Bhagavad Gita
& Lankan Constitution
“The
United National Party (UNP) has not changed its stance on changing the current
Constitution, UNP MP Nalin Bandara Jayamaha told a news conference today.
The
party believes that this Constitution is outdated and it should be changed in
keeping with today’s needs. It is interesting to see those who opposed the 1978
constitution now attempting to cling to the Constitution” Daily Mirror report – under Subject heading Constitution outdated;
needs to be changed: UNP
“Ven.
Athuraliye Rathana Thera said today that security forces personnel should not
be imprisoned in connection with war crimes for the sake of regaining the GSP+
facility from the EU.
After
remaining politically silent for some time he told a media briefing that the
government had mentioned about a hybrid court as one of the conditions to
regain this trade concession.
“Do we have to imprison military personnel
who defeated terrorism to regain the GSP. Don’t we have any self-confidence?
However, today we have re-gained this facility sans a hybrid court,” the
Thera said. Daily Mirror report – under Subject heading Don't imprison soldiers
for GSP: Rathana Thera
As per Wikipedia:
‘Athuraliye Rathana Thero is
a Sri Lankan Buddhist
monk, politician and a member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka. A leading member
of the Jatika Hela Urumaya a Buddhist nationalism party in Sri Lanka, thero
played a major role in defeating Mahinda
Rajapaksa and making Maithripala Sirisena President.
In the 2015 general election thero was a national list nominee of the United National Party List. Thero was
appointed to the parliament after United National Party won the
election’
With Tamil National Alliance (TNA) as the
Leading Opposition, the National Parliament of Sri Lanka has become a place
where manifestation of Truth is facilitated. As I say about our own home in
Coogee, NSW, Australia – a place where Truth is spoken / manifested is a sacred
place. Where such manifestation shows objectively measurable outcomes – it is of
Common value rather than being of private value. We may speak the Truth to ourselves in our own
minds. That usually is the role of Priests.
As per Article 9 of the Sri Lankan
Constitution, a Buddhist Priest wearing the robe in Parliament – has the special
duty to represent Buddhist principles
and values. His foremost DUTY is to evaluate as per Buddhist philosophy – so the
ordinary Buddhist citizen lacking in knowledge of secular laws – would be able to
derive value as per her/his own local needs.
After having spent time alone with the Tamil Tigers in 2003 – through a UNDP project,
I now think often of the personal sacrifices made by individuals within the
Movement, in everyday living. One leader
said that when they lived in the jungle they had to dig deep into the pot to
find few grains of dhal / lentils. I recall that when I eat Dhal. Most forewent family life to be in the
Movement. Those sacrifices give them the authority to give form to their work,
until challenged otherwise. All those who died in combat – including Velupillai
Prabhakaran need to be taken as war heroes as per the laws of Natural Justice.
Likewise, members of Sri Lankan armed forces who acted outside the official
rules and laws they did not know about. If the Constitution is considered to be
lacking in reliability – then the decisions made by the Governments using that
Constitution were unreliable. This includes the serious ‘Terrorism’ charges
against the Tamil Tigers used also by the Buddhist Clergy. If an Armed Soldier
within the Government payroll is excused on the basis of belief by their elders
– then the LTTE combatants also ought to have been excused on the basis of
belief by their own elders – elected politicians and Religious elders. That is
when the Sovereignty of a Nation is uphed.
The Sovereignty of a Nation is recognized
as per the Sovereignty of all investors in that block of Land. To the extent the
Lankan Government and its supporters access ‘Traditional Powers’ – its Opposition
and Opposition supporters are entitled
to go back in time when there were no legally defined borders between India and
Sri Lanka. In fact even if one member of the Opposition goes back into that era
as if it were virtual reality – the forces are invoked for better or for worse
for that person. This requires deep focus through meditation. I believe that we
keep honoring our ancestors for this reason – even though we may not be
conscious of this return. Lankans who invoke Buddha for example invoke common
powers between India and Lanka. Likewise Lankan investors who invoke Rama.
To the extent the Lankan Government and its
supporters access wider powers including the UN – its Opposition and Opposition
supporters are entitled to access lateral
support. That was how the UN Resolution against the Lankan Government happened.
It happened largely through war related migrants and their unresolved pain. The
crowning happened through Ms Navi Pillai – of Tamil origin about which the following is included in
Wikipedia:
‘Her
criticism of the Sri Lankan government, in alleging human rights violations and
atrocities committed by them against Tamil civilians at the end of the Sri Lankan civil war, has led the
government and its supporters to apportion her own Tamil descent as the only
reason for her criticism, a claim she strongly denies.’
At that time, the Sri Lankan Constitution
carried Buddhism Foremost provision through Article 9. Natural Justice
therefore entitles every Non-Buddhist to Act as per their religious belief
foremost – before applying the secular law. At their level – most combatants
within the LTTE – would have had mind structures as per their respective
religions. So long as their religious leaders have judged them – the Government
has no authority over them. In addition to this Natural Power – Articles 10
& 14 (1) (e ) of the Sri Lankan Constitution provide for religious ‘freedom’
and confirm the above Natural Entitlement.
The Opportunity to manifest Equal and Opposite
effect is a Sovereign Power that each one of us is entitled to as per the laws
of Nature. Even if the UN had not intervened, the punishment would have
happened as per the strongest pathway in which such Opposition invests. That is
the promise we have from Natural Forces.
To the extent we invest in the official pathway we would be able to make
and show the connections. Beyond that the outcomes are common to all and each
type of believer is entitled to draw her/his/their conclusions.
Hindustan Times for example reports:
‘India should rethink its
opposition to Chinese investments in Sri Lanka and join the port development in
the island nation instead of feeling “jealous”, China’s state media said on
Monday’
Relative
to China, India has invested in Common Culture – with Sri Lankans – especially Hindu
Sri Lankans. Their minds are continuously and naturally connected to each other
and this is of far higher value than China which brings in money without that
common mind at the level of average Sri Lankan. Even Buddhism is not the first
religion of China whereas India gave birth to Buddha and facilitated Buddha’s realization
of Divinity. When we are naturally connected – the forces within flow freely
between the two – as between friends.
It is no
coincidence therefore that the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, the Hon N Chandrababu Naidu, was accorded extraordinary reception by the
President of Sri Lanka during Thai Pongal period. https://www.telugu360.com/chandrababu-accorded-state-heads-reception-sri-lanka/ .
In contrast, there were violent protests
from ordinary Sri Lankans led by Buddhist clergy, against China being allocated Land in
Hambantota.
President Sirisena was disciplined twice
during his visit to Thirupathi Vishnu Temple in Andhra Pradesh. In February
2015 :
‘The
authorities at the richest temple in the country nearly experienced a major
embarrassment when the lock of the golden door leading to the
sanctum sanctorum of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala got stuck minutes before Sri
Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena and his wife reached for darshan early on
Wednesday.’
In August 2016:
‘Senior
officials of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on Sunday faced
embarrassment as the visiting Sri Lanka President Maithripala Sirisena was
forced to wait in his car as the driver did not turn up in time.’
They were both part of Security issue – the
former Security of the People and the latter Security of the President. When
our former Prime Minister Ms Julia Gillard had a fall at Gandhi Memorial I
attributed to her being too big for the Prime Minister’s shoes. Sydney morning
Herald reported:
‘Ms Gillard has a history of embarrassment with
apparently loose shoes and difficult heels……………….…. Early this year she was
separated from her shoe when she was being dragged to safety by security
officers during a demonstration near the Aboriginal tent embassy in Canberra.
That shoe was seized by protesters, who finally returned it after considering
auctioning it on eBay.’
Each one sees as per their insight,
combined with external influence. I
attributed to Ms Gillard lacking in investment in Sovereignty of non-White
Australians and hence the fall at Gandhi Memorial.
We as ordinary people without particular
portfolios always have the opportunity to ask through our Belief, seek and find
or knock on the doors of Natural Justice to know the karmic connection. Then we
naturally contribute to the Sovereignty of any group / nation that includes us
as part of itself. The Bhagavad Gita was
the essence of the lesson learnt through the war between children of two
brothers. That is the Constitution of
that land born out of the Truth realized on that Land. Any Sri Lankan
Constitution that likewise upholds the Truth of Sri Lanka – will lead to
natural Harmony and Peace. Alternate laws based on our dreams of custodians of
power and copied from other nations would lead us to more wars.
