their minds.  At the primary level of social interaction – one has the tendency to take credit when the outcomes are ‘right’ and when they are wrong to blame the outsider in the group. At the secondary level – one is logical.  At the tertiary level – one takes total responsibility. Hence – the Hindu message that we are the service providers as well as beneficiaries. One who has achieved this height – as I believe Lord  Buddha did – that mind is still with wisdom that any believer could draw on. The challenges to raising our work to that level are greater now than they were before the war. At the same time – the war has pushed us to live close to our natural environments and their reality. The two factors from your response of this nature that I construct as per my  lay mind are:

1.      […. it is part of the concept as a means of augmentation of this suggested confluence. Seasonal overspill is considered insufficient by the Jaffna academics because the vast surface area of this proposed confluence will result in considerable evaporation given the semi arid, dry climate of the peninsula.

2.      Furthermore they fear saline intrusion through the porous composite soil fabric of the peninsula.]

The above two are due to their corporate wisdom in this part of the nation.  They are particular to this geographic area.

Then there are the higher common factors you have mentioned:

3.      damaging effects of environmental, ecological and traditional livelihoods of the significant Karaiar population. 

Dr. Ratnajeevan Hoole who is highly critical of the Vellala domination in Jaffna University – would be a good contributor to addressing this part of the challenge.

There is however a third dimension that could be identified with but is not directly controllable by this generation engineers and active participants. That is the Heritage value  – which when surfaced could be positive or negative / Puniyam or Paavam / Virtues of Sins/Genes the participants carry. Like in marriage – we need to find the partnership that would negate a negative at the value level.  When as a group the negative genes become dormant – we are ready for positive service. Otherwise we are likely to add to the already existing political turmoil in Sri Lanka.

Many Tamil Political leaders are claiming that we are two nations one country.  Where we are not able to find enough matches to diffuse the negative genes – we would have greater harmony through this separation of powers. But then there are some of us – especially true professionals who naturally access each other’s mind – at the higher level. It is like Love at first sight. Just yesterday I had such an experience here in Jaffna High Court. Given the reality of  Jaffna due to the war,  I have been experiencing difficulty engaging a lawyer to present our case. Like the Academics of the University of Jaffna – the average lawyer in Jaffna wants to do it his way. (The ones we engaged are males).  As a person who has practiced the law through Administration – I often presented the matter at that higher level – as is my duty to the Administrative structures.  Hence I structured my experience  as per  the Civil  Procedure Code for Process and Thesawalamai for substance. At the Mallakam Courts I was disciplined by the judge for ‘street’ behavior – along the lines of XX in this group. I could not get a copy of the Order by the Judge as soon as it was delivered, due to this negative ‘genes’ of separation by lawyers from society.  But I got working from the summary as conveyed by our legal attorney. I arranged independently for the copy of the Order to be collected and emailed to me through someone who believes that I contributed strongly to his development. He is of Nalavar (Toddy Tapper) caste by birth and is a self-employed tailor in addition to working as a driver at the Local Council . He became my instrument to deliver and have the documents filed.  About 4 days before the due date I received the email copy of the order and restructured my Appeal documents to give particular reference to the Judgment and thus to the contribution of the Judge. We tried to obtain a copy of the format  in which to submit the matter in the Appeal Court but we could not get one because only lawyers are allowed into the registry.   I am a self-represented litigant in the Australian system and I have been commended many a time by opposition lawyers for completing the paper work as per the requirements of the Court Administration.  At that level – the Courts are also Part of Public Administration. The separation of powers start when it comes to interpretation of legislation specific to the issue at which lawyers are specialists as engineers are in the water issue’s technical aspect. So I used the Supreme Court of New South Wales template to structure the matter. The Registry staff had difficulty with that format but due to their ‘service’ attitude they obtained the approval of the Judge and accepted the documents.  Yesterday  when the matter came before the Court for mention – the Judge asked me a few questions to identify whether I was the author or whether I had submitted someone else’s work as mine. I felt the Judge was more than satisfied that I was the original owner.  Then the Judge included me and stated that the Registrar had noted some deficiencies and gave me time to rectify the deficiencies.  I agreed. I picked up the message also that the Judge recognized order in that presentation and yet – he had to order a modified application – to suit the local ‘mental templates’. Like you that Judge also was highly civilized in his approach and respectful of both – local as well as global needs. Unlike in Mallakam Courts – there was respect for my contribution also – after the Judge put me through his own ‘eligibility test’.  A big part of the reason is that the Judge is from Colombo.’

Global Academic to a Sinhala Nationalist:

 [If you are really interested in a technical and scientific dialogue on this please contact the Jaffna academics]

Gaja: Like Jaffna Lawyers – XX is also a local who is attached to his local Southern reality – living off the past of that part of the land – now converted to  majority power. Given that there is no standard national template – even though we have a Uniform Procedures Code – if XX presented his knowledge to Jaffna Engineers of  the standard known to me – they would reject it as unsuitable  - as Mallakam Courts set aside our Affidavit without giving any reason.  That affidavit is the instrument through which we presented our experience to support  the belief based claims we made through the common path of law. Once that was set aside the rest of the hearing became unlawful.  But attachment to the physical would take such shortcuts to hold on to power. During LTTE era we did exactly what the Sinhalese Politicians did. LTTE sought to dismiss the Political leaders driven by their intellectual following  – to become military leaders.  They said to the Sinhalese who used military/weapons instead of Puthi / Intellectual discrimination  ‘what you can do – we can do better’. They allowed themselves to be led by Indian Tamils and this contributed strongly to the death of Rajiv Gandhi.

When Northern engineers join forces with Southern engineers – at the technical level – we would have a situation similar to the above – with Southerners being the parallels of Indian Tamils.

On the legal admin side – I propose to submit my suggestions to  the Judicial Services Commission. But in the meantime – at social level – the Nallavar Community here  are already using the values learnt in regards to Dowry system and are finding greater family harmony between sons and fathers.

This could be achieved with stronger outcomes in Water Program also.  That which is ongoing needs to go on  as Program – without a known beginning or known end.  These are usually the social aspects of the issue. That which is technical needs to be on project basis – towards allocation of merit and blame through the Accountability system.’

The only river in Jaffna as known to me is Valukkai Aru – which starts in Thellippalai, runs through Vaddukoddai the area where Political Independence was declared in 1976 and ends in Arali – my paternal ancestral village.  Places of  Sanctity such as Arali Amman Temple close to the path of this Jaffna River are the true forces that support every believer.  Water being one of the natural elements – one needs to pay one’s respects to Natural formations as the foundations for any lasting development to satisfy wider investors. Likewise Voting Rights in Politics.

Australian Federal Police and the Rights of Australian Citizens

The Sri Lankan Community of which Bali 9 Leader Myuran Sukumaran was a part at least due to his birth in Sri Lanka, has also been looking into the Death Penalty issue – through various angles. The 2009 Battle related deaths largely of Tamils killed by the official armed forces was also Death Penalty for Tamil Tigers and the Community who lived in that area. These Tamils did not have a hearing. Previously when the Indian Peace Keeping Forces killed Tamils – it was worse – because  the Protector turned Perpetrator. This happens when the matter is brought down to political and business levels.

Today’s Sydney Morning Herald Report under the heading ‘Bali 9 executions: the mystery Australian Federal Police cop who took a stand’ reports as follows:

[According to Deputy Commissioner Mike Phelan, who spoke of his agonising decision to hand over information that eventually led to the deaths of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, the "vast majority" of AFP officers involved supported this call. Not doing so would potentially have allowed the drug smugglers to go free and eight kilograms of heroin to hit the streets. 

But at least one officer disagreed.

"I can remember at least one occasion at the time where a request was made by one of the investigators in Brisbane to come off the team," Phelan said. "[The officer] was not comfortable with us dealing with a death penalty situation.

"I didn't even ask the investigator's name. I just said 'no problem'."]

If Deputy Commissioner Mike Phelan said ‘no problem’ – then the question needs to be asked as to whether that was a lawful decision. If that was lawful – then it would have also been quite in order NOT to handover the information to  Indonesian Officers. If no-participation decision  was through discretionary powers then the decision about information was also taken through such powers. That is the power of Governance that every one of us has when acting beyond the law and outside legal boundaries.   

But then by stating ‘the "vast majority" of AFP officers involved supported this call’ Deputy Commissioner Mike Phelan is confessing to have used the primary level voting system to make the decision to share information of National significance. In that case the application to opt out also should have been put to the vote – conscience vote – of the whole institution . It was not within the Jurisdiction of the Deputy Commissioner to assess through majority vote below his level of authority nor his governance vote of One through discretionary powers. That kind of basis would apply only if Mr. Phelan decided to resign from his position. If this is not covered by the rules of AFP – then that is a serious problem affecting all Australians. That would have prevented the agony of the AFP officers concerned also – in the knowledge that they were doing their duty as per the Law rather than making conscience decisions at that stage.

When the Australian Federal Magistrates Court heard my complaint against the NSW Police who according to my assessment acted in breach of the law to obey the orders of the Vice Chancellor of the University of NSW, I  could have drilled the junior officer who listed me as Sri Lankan – towards a  cheap win. That would have been sledging. But I refused to react at that level – as per their assessment of my status..  I sought changes to Policy -  where juniors would not be left to their own mind structures in deciding whether one was guilty or not. In that case the Police Officers had no knowledge, leave alone understanding,  of the particular section of the legislation  they ‘thought’ would justify their actions. Had there been firm guidelines in relation to Peaceful Assembly – those Junior Officers would not have acted in breach of the Law. If Indonesian judgment was deficient due to cultural differences based on geographical positioning – the judgement of the NSW Police was deficient due to generation gap – between the law makers of 1901 and the appliers in 2004 who demonstrated no respect for those elders nor knowledge of the legislation for practical purposes..

Vast Majority in our Police  Forces are in their jobs for economic reasons. Some are in it also for status. Only a few are in it for Service. The ‘Service’ component is the authority for use of discretionary powers. When it comes to sharing information beyond Australian borders – the decision maker needed to have invested in this Service Component through Global Principles and Values and not just Australian. Truth personal to that person renders Universal authority so long as one acts in the conscious of that Truth and that Truth alone. That person must show clear separation between position based thought process and decision on that basis on the one hand  and Truth based identity on the other.

‘At the primary level – we consider ourselves as separate individuals. At the secondary level we become relatives through various group structures. At tertiary level we feel One – with others being different parts of that Oneness. To the extent we provide service to the needy we invest in this Oneness even when there are no returns from those serviced.  When we accept the ‘no return’ situation – we raise the experience to that tertiary level where it exists as Eternal Energy. That completeness is Bliss.’ Beyond Consciousness

Deputy Commissioner Mike Phelan stated that his decision to handover  information was to protect Australians from drug related damage. He did not state that his decision was to ‘share’ information to prevent drug related damage. Deputy Commissioner Phelan was being honest about the basis. But that does not make it a Just decision that all of us are entitled to. It was a decision as per Australian Police Practice. It resulted in  handing over 9 Australians to Indonesians for the latter  to get the credit and elevate their own status as eliminators of drug  traders.  Could it have been influenced by the ‘gap’ between the reality of Australian Police who is prone to Public scrutiny more than Indonesian Police, and the ideal Guardian that most Police Officers would dream of becoming - to keep themselves motivated?

Every Government, relative to the citizen,  has the higher authority to interpret the law as per her/his institutional mind. But where there is no law covering our thoughts – we are Equal individuals and unless we feel that the other is a part of us – we do not have the moral authority to judge and/or to punish. If we do – the karma returns to us for limiting ourselves to the seen and the known.

We may be drug addicts and/or  we may be murderers or even terrorists. As per the system of Natural Justice we would be punished by our own selves through our own conscience. External agencies could facilitate  that process. The main duty of the external agencies is to prevent damage to others. But this cannot be done from a higher position by someone who has claimed a position of authority through our own voting system. Through the voting system we share  our belief and therefore an individual voter cannot be lower than the individual Administrator. The Government of Australia of which AFP is a part, would know through its own conscience that it failed the believing citizen. If they do not own this weakness – they would not be able to protect themselves and all those who are in their care from the effects of their own weaknesses.

I was yesterday  asked the following question:

[Since you are against death penalty can you let us know what kind of punishment you would propose for a convicted hardcore criminal or a convicted narcotic drug trafficker or rapist and murderer?  (I am not referring to drug addicts - who can be rehabilitated - or those blackmailed, forced or deceived into committing a crime). ]

I responded as follows through a question and answer session:

[First of all the hard-core criminals need to have been tried through a reliable judicial system.   If the system is known to be unreliable – the punishment needs to be discounted at that rate of weakness. The alternative to my mind is for a jury to hear the matter. Once the person is found guilty – the punishment would be proportionate to discounted or weighted  average of the demonstrated  pain and loss of the common politician with the power to make laws in that country/state and is able to escape punishment through use of subjective powers…………….One size does not fit all. The punishment I would consider appropriate would be relative to the punishment law makers of a country/ state undertake on themselves and those structurally close to them.  It is based on the principle that where I do not punish myself as per the laws I make – I do not have the authority to punish another. It’s when we punish others as we would punish ourselves  that  we have the blessings of Natural Justice in punishing through Administrative and Judicial pathways.  

You ask: Is it imprisonment for 30 or more years? –

The same crime would earn different numbers of years in Sri Lanka vis a vis Australia. The latter’s is likely to be less due to higher level of practice of law by the citizen on voluntary basis which is strongly influenced by  the investment made in the Objective system of assessment which a country of migrants needs.

You ask: Imprisonment for life? –

Where we are Spiritual – as we tend to be in Sri Lanka more than in Australia – Imprisonment could help a person discard external influences and start looking within. This is a kind of meditation process. Then only the body is in prison. The mind is liberated – as I feel happened to some members of the Bali 9 group. I would therefore seek frequent assessments and once the person confirms a still mind I would release the body – so others could benefit through interactions with this person.

You ask: Penal servitude? Lashes? Confiscation of property? –

Like external medication  - these are outer forms that are more for shows by those who lack deep investment in Justice.

………..

You seem to have a fixed outcome in your mind as per YOUR values.  There was no need to ask me for mine if it did not cover my value system.  You asked and I wrote my independent mind in response.  To you I am beating about the bush. You cannot then be a true Buddhist.

You state [Remember that it is not possible to rehabilitate each and every criminal.]

First of all you need to be conscious of the fact that you cannot catch each and every criminal. Your actions need to  facilitate each and every individual in your care to either not become a criminal or if s/he becomes one as per her/his assessment – to discipline her/himself before the irrevocable effects start happening.

You state also [Therefore, releasing such persons from prison after a period of time - unless they are in their dotage - means endangering lives of law-abiding citizens.]

What about all those offenders you never caught ?  They cause the confidence of the Public in the Law enforcement agencies to be seriously damaged.  In a democracy – the preferred pathway is self-transformation. This is what happened to the Bali 9 leaders through their family and community support. The Law enforcement agencies missed out on that Divine sharing.  I reinforce the following in my earlier response:

‘Where we are Spiritual – as we tend to be in Sri Lanka more than in Australia – Imprisonment could help a person discard external influences and start looking within. This is a kind of meditation process. Then only the body is in prison. The mind is liberated – as I feel happened to some members of the Bali 9 group. I would therefore seek frequent assessments and once the person confirms a still-mind I would release the body – so others could benefit through interactions with this person.’

To my mind, you are yet to transcend to the service level and hence your private thoughts  do not add value.

This is also my judgment delivered to the Australian Federal Police. 

Gajalakshmi Paramasivam – 04 May  2015

Justice System

India v Indonesia

Today we celebrate Vesak – as the day Lord Buddha attained Nirvana. Today is also the day when our Brother who was living in Yoga Swami Ashram in Vanni, Northern Sri Lanka,  died in a refugee camp – after being displaced with fellow elders in that Home for the aged. Our Brother  was not Buddha but he also believed in God and hence was at the Yoga Swami Home. To the extent of his belief in Higher Natural Powers – our brother had some similarity with  Buddha.

04 May  is the birthday of my cousin Chitra Sanmugarajah Srikhanta whose relationship with us  has been close through more than one generation and carries heritage through more family strands than one. On 04 May 2009 – when I rang to wish cousin Chitra – and there was no response – I thought something was amiss. Then the picture of  Subramanya Swami of Hawaii – a disciple of Yoga Swami – fell to the ground.  I thought it was not a good omen and I was even more concerned – because Subramanya Swami was a ballet teacher before Swami devoted his life fully to Spiritual activities, and my cousin Chitra is also a Bharathanaatyam Dance teacher. Bharathanaatyam is a heritage from Dancing Shiva – the Hindu personification of   Energy of all forms. I kept trying and finally reached cousin Chitra and was relieved to hear that my cousin was well. Later in the day however, our nephew Senthil rang to share that his father had passed away in the Chettikulam camp. I then realized that the above message was about that loss and came from Yoga Swami Spirit.

Now, years later due to my experience with Bali 9 leader Myuran Sukumaran – I realize that it was confirmation that Lord Shiva – the Lord of the Mind to Whom we pray for liberation of the Soul – was receiving our Brother back into His folds. I had the experience of feeling the presence of Lord Vairavar – our family Deity and  the Protective Form of Lord Shiva at 2.30 a.m. on 29 April 2015. Given that my mind was immersed with the Bali 9 issue – I felt  that it was about Myuran. Later I learnt through news reports that Myuran was executed at 3.30 a.m.  But I feel that at 2.30 a.m. Myuran was already with the Lord.  Later I learnt that the group left for the execution site at 2.30 a.m. Representatives of the Indonesian President flogged the dead body. Since I was seeking I found the connection that would satisfy my mind.

To some these may be superstitious connections.  To them the Resurrection of Jesus also would be superstitious. Those driven by majority votes to make higher decisions are superstitious and those who believe in the Sovereignty of the individual are Governors. Both would look similar at the physical level but the latent power of the Governor is exponential. Likewise, executions of the bodies of the liberated and those yet to be liberated.  The Liberated mind is there for all those who facilitated the liberation. Those who opposed it – keep the real punishment of injustice in their system.

There are Rajapaksas & Sirisenas in the minds of Sri Lankan voters and governors. The voter sees the leader as a separate entity to her/himself.  The Governor identifies with the leader through her/himself in that position.

A voter who to my mind, has more Rajapaksa (former President of Sri Lanka) than Sirisena (Current President of Sri Lanka) responded to my article ‘The Fallacy of National Sovereignty’ by forwarding the following write-up about those who killed Indian Leader Rajiv Gandhi:

The sender seems to have had a different purpose of motivation to that of mine – the receiver. But knowingly or otherwise this Sinhalese has connected to my deeper mind – about the relative positions India and Indonesia took in the issue of Clemency.

In the case of Rajiv Gandhi Assassination – the above were pardoned and the death penalty was not executed. To my mind this was because Spiritual India investigated more deeply than did Indonesia to find out ‘WHY’.  The deeper the ‘WHY’ investigations until they lead to our share of responsibility – the stronger the home-grown solutions. Until this level is reached,  one does not have powers to punish or pardon above the law applicable to that person.

In relation to the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination inquiry, it is reported:

[Investigation Immediately after the assassination, the Chandrasekhar government handed the investigation over to CBI on May 24, 1991. The agency created a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under D R Karthikeyan to determine who was responsible for the assassination. The SIT probe confirmed the role of LTTE in the assassination, which was upheld by the Supreme Court of India.

The interim report of Justice Milap Chand Jain, looking into the conspiracy angle to the assassination, indicted the DMK for colluding with the LTTE. The report concluded that DMK provided sanctuary to the LTTE, which made it easy for the rebels to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi. Jain commission also reported doubt about Subramanian Swami's dealings. It says CBI has to investigate him for foreign connections angle in the assassination. It cast doubt why he was suddenly cancelling his pre-settled programme of going to Delhi from Madras and without any information to his colleagues and stayed in Madras on May 21, 1991. 

The Commission report stated that the year 1989 signified "the perpetuation of the general political trend of indulging the Tamil militants on Indian soil and tolerance of their wide-ranging criminal and anti-national activities." The report also alleged that LTTE leaders in Jaffna were in possession of sensitive coded messages exchanged between the Union government and the state government of DMK. "There is evidence to show that, during this period, some of the most vital wireless messages were passed between the LTTE operatives based in Tamil Nadu and Jaffna. These messages, which were decoded later, are directly related to the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi," the report stated. The Congress subsequently brought down the United Front (UF) government of I K Gujral after the report was leaked in November 1998. The party also demanded the removal of DMK from the UF government, arguing that it had played a key role in the death of Rajiv Gandhi.

After examining the SIT investigation report, Justice Verma Commission report and the Jain Commission report, one can conclude that the assassination was not a hit-and-run affair but a meticulously planned operation that involved actors beyond the LTTE - ]Wikipedia

The Bali 9 group are the parallels of the LTTE in the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination. Those who were ‘caught’ in action – were pardoned in the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination – and to my mind this was because of the deeper inquiry undertaken by the Indian system strongly influenced by the Spirit of the issue. The investigations through Jain Commission of Inquiry based on which the Supreme Court made its decision – indicated foreign (in particular Israeli) involvement. Reports surfaced as to how the Israeli system trained both sides to the Sri Lankan war. This would happen only when one wants to make business out of war. The deeper the inquiry the stronger the solution.

Where majority connections between the outcomes and their sources are identified with – then the Spiritual component is not as significant as when majority outcomes are not connected to their causes. The latter is the space of Spiritual workers. Those lacking in belief would have very little room in this area and hence they would conclude as per the seen, the heard and the known. Their decisions / judgments would lack depth and strength to serve wider society. I believe that my deeper inquiry led me to the following discovery about how Tamil Belief is working the National system – despite Tamils being a minority power in Sri Lanka, in terms of numbers:

[I identify with  the plight of Tamil Political Leadership in Sri Lanka,  which is also experiencing  this difficulty of not being heard  by majority fellow members in parliament. So long as we genuinely take the Equal other side – we continue to be the natural opposition needed to prevent dictatorships. When there are two equal and opposite forces – there is natural primary level administration. In Sri Lankan Parliament – Tamils became this Natural Equal Opposition Power even though we are a minority in terms of numbers. The genuine contribution by Tamils and other minority races – which were not recognized by those in positions of power at the National level – did not get ‘lost’. They were raised naturally to ownership level – and hence from time to time manifestations of those powers through Common outcomes through processes such as voting that one would expect produce outcomes confirming majority power . The 1977 Parliamentary elections in which Tamils became the Equal Opposition in Parliament  and more recently in the 2015 Presidential elections through which the Rajapaksa regime was defeated due to Tamil votes – are two outstanding examples of powers getting  raised to leadership level, when the contribution is genuine. The Rajapaksa regime celebrated victory without mourning the loss of civilian lives. But every civilian death raised the power against the Government whose actions killed civilians and empowered the community / communities  that these victims were/are  a part of. To that is added the contributions of those who believed that they were fighting for independence. Where this Belief is/was deeper than the Belief of the soldier that s/he is protecting the nation from Terrorism – then the real win is for that deeper believer whose contributions get raised to ownership level which from time to time manifest  ‘Acts of God’.

Tamil leaders and leaders of other minority groups, who seek to accuse the Sri Lankan Government by ‘showing’ more than they feel – and raise the expectations of victims – dilute this latent power for their community. The quiet acceptor of reality – beyond her/his ability to raise the issue to the public level – is the real winner who wins the prize of ownership. This is a permanent place in that group/nation.

They say that the value of higher powers is greater than the sum of the individuals. To the extent minorities keep competing with majority to ‘show’ outcomes and /or to recruit more numbers – they miss out on the opportunity to invest in this latent power. The 2015 Presidential Elections confirm that God has delivered judgment.  Those who continue to seek to show – would not identify with this higher power and therefore get distracted by lesser values than nationalism.  ] Beyond Consciousness

Wikipedia picture of the Cow who sought Justice

The Fallacy of National Sovereignty

International  Laws could not save us Australians  from Indonesia’s Injustice, nor could Political influence. Our former Prime Minister the Hon Gough Whitlam said about the then Governor General ‘Well may we say ‘God save the Queen’ because nothing will save the Governor General’.  In terms of  Common Values the Execution of Bali 9 leaders is parallel to the 1975 Dismissal of the Australian Prime Minister by the Governor General.  In that case the Governor General allowed himself to be influenced by a Politician. In the case of Bali 9 leaders the Indonesian President whose position includes the position of Governor-General was influenced by the Politician in him. Hence the miscarriage of Justice.  There is little point in fighting against Death Penalty without recognizing the Dignity that flows due to the intrinsic  Sovereignty of Human Life. Sometimes it is more painful for all concerned where the individual concerned continues  living with a lowered / depressed mind, instead of accepting death  with a high liberated mind. My comfort came from my feeling that even if these young guys had been shown Clemency by the Indonesian President – their life in prison would not have been easy for all concerned including the prisoners themselves. Our own Australian Sovereignty would have been imprisoned in Indonesia. As a mother I would have also wanted my child to live as long as possible. But as an individual who has paid my dues – I would rather die with dignity of my Sovereignty than live as a dependent of a Politician dependent on votes. I invested in Sovereignty and I believe that that Sovereignty would work for me and also for anyone who has belief in me. By raising the experience to the higher level of liberation – these young Australians have added great value to Australia, to their Communities and Families. The lower mind dies with the body. The higher mind lives beyond the body.

 Part of that belief in Sovereignty is developed through Family, Community and Nation through its official structures. But once we discover the Truth through these structures – that Truth is our Guide. We need the approval of that Truth to restructure our systems. The investment we made through Andrew and Myuran are investments we Australians made in our own Sovereignty – to release It from the dictates of Indonesian leadership when they played the role of Australian Leaders in breach of Doctrine of Separation of Powers.

Most investors in Democracy and Diversity appreciate that there needs to be Separation of Powers between the Executive and the Judiciary – Management and Auditor. One is a maker of the outcome and the other awards rights and wrongs based on the outcomes produced. When a Judge produces her/his own outcomes – then that separation has been breached.

I am currently in Northern Sri Lanka advising a community here about the workings of the system of Dowry as per the laws of Thesawalamai – the Customary Law that confirms our Independence and Diversity. To the extent we practice this Customary Law we as a Community maintain our Sovereignty. But it is important that we practice it with respect to the original discoverers and previous investors in this system. In essence – there is separation between Man & Wife as per the laws of  Thesawalamai. Their duties were different - as it is between the Executive Government and the Judiciary. Hence the pathways through which wealth was inherited were also different. Man inherited from Father’s side and Wife inherited from Mother’s side. Without these values – the inheritance has only surface value. The inheritance would work for those to whom a place is their ‘home’. Hence Homelands of Sovereignty. Surface users are not able to access this deeper power and have the higher ‘Home’ experience. Hence a Sinhalese from Southern Sri Lanka will not be able to access the powers of Thesawalamai that a Tamil  who has invested in the Land of Thesawalamai would. It’s a natural entitlement.  The Land could be raised to the higher form and Nationhood could be recognized through Humans who have invested in other Humans to whom Thesawalamai Laws are ‘Home Laws’. Likewise – the practitioners of Separation of Powers between the Executive Government and the Judiciary.  All true investors in this system are naturally connected to each other through the higher Human Network. The powers would not work for those who have not invested in this Separation of Powers. In fact where within one common area  the force of investors in Separation of Powers is stronger than the force of those following the Monarchical Unitary State system as was the case in Sri Lanka from 1978 and in Indonesia after the end of Dutch rule.  In both instances the ‘users’ of majority looks moved back to the Monarchical system once they got into power. They became kings and queens by denying the period in-between.  Leadership status without belief leads to Dictatorship. The Sri Lankan Presidents – especially males – who desired to be Monarchs – went back in time and continued with the Colonial rule replacing the  Colonial rulers while saying the words that they were free of Colonialism. By denying the dues of Colonial Rulers – the new Ethnic leaders  failed to ‘include’ those values at the root level. Instead they entertained the desires of the voter to suit their desires and seriously damaged the system of democracy that they themselves invested in. In the case of Indonesia – current leaders have demonstrated that they have not given recognition to the Hindu rulers of that Land and that they did not get the approval of those ancestors who upheld Justice. Tamil King Ellan of the same dynasty as Emperor  Rajendra Cholan who ruled Indonesia, killed his own son when the cow whose calf was  accidentally killed by the prince rang the Bell of Justice in the King’s Palace. The gods gave back the lives of both  - the calf and the prince to the parents due to the equal level of respect demonstrated by the Great King towards the motherly feelings of the cow . I am not able to connect that value in the current Indonesian Leadership driven by votes. Myuran as a Tamil and as part of Hindu family - was entitled to be judged by those rulers of Indonesia as well – especially when it came to Governance powers beyond Administration.

The parallel of  that in our Jaffna Tamil system is the promotion of males to leadership position through ‘money’ (the parallel of votes) at surface value. Hence Dowry system was seriously damaged due to the generalization of the transfers of money wealth. Every Jaffna Tamil who contributed to this – sold her/his Sovereign rights  as a Jaffna Tamil which rights were accumulated through practice of Theswalamai and/or belief in the architects of the Law of Thesawalamai. Such Jaffna Tamils who sold-out cannot work the ‘Homeland Powers’ of our ancestors. Hence they keep producing current outcomes to ‘show’ how clever we are – rather than demonstrate through independent living – that we are Sovereign. One who is truly Sovereign would not give priority to ‘showing’ that Sovereignty before ‘protecting’ that intrinsic Sovereignty. The Indonesian Leadership kept ‘showing’ more and ‘protecting’ less. One who is Sovereign would feel hurt when the Sovereignty of another is damaged. One who indiscriminately mixes the two pathways – Monarchy and Democracy – is not Sovereign. Such a person loses the investment s/he made in the system of Democracy through which the empowerment to higher authority is claimed.

From time to time Truth manifests Itself to remind that those who make outcomes for their selfishness are damaging their own connection to the intrinsic Sovereignty of a Community.  When they fail to right the wrongs during the current period – the wrongs become sins. They thus handover lesser value heritage to their next generation.

The Governor is the representation of those who have protected this Sovereignty for themselves as individuals and  for our family/community/nation. All human laws have their limitations and every individual is entitled to that intrinsic Sovereign power of the individual carried through the position of Governor. Governors are the human form of Natural Judge/God and they need to be driven purely by belief.   Under this power a Muslim who is yet to discover the  common Divinity of  Muslims as a Community - does not have the authority to punish except through Muslim laws. That punishment is through a Muslim pathway. Hence other cultures need their own Governors of Common Belief..  This was the reason why the Dutch codified the Customs of Jaffna Tamils as Thesawalamai Customary Law. The parallels of this Customary Law was recognized also in other parts of Ceylon/Sri Lanka.  In common they had the Governors-General to make decisions that required the approval of Truth.  

 An Australian of Sinhala origin wrote in response to my article ‘Indonesia’s Black-Hole’ :

[Gaja says that she is in communication with Lord Shiva. I suppose she has prayed for this God to intervene and save Sukumaran through some miracle. But such things never happen as there is no God like Shiva, Allah, Jesus or any other.]

Those who do not ‘Believe’ are entitled to make statements such as the above.  But then their contribution is limited to the physical and the mental. We do not see Love or Truth. But most of us identify with Love and Truth as per our own inner Experiences. We do not ‘see’ or ‘know’ nation.  We can relate to country through the land we ‘see’ and the boundaries of a particular block of land and as per our calculations of our net positive contributions to the Nation as a whole. The Nation is above relativity and could only be identified with by a still mind. Likewise – with the body of an individual – we can say the person is dead. But the Spirit of the person – the Soul  could only be identified with.

I wrote on 29 April 2015, in the above mentioned article ‘Around 2.30 a.m. Australian time this morning – I had indicators that Myuran and Andrew were ok in spirit. The Divine message came through Lord Shiva –  the Hindu form of Power that helps us transcend the physical and the mental.   Myuran’s dedication to art helped him transcend above the reality around him.’

To my mind, the above statement confirms my own higher level of identity. The way the Sinhalese interpreted was to eliminate the belief component from it.  Strictly speaking – that person should not take time off during Christmas or Easter in Australia and Vesak in Sri Lanka. Vesak is the day Lord Buddha was born  as well as attained Nirvana (Liberation). Tamil Hindus celebrate this day as ‘Chithra Pournami’ (Chithrai=April in Hindu Calendar Pournami=Full Moon) ,  to remember and honor their  mothers who have passed away from the physical. Just because the body is not there does not mean that the person is not there. We identify with the real person and hence we commonly celebrate that higher mother. Without belief no anniversary has any meaning. With Belief one makes the experience Eternal. I was talking about that state for these young men who had settled their debt to Indonesia. Eventually the real comfort for the families of these young ones would come from identity with this transcendence despite unjust death punishment. It is unjust basically because Indonesia did not / does not have the authority to punish Australians of a different culture/system of Belief. Where there is no common law Administered through bodies such as the UN – every country must limit its jurisdiction to preventing entry of foreigners who have offended and/or repatriate foreign offenders to their Homeland. In terms of information shared also – we need to follow these jurisdictions to protect our  Sovereignty.

In Australian Universities the parallel of the Governor is the Chancellor. At the University of New South Wales – both Chancellors of my time – Sir Anthony Mason and Dr. John Yu – identified with me as a Sovereign contributor to the University system. But the Vice Chancellors who as per my assessment were driven by their own desire for credit, suppressed me and had me arrested for Peaceful Assembly.  This is my parallel of the Dismissal experience by the Hon Gough Whitlam. I sought and accessed the blessings of Australian elders who gave us the Inclosed Lands Protection Act 1901.  The purpose of that legislation was to prevent intrusion by outsiders to damage the work values of individuals and institutions and therefore their Sovereignty. Like Australian Federal Police - with the Bali 9 – New South Wales Police did not have the authority  of the law to arrest me. Yet they did. I wrote my own Judgment through my Truth which would be accepted as is by Chithragupthan when the Police have their judgment day through the system of Accountability.

In both countries – Sri Lanka and Indonesia – this higher Governor position  was used by Political leaders to change back to Monarchical structures.

In Australia the Governor General needs to  be beyond Administrative pathways – independent of those Administrative pathways. The Governor thus  represents the Monarch who is not any particular person but the consolidated investment all in Australia have made in that structure that has heritage value and cannot be measured through the current system. Today the full-moon day of April in the Hindu Calendar – is also the day when we celebrate Chithragupthan – the Judge  who gives structure as per our Truth, the whole Truth  and nothing but the Truth when we leave our mortal coils. His Judgment for Andrew and Myuran would have been very positive.

In the case of Bali 9 matter, it was reported that:

 ‘Victorian Supreme Court judge, the Hon  Lex Lasry - the long-time anti-death penalty campaigner said the Australian Government should form a group of "eminent persons" including lawyers, retired judges and people with specialist knowledge in the field to provide advice’

There is also talk about private member’s Bill to legislate to prevent unjust information sharing with foreigners. But all these would only improve the looks of the system. They would not facilitate access to the powers of those to whom Australia has been ‘home’. Only those who believe that Australia is ‘home’ and all Australians to whom this land is home is their Family – would access those powers. Despite the Dismissal and election of the Politician who abused Governance Power as Prime Minister – the Hon Gough Whitlam was identified with by Australians as a taller and more dignified leader than the Hon Malcolm Fraser who acted in breach of the Doctrine of Separation of Powers to become Prime Minister.

If lawyers and judges who have repeatedly acted in breach of this Doctrine by producing their own outcomes on behalf of the side they wanted to win – and/or against the side they do not like - lead this group of ‘eminent persons’ they would infect our belief systems with their own legal system’s weaknesses.  The lawyers who fought against the death penalty – were personally good lawyers in a weak system in both countries. We would have more distractions through such groups – and dilute our investment in discovering our own Truth and empowering ourselves through our cultural systems of Belief – in our own privacy.   Most of us who were not handicapped by legal credits – were able to help the Bali 9 leaders raise their consciousness above the legal system.

To my mind, the role of the Australian Federal Police (AFP)  is our primary concern. Every part of a Sovereign Nation would be Sovereign. Unless a part of our Government is Sovereign it does not have the authority to act on behalf of the whole nation of Australia. Ensuring that the AFP acted purely on the basis of work performed Independently by the AFP is of utmost importance to protecting Australian Boarders from unjust foreigners.  We need to first address the breaches by our own authorities before going externally to enlist the support of other nations. The punishment is the last step in this path of injustice. Valuing the rights of the common Australian citizen against invasion by those who have a different value system is the priority for Australia to protect its own Sovereignty.

A Sovereign Nation would naturally identify with another Sovereign Nation. Hence in this issue – both countries failed to uphold the laws relating to Sovereignty. The Australian Government under the leadership of the Hon Tony Abbott did make amends to a degree. We now need to look at prevention of such interference of Governance pathways of the Citizen by the State.  Where a citizen seeks intervention – the Government and its Agencies need to become facilities and not hijack the matter and produce their own outcomes in breach of the Doctrine of Separation of Powers. Where there is no lawful basis – one is safer to follow one’s own Truth which is the highest lawful pathway for everyone. The way Bali 9 ought to have respected the laws of Indonesia – the Australian Federal Police – ought to have respected the sovereignty of the citizen.  Our consolidated efforts to support the families – have raised the value of this experience to the higher level and we need include this values to restructure our laws and policies relating to Sovereignty of the Nation.
