CURRENT VALUE OF  LANKAN EXECUTIVE PRESIDENCY 

 

On Sri Lankan election day, a Tamil Elder wrote in response to my article headed – Coalition  With Minorities:

‘[Your point is taken; let us wait and see the verdict of the ‘hoi polloi’]

I responded :

[Thank you Aiya. I stated in the article:

‘My spiritual vote is for the person in the current president.’

 

The spiritual vote is soul power of a true citizen. Like Universal  power, it could be invoked to save the whole. In Hinduism it is known as Bramma asthiram]

 

All Spiritual votes are Sovereign powers. They empower from within. They bring ultimate Peace and harmony to those who develop and share such powers. When I read news reports, that the president’s party was leading in Jaffna District, I felt ‘I was President of Jaffna.

That is how Democracy works. If the leader empowers the people, it is Autocracy.  

Which system suits us, is determined by the common nature of the group.

In return, for  declaring my truth, I had the opportunity to contribute as follows through  an NPP supporter:

 

[Thank you Npp

 

Npp: But your opinion that a country needs an opposition in order to develop is faulty.

 

Gaja: In true democracy, Opposition is the ‘other side of the ownership coin. The government is Equal to the People. Hence the Common member of a democratic government is = Common citizen.

 

 

Npp: China,Vietnam,Singapore has developed significantly despite having no opposition

 

Gaja:  Going by Singapore model, we need  a Sri Lankan Lee Kuan Yew.

This would weaken Democracy  as Equal Opposition in Sri Lankan governance would be weakened. As an individual, the current President is humble and democratic. But the Common Sri Lankan Citizen pampered by her/his is not humble.

Such a person would be against Democracy. In Democracy, each person/group needs to find and operate within its own sovereign borders. This is facilitated by various forms of devolution of power.

To the extent the other side feels Ownership, as much as the government,  there is natural democracy.

Autocratic leaders who produce positive outcomes, fill the gap with autocratic structure.

Where the fail to do so, there is high risk of idleness filling the gap.

Successful Autocratic leaders prevent formation of such idle gaps  through higher intellectual work and/or hard work. The Hon Lee Kuan Yew contributed through both.

Warm regards

Gaja

 

As per my discovery, if we declare our truth when an outcome is being produced, we become a causal force. If we do not expect any particular outcome, our truth is an invisible force. Hence we become, the other side of the Ownership coin. In Democracy we are known as Equal Opposition.

The victory of NPP is considered  a landslide victory. In 1977, the UNP, led by Mr J R Jayawardene,  also won a landslide victory, leading to creation of Presidential structure. That structure failed us because Independent minorities were treated not as Equals but as juniors.

 

The current President became President first and there are expectations in some quarters that the Executive presidency would be abolished by the NPP.

 

 The 1977  collapse of the then government was preceded by the Vaddukoddai Resolution in 1976, through which Tamils declared Political Sovereignty. This was preceded by pain due to Sinhala only language law and Standardization policy, which was interpreted by Tamils, as affording lesser opportunities to Tamils to seek management jobs.

Genuine Pain when becomes shared ownership in th we do not draw our own benefits. Truth ultimately rewards us all as per our deservedness.

The current President will succeed through Executive Presidency, if he  treats minorities as Equals. One way is to be driven by Administration in Districts where minorities are by number a majority force.

COALITION WITH MINORITIES

 

Today, Sri Lankans have the opportunity to elect their representatives to make laws on their behalf.

 There are reports that the new President plans to form a government, by including minority cultures. This would weaken Democracy  as Equal Opposition in Sri Lankan governance would be eliminated.

 

Equal Opposition is essential in Democracy just as two parents are needed to make a family.  One is the other side of the other.

In autocracy, the opposition is invisible. Confidentiality is the strength of  autocracy. Armed groups, including official armies  are autocratic. The current president of Sri Lanka has his origins in an autocratic structure. As an individual he is kind and humble. As head of an institutional structure he would need to be autocratic within and democratic on the outside.

Former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa also faced this challenge. In his case the voters voted for the system he represented. If voters vote for the person in the current president, there will be Peace and harmony in Sri Lanka. My spiritual vote is for the person in the current president.

‘I believe that those driven by majority vote failed to  place a ceiling on majority power by freeing themselves of the responsibility to act within the law. I believe that those driven by majority sans the ceiling placed by law, automatically lose the moral right to resort to the power of the Court, to punish a person who has demonstrated stronger commitment to the law/s  regulating the issue.- Gajalakshmi Paramasivam

 

 

TAMILS ARE THE PERMANENT POLITICAL OPPOSITION

A Tamil Social Media group forwarded a clip of the speech by Mr. Amidran Rajakariya under the heading: ‘very illuminating’. Mr. Amidran Rajakariya demotes Tamil political leadership-as failure.  

History has taught us that when we unite as a minority group to oppose majority, and are more law-abiding than the majority, we would become more intelligent than majority group.  This was recognised by the then government that introduced the Standardisation policy.

The reasons for the higher intelligence included our deep investment in higher education. The likes of Dr Neelan Thiruchelvam are part of that rich heritage.

Mr. Amidran Rajakariya seems to be part of majority. If he is, he lacks the moral authority to urge the Tamil community to support the current president whose elders fought an armed war. Tamil rebels who also resorted to arms to eliminate political opponents are their Equal Other side. It is their responsibility to oppose the current regime.

The message is headed:

Building Nation together we are for Malimawa (compass)!

The question is whether minorities seek to be juniors or equals due to their own sovereign power?  As per article 3 of the Constitution:

 “3. In the Republic of Sri Lanka sovereignty is in the People and is inalienable. Sovereignty includes the powers of government, fundamental rights and the franchise.”

Hence, every Sovereign Comity’s first duty is to maintain its own sovereignty .

CLAYTON UTZ – DAVID & GOLAYTH?

 

“But that optimism faded when she arrived in Canberra and unknowingly entered a "slavery-type arrangement", says "David Hillard, a pro bono partner at law firm Clayton Utz”. "https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-16/former-deputy-high-commissioner-sri-lanka-to-pay-unpaid-wages/104226080

 

I learnt about pro bono lawyers when I sued my seniors – including Ministers who failed to hear me. That was when I learnt about “Clayton Utz” also. As per my memory, they represented the then Prime Minister in IN THE HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA in matter No S49 of 2001. I recently discovered  when I searched under my name, that Austlii had published the transcript of the above hearing. Below is an excerpt.

 

MRS PARAMASIVAM:   The judgments delivered in the Federal Courts did not show their connection to the law.  It is human nature to keep following past practices until one is challenged.  Judges also being human are no exceptions.  One who is therefore consciously overriding past practices would show the flow of reasoning from the root laws and not take the easy way of saying that I had no gross proof to substantiate that the discriminatory actions were based on my race.  By requiring gross proof, the judges have confirmed that they did not inquire deeper.  All anti‑discrimination laws require deeper inquiry for the judges to first know the truth.

 

The reason why is in the dictum “no one is judge in their own case"/ Nemo iudex in causa sua .

Deep inquiry takes the mind of the seeker to stillness, which is the seat of belief. Belief has perfect logic. I recently declared as follows:

 

The only decision acceptable to me, would be belief based. Belief based decisions are always beyond doubt.’

 

In criminal cases ‘reasonable doubt is allowed due to laws that we do not believe in , but use on relative basis. To that extent, we need evidence. Belief does not need evidence due to ownership. This is the foundation of Prescriptive rights.

In management, we use Performance Indicators with internal managers/owners.

Belief is exponential. Money is most relative and often leads to entry into Dark money networks. You were especially concerned about this in terms of my share of the sale proceeds, and  mentioned ‘money laundering’ , until I stated that it would stay in Sri Lanka . I confirm that I wrote as follows to you on 30 July:

‘I assure you that I am determined to keep the proceeds in Sri Lanka. Towards this, I would be consulting with my Auditors.’

When you urge me to accept Mr Wickremasinghe’s proposal, you are demonstrating a wakening of your own stand with me. I therefore urge you to NOT encourage Mr X to become the judge in this matter. Belief happens in the still mind. It has no form. Money driven decisions require ‘judgments’ because they are most relative. They need most form as per the stated law common to both sides.

 

In the case of the Sri Lankan diplomat, both minds were Sri Lankan. Hence Australian law has no jurisdiction. If it does, then I also ought  to have been paid    at  the same rate as  an Australian Charted  Accountant.  Is the Government ready to compensate me?  Is Clayton Utz ready to reverse its  own karma, by providing  me pro bono service against Australian  Government?

JAFFNA RIVER Vs 13A

 

As per Thiru  Valluvar, there is no redemption for the ungrateful. Gratitude leads to completion of experience. Completed experience is the root of Reliability.

 

As per my discovery, those who are ungrateful, but put on a show of gratitude, develop imaginary completion of experience.  That which is imaginary has no root in reality.  This influences bipolarism.

 

In Sri Lanka, politicians actively promote ethnic polarisation through false promises.

 

In his recent article ‘History of promises on language issue; politicians & 13A’, veteran journalist KKS Perera  quotes as follows:

“Politicians promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.”– Khrushchev :Premier of Russia-1958/1964.

 

On 02 August, Economy Next published a report headed-

‘Sri Lanka to start on ‘River to Jaffna’ water scheme: President’.

As per that report:

[In 1954, Engineer Arumugam, former deputy director of the Irrigation Department, proposed a River for Jaffna for the benefit of the Jaffna peninsula water resources and environment.

Over the years, the irrigation department, Mahaweli Authority, various local and foreign consultants, and international agencies have contributed to and improved the proposal. ]

 

The Sinhala Only Act was passed two years after Mr Arumugam, made the proposal. It is highly likely that Mr Arumugam used English as his Official language. The value of the law, is as per the makers’ mind. True proposals carry their own minds. Hence the proposal needs a Common candidate of Tamil origin to lead it to success.

 

Until then it would be an imaginary river under the ethnic bridge that President Wickremesinghe promised but

failed  to build.

Sajith promised to implement the 13^th Amendment in full. President Wickremesinghe is promising Jaffna River. Both are imaginary and therefore would strengthen polarisation.

WELFARE & INSANITY

 

A member of a social group dominated by doctors, stated as follows about a rebel doctor in Sri Lanka:

 

[Poor guy is elated but before some calamity. But how about his insanity?]

My response was

 

Yours or his?

When you , as a senior indulge in gossip, instead of correcting the likes of him in this forum,  you also become கிழட்டு அரசியல் வாதி/ haggard Politian.

 

The above was preceded by the following on 15 July:

 

Senior Doctor: [Archunas mental disability is taking him for a good ride.]

 

Gaja: It is unethical for someone from the medical profession to state this without appropriate tests and analyses. This morning, I shared as follows with my Strata Community of which Mr Bob Carr , former Premier NSW is now part of:

 

{ I wrote it in my book ‘Naan Australian’ which is now with our National library. In chapter 23, I mention Mr Carr as follows

 

[I heard Premier Carr say yesterday about arrest warrants against Terrorists – that the Judge would first need to have reasonable evidence that an arrest warrant is needed. But you, the Maroubra Police and the Waverley Local Court did not need this – did you? What did Premier Carr do when I educated him about it? NOTHING. We are on our own – each one for herself. That is the way it will be with you also Professor Wainwright – if you try to dictate to me. ]

 

Aleks, ultimately our truth is our inner reality. During Mr Carr’s time as premier, I was listed as ‘mentally ill person. If this  is not true, the charge is owned exponentially by those in the system that  so certified me.]}

As per my discovery, mental illness is an illogical state of mind. In maths it is an unbalanced equation. In accounting, it is an unbalanced Balance sheet. In physics, the balance is confirmed by Newton’s third law of motion. In learning, plagiarism brings about mental illness. In the Jaffna Tamil community those who receive dowry as well as males’ share, contribute to Separatism  genes of the Community.

Mental imbalance is stated as a cause of violence. A recent attack at Westfield shopping centre at Bondi, was attributed to mental illness.

Can the risk of mental illness be reduced through natural ways? Does pampering increase the risk?

 

As per the saying ‘No pain , no gain, one has to earn one’s gain.  The work pain of following the ethics of our profession, also prevents mental imbalance.

 

In Sri Lanka’s Northern Province, risk of mental illness is on rise due to ‘free money’ from the Tamil diaspora. One way to reduce the risk is to bring them into our circle of belief. Last night I wrote as follows, to a debtor who borrowed claiming to be a ‘son’:

 

‘If you disappoint me, your children will disappoint you, because I thought of you as a son to share our savings. Don’t let it become a sin’

 

In the case of my husband’s family, the sisters who claimed in court Equal share, after receiving dowry out of the Commonwealth, carry Separatism sin, due to taking over male leadership, in breach of Customary law. We opposed them in courts, but they insisted.  Now they share the genes of separatism with  their  children.

 

During the 2018 Constitutional  crisis in Sri Lanka,  political leaders were horse-trading with their seats. https://island.lk/political-horse-trading-in-full-swing-alleges-jvp/

In 2022 the President who  benefited from that separated from  Politics.

 

Where there is belief, there is Commonness. Where there is Commonness, there is natural protection from mental instability.

TAMIL  EELAM & LOTUS BUD

 

My husband’s batchmate, Krishnamoorthi came to mind when I responded this morning to a Tamil Community Elder, regarding  the Hon Rajavarthiam Sampanthan who passed away on 30 June, at the age of 91.

 

Krishnamoorthi  had a scientific mind and expressed belief in Time and place being change agents. My expressions below are supported by his belief also.

 

Community Elder: You are entitled to your opinion ! Gaja

 

Gaja: An opinion could be a mere thought. In this case, I took Mr. Mario Arulthas’ work to based on academic research which when it is past. As Yoga Swami said ‘Eppavo Mudintha Kaariyam.’ – meaning completed matter.   There are two ways in which matter gets completed.  Permanent Time and Place changes.  Immigration & Academic research come under place changes. This requires one to take no benefits or feel responsibility for losses from the competed matter. My expressions were Belief based.

 

Etched in my memory is the following warning to former  President Mr Mahinda Rajapaksa, in Parliament:

 

‘..if you persist in this agenda, I want to tell you, Eelam will bloom, not on account of us, on account of your lotus bud’.

 

Is such a claim a reality? Recently, I shared as follows , on gratitude through Thirukural 110:

 

‘Kural – 110

This Kural confirms that every fact generates its pair/ other being.  Hence in junior gives birth to senior & v.v. in autocracy. If in autocracy,  junior caste was unjustly treated, then, in Democracy they would be distant from former seniors. Hence separatism – not from Sinhalese but from former seniors.’

Hence Hon Rajavarthiam Sampanthan’s warning effectively stated Newton’s third law.

 

Below are excerpts from relevant discussions based on  the report  ‘Tamil politics in Sri Lanka after R Sampanthan, the elder statesman that never was by Mr  Mario Arulthas – published by Tamil Guardian:

 

Report by Mr  Mario Arulthas: ‘ I will make my people ungovernable!” Rajavarothiam Sampanthan exclaimed, banging on the table.

 

Gaja: This could be interpreted as Mr Sampanthan saying that we are already self governing. Such a belief is essential to earn the right to Oppose and form an alternate form of government in a Federal structure.

 Report by Mr  Mario Arulthas :He was at a private meeting with diplomats of a powerful Western state in 2016, his expression giving away his frustration over the failure of the ruling Sri Lankan government, then led by Maithripala Sirisena, to make progress on the Tamil national question. ]

 

Gaja: Not just the Sri Lankan government, but the would-be Tamil government, in the form of armed rebels who Opposed politics. Like Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa who lacked Political experience, armed rebel leaders were structured  differently. Armed rebels operated to takeover power from politicians. Hence the  ‘ungovernable warning.

 

Report :R Sampanthan was one of Sri Lanka’s longest-serving members of parliament and the leader of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), the main political coalition representing the Tamils of the country’s North and East. ]

 

He had promised Tamils ahead of the 2015 election that there would be a political settlement to meet their long-standing demands for autonomy by 2016 – and when that did not materialise in time he promised it by 2017.

 

Gaja: Politics, like emotions, is one way. The People who have the need would have naturally completed the ‘other’ side. Until then there is no completion, but – mere testing of waters. Hence I quoted  my friend KKS Perera as follows, on 03 July:

“Politicians promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.”-- Khrushchev :Premier of Russia-1958/1964

 

 

Report : Since his death in June, glowing tributes for Sampanthan have poured in from politicians and diplomats in Colombo, highlighting his pragmatism and his undeniable service.  

Gaja: This confirms that there was a global need for Tamil Political promises that Mr Sampanthan competed on behalf of Sri Lankan Tamil Community.

 

Report :India’s prime minister and foreign minister praised his advocacy in pursuit of justice and dignity for Tamils. Some, including senior TNA figures such as M A Sumanthiran, pointed out his commitment to a “united, undivided, indivisible” Sri Lanka, pre-empting any questioning of his past affiliation with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

 

Gaja: As per Hindu belief, we pray to Lord Shiva, the destroyer of the physical aspect, of our life, to free the Spirit. One is thus able to thus merge one’s own truth with the one who has departed, to render Common form.  In secular language,  this is presented as ‘Of the dead nothing but good is to be said." — Nil nisi bonum. Thus Sumanthiran has become a true Political Heir of the Hon Rajavarothiam Sampanthan.
