Sri Lanka Hub for Indigenous pathways against War & Covid?  

‘In collaboration with the WHO Sri Lanka is establishing a regional knowledge hub to facilitate exchange of lessons learnt from Covid 19 and facilitate countries to recover better’ – Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, in his address of the 76th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations

In Parliament, one has the duty to speak the Truth and thereby earn the right to immunity from legal process. Likewise at the General Assembly of the UN.  Missing in the above is another part that happened in Sri Lanka’s fight against Covid 19. That was the treatment recommended by the then Health Minister Ms Pavithra Wanniarachchi – whose following of a saman was presented as follows by Economy Next:

[A faith healer with VIP clients who claims supernatural powers has persuaded Sr Lanka’s Health Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi to try his miracle water to end the coronavirus pandemic.

Eliyantha White, 47, got Wannirachhchi to smash a pot containing his special water into the Kalu Ganga to contain the spread of the Coronavirus, footage broadcast over the internet showed.

In the process, White had managed to unmask health minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi with the results of her efforts so far as the number of infections crossed 11,000 with 22 deaths.

A video recorded by her own men shows her security detail was also not wearing masks, probably assured that pot luck would keep them virus free.

She did not take off the transparent plastic sheet covering the pot before reverently dropping it into the Kalu Ganga.

However, the medicine man himself placed more faith in science and wore a face mask as he also threw a pot, this time into the Madu river.

With virus-containing efforts all going to pot, two other ministers, Udaya Gamnmanpila and Prasanna Ranatunga, jumped in. They were both filmed throwing pots into the Kelani Ganga at two different locations]

 

As per BBC – ‘A Sri Lankan shaman who touted a potion which he said would protect people against Covid-19 has died with the disease, his family says.’ As per the reports – the death happened on the same day the President delivered his speech at the UN. That Truth needs to be included for Sri Lanka to be a genuine knowledge hub.

In terms of the war – indigenous pathway was used against the LTTE – without separating civilians who were entitled to the protection of secular pathway, bound by the provisions in the Sri Lankan Constitution. The result became a problem of global proportions. Given that the temptation to use the easy pathway was not cured – it continues and has mutated into using indigenous pathways to claim as natural vaccine to prevent Covid.

The Sri Lankan President declared also - ‘Sri Lanka’s philosophical heritage  deeply rooted in Lord Buddha’s teachings also emphasises the vitality of environmental integrity.’

Every religion has its ways to protect the environment. The question is whether Lord Buddha’s teachings which include being true to oneself – were followed  by this government that failed to prevent its Health Minister from misleading the Public and thereby undermining the power of belief in the secular medicine that the vaccine is a part of? The more we have armed forces as civil administrators the greater our claim that Sri Lankans do not need higher education in secular life - but more and more weapon based power.

 

Was the President paving the way for the parallel of Wuhan Laboratory in Hambantota? On the same day the President made the above declarations at the UN – Newsweek published the following:

 

[Less than two years before the COVID-19 pandemic began, scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology planned to genetically alter viruses to make them more infectious for humans and release them into bat caves.

The research proposal was part of a trove of documents released this week by a group of scientists and activists who are trying to determine the origins of the pandemic, which has killed 4.7 million people around the world, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The Wuhan scientists were listed as partners on a funding proposal the environmental health nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance made to the U.S. government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)]

 

This is an indicator as to why the Australia would need the partnership of USA & UK to protect us from Nuclear attacks. That is the Truth that Lord Buddha spoke – through Chinese believers.

English First, Sinhala Next, Tamil Dead

The Truth has a way of showing itself to Its seekers. Mr Gothabaya Rajapaksa, who is currently the President of Sri Lanka demonstrated disrespect for the Sri Lankan Constitution when he spoke yesterday at the United Nations General Assembly. The constitution is the outer form of the heritage we share with our future. Using it merely for current benefits would invoke pandemics such as the current global one. It is to prevent such disasters that we have memorials. The Victorian protests yesterday at the war-memorial confirmed such disrespect for our Common ancestors. ( SBS article - 'Disgrace to the nation': Veterans slam protesters at Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance).  It was painful to watch and failed to earn the blessings of true Australians. It was an unrighteous protest. Likewise – the Sri Lankan President’s speech at the UN, lacked authenticity. Article 18 of the Sri Lankan Constitution provides as follows:

[18. (1)]The Official Language of Sri Lanka shall be Sinhala.

(2) Tamil shall also be an official language.

(3) English shall be the link language.]

The President who claimed to use home mechanism – confirmed that in truth the order is as follows:

[The Official Language of Sri Lanka shall be English – (This was confirmed by his speech being in English)

Sinhala shall also be an official language. ( This was confirmed by  ]

'Ayubowan' but not the Tamil parallel – ‘vannakkam’ which was used by British Politicians, including Mr Boris Johnson – to attract Tamil votes. That is how Sri Lanka’s loss became UK’s gain through Tamils who preserved the British heritage.

Mr Rajapaksa referred also to Buddhist values in Sri Lanka – indicating the true reason for the  Easter Bombings – lack of Jurisdiction by those attached to benefits from external forms of Buddhist values. This resulted in demonstrating favouritism to Buddhists in Afghanistan where majority are Muslims. The President called upon the UN to protect the Buddhist heritage in Sri Lanka while failing to commit himself to maintaining the Muslim, Christian and Hindu heritages in Sri Lanka. The most valuable part of a heritage is its wisdom. Then come the People who carry that wisdom and then the outer forms – such as buildings and books.  It is that intelligence that was lacking in the then President when the Easter Bombings happened. The position carries that karma and would infect anyone who takes that seat and fails to practice current values actively. That position carries negative karma in this regard. Every true Buddhist would know this; Every true Sri Lankan would know this.

Article 14 (1) (e ) of our Constitution confirms this Universal value as follows:

[(14 (1) (e ) Every citizen is entitled to the freedom, either by himself or in association with others, and either in public or in private, to manifest his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching;]

That is a Universal clause and if Afghanistan has included that in its constitution – the UN has the duty to facilitate it.  There was no need for political lobbying.

AUSTRALIAN TAMIL ORPHANS

I believe that each one of us contributes to the truth in our environment by active discovery or passive negligence.  The Biloela Tamil family is an example of the latter by the government of Australia. I was directed to their Australian story at Series 2021 No Place Like Home : ABC iview .

Conspicuously missing were members of the institutionalised part of the Tamil community – except Mr Aran Mylvaganam - the person representing Tamil Refugee Council. This confirmed the separation between the refugees and mainstream Australian Tamils, including those who came as refugees. Yesterday I wrote ‘I believe that yesterday’s experience is the foundation of today’s natural law.’ This applies to any group that is bound by Common values. Hence the absence of that community leadership – confirms that at institutional level – this particular family did not have Community support. The Tamil Refugee Committee representative is the parallel of the representative of the Australian Border Force. Majority individual supporters were White Australians who supported the stay of the Tamil family in Australia.  When based on that – Biloela effectively loses membership with the Commonwealth. Likewise this family adopted directly by White Australians would lose membership with the structured part of the Australian Tamil Community. We cannot build a community structure on the basis of sympathy. Being an Australian Tamil is an institutional position.

Sri Lankan Tamils became a force to be reckoned with due to our institutional values. In Northern Sri Lanka, our institutional values were codified as Thesawalamai law. As per this law, gender based separation of powers was promoted including through the dowry system. The couple married here in traditional dress and through traditional ceremonies. It is their duty to ensure that those institutional values are upheld. If they are used to draw benefits – the negative outcomes would be exponential. The Eastern LTTE leader Karuna is an outstanding example of taking direct benefits and handing them over to the Government. This confirmed the lack of cohesive power to unite militants as an institution.

The improvement I saw in individuals who supported the family was through Damien Kingsbury – who to my mind,  was disrespectful of the then President of Sri Lanka and was effectively ‘telling’ President Mahinda Rajapaksa to step down and thus supporting the De Facto state of the LTTE. That is like supporting the mistress and demoting the wife. A natural wife is above institutional status. A mistress is below institutional status. I noted the change in Damien Kingsbury when he said in the above ABC presentation that in 2012 - the LTTE was deemed by the Australian Government to be a Terrorist organisation. This confirmed that Damien Kingsbury is wiser now about Sri Lanka than he was in 2009.

In terms of the head of the family – Nades, he renders an indicator in the presentation - as to how he sees himself . Nades criticizes the environment in which he was kept during detention – here in Australia. That is NOT based on truth of the common experience of war victims. There are many Tamils who live in Sri Lanka where changes in weather robs them of shelter. They rebuild with community support. Likewise, those who took the war as a natural hazard have started rebuilding with community support which includes considerable support from the Tamil Diaspora sans political interests. As former immigration Minister the Hon Amanda Vanstone stated – the decisions should be one based on principles and not politics of proximity. The latter is the style of the current government  of Sri Lanka. Giving them permanent visas is to import Sri Lankan politics of Rajapaksas into Australia.  Australians have the duty to raise the experience to the global level in the case of war refugees. Hence the institutional values or Universal truth.

The family ‘s current plight has been made due to the matter being politicized. Hence the family needs to accept mistress / de facto status for a much longer period than those who went through torture during the war and therefore carry deep feelings of fear of return. Anything less would be an insult to those who so suffered and continue to live in Sri Lanka because that is their home.  The ignorance and negligence of the Australian government should not be the basis of immigration which is a highly institutionalised pathway in global participants. Those who apply through global laws have the responsibility to live in Australia as per global values. In this instance – this family has not demonstrated community institutional values of that standard. Hence they need to live as per their truth which makes them universal. Then they are not orphans as they have now been made out to be.

Tamil Eelam – is Dowry – Not Muthusum

I believe that yesterday’s experience is the foundation of today’s natural law. The natural law connects us to each other without any effect on our part. Written laws that are within such natural laws, would promote self governance.

In Democracy, the electorate is the smallest unit representing sovereignty. In NSW, Australia, during Covid lockdown – the State Government locked us into our respective Local Government Areas (LGAs).  The rules were set by State government and not the Local Governments.  This confirmed that the State government did not have confidence in local governments to lead their respective communities or that the State Government desired to directly control the Covid issue. In my suburb of Coogee, I take the State Government’s rules seriously not because I see direct logic in it but because it comes through a higher common structure. Then my ‘experiences’ are also measured at that level and go straight to the law-making Energy at that level. To the extent I feel ownership in Coogee – it would become Common Energy of Coogee.

I learnt about the importance of appropriate Common measures through my painful experiences in Northern Sri Lanka where the oldest Common measure is Thesawalamai Customary law. My book written in Tamil has been named ‘Jaffna is my heritage and not my dowry’ It also holds the key to our solution to our Ethnic problem in Sri Lanka.

Yesterday I quoted Tamilnet - “I cannot support Tamil Eelam, but I won’t deport the boys,” Ms Gandhi had told Mr Kalyanasundaram, according to Pulavar Pulamaipithan.’

A couple of  non-Tamils who are in my Sri Lankan group responded as follows:

1.     ‘Australia should not support any armed group past or present, that fought against a democratically elected government for the main aim and purpose of creating a separate state.’

2.     ‘No country or state should support armed terrorism whether it be in Sri Lanka or elsewhere globally.

Sri Lanka is a multi-national country where people of all religions, caste, creed or ethnicity, should all live in peace and harmony respecting each other’s rights.

1.     Does not confirm the Truth about Australia due to Australia recruiting migrants knowing they were LTTE members.

2.      Above does not reflect  the consolidated picture of current Sri Lanka.

Both lack the experience that the theories can measure. As per Australian experience at the time of recruitment of migrants during war – the Sri Lankan government was wrong as per the Australian measures – especially in terms of Equal Opportunity laws. As per the global measures (2) above lacks the multi-cultural minded government  to take such a credit and hence the measure is wrong.

During the Tamil Diaspora meeting – Mr Ravi Kumar – Coordinator, British Tamil Forum was a keynote speaker. In essence he proposed investigating the reason for atrocities from 1948. This means after departure of British as rulers. The hidden agenda there is British rule and not Tamil rule.

The other keynote speaker was Mr Arun Gananathan – lawyer , Birnberg, Peirce and Partners – who highlighted opportunities through Global Judicial system. His presentation would have earned the British Tamil Community a significant position in ICJ.

The experience on which the above group started the meeting was LTTE’s Thileepan who was crowned the LTTE’s political leader of Jaffna Peninsula. Given that no Tamil Politician in current Parliament of Sri Lanka has disputed this – one has to accept it as them accepting this.

Given that majority Jaffna Tamils practice the system of dowry as part of the distribution of Commonwealth – one has to use Thesawalamai law as the measure most appropriate measure for the whole of Northern Community. What does that law say in this regard?

1.     Females (daughters) inherit from senior females (mothers)

2.     Males (sons) inherit from senior males (fathers)

3.     Current earnings (Thediya Thettam) is to be distributed as per the rules of those who earned them.

On the basis of the above, distribution to daughters when they get married is known as Dowry. The daughters who take dowry lose the right to share in the residual wealth which after dowry is the new commonwealth. The daughter who accepted dowry has the duty to develop her own family structure and is not entitled to participate in the governance of the family she separates from. Majority Indians would also identify with this structure.

Until the armed militancy Tamil politicians opposed Sri Lanka being claimed as Sinhala nation. This Opposition was confirmed through Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976. It was confirmed by the People in 1977 – when Tamils became Equal Opposition in Sri Lankan Parliament. That is the natural heritage.

LTTE claimed separate state. This is dowry from the Commonwealth. All those who base claims on LTTE achievements are heirs of that new branch. They have no right to participate in governance of Sri Lanka. This includes the likes of Mr C V Wigneswaran who often refers to ancestral values after  referring to LTTE leader as Thambi (younger brother). Through that relationship, Mr Wigneswaran made himself the leader of that branch of the Tamil community that broke away to form its own branch. Such leaders had no right to come to the Common Parliament of Sri Lanka – until they expressly show remorse for supporting Separatism.

Most Tamils would know about Kamathenu  the female cow – with endless flow of milk. Kamam = lust and Then(thehn) = honey. The message is that such a cow voluntarily blesses us with endless flow of milk that tastes like honey. Kamathenu  lives in the homes of sages who through renunciation of benefits realise bliss.

In terms of knowledge – what happened is lust. The independent intelligence within that – known as wisdom /Gnanam – is the sweet honey in that knowledge.
