Ayurveda
/ Siddha Medicine and Islamic Laws
As
per my discovery, every manifestation happens due to emotions, thoughts and feelings. In spirituality
we refer to them as Body, Mind and Soul. Emotions are most temporary and
feelings are eternal. As I often say – ‘Mothers are feelers and Fathers are
thinkers’. This distinction is necessary in every reliable structure. My
yesterday’s article was headed ‘Sri
Lanka/Sri Lankan is Surname and Islam/Muslim is Given name’- I highlighted that if the
marriageable age of women in Muslim law is to be raised to the same level of
Common law – then the other side of the balance – i.e.- polygamy for men also
ought to be changed to monogamy. A reliable law has two equal and opposite
sides. Given that the existing cultural marriage laws have worked well for
Muslims of Sri Lanka, one could consider it to be a reliable law of the kind that
Siddha / Ayurveda Medicine is. When
these are practiced with faith they become perfect – without any side-effects. It
is therefore important that the Equilibrium of these cultural laws without
side-effects are not interfered with by law makers and law enforcers.
It
is my understanding that Siddha means pure / perfect. Any science/law that
stands on its own rights and works independently is a perfect law. All belief
based laws are perfect laws. Imported laws become imperfect when used by a non-believer.
Like Muslim Law, and Thesawalamai Law, Kandyan Law applies to Sinhala Buddhists
whose origin was covered by Kandyan territory. There are parts of it that
protect Buddhism for example Section 5 relating to Gifts to Temples. A reliable
customary law works as per Siddha / Belief / Purity of Mind. It could be
integrated with mainstream when the believers’ powers are stronger than users’
power. Otherwise it would not work and the gap between theory and practice would
be widened.
The
mind in the jungle would pick up these natural powers more quickly than urban
minds driven by the seen and the heard. I realised the power of Thesawalamai
Law during the testamentary case of my brother in law. Lawyers and Judges
merely mentioned Thesawalamai but demonstrated lack of faith in our ancestors.
A good section of Jaffna Tamils continue to practice sections of that law. But,
like the Sri Lankan Prime Minister who proposed the alterations to Muslim
Marriage Law – my sisters in law claimed common law equal sharing – but after
having enjoyed dowry. This then upsets the Equilibrium of the Energy that
supports the self-operating independence of the family. My husband and I went
as far as we could – based largely on my respect based belief for the true
practitioners of Thesawalamai and Sri Lankan Hindu marriages. Each time a
verdict looked unfavourable to us – I felt pain. That pain helped me look
within and this helped me balance my own work until I felt satisfied that I had
satisfied the law as per the original makers.
The Hindu legend that depicts this tug of war
between the body and the soul is the Ocean of Milk legend as reflected in the
sculpture at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport. (picture at top)
In Sri Lanka some heritage lands are referred to as Swarnabhoomi (golden land). They
are the parallels of some farmlands here in Australia that cannot be sold
unconditionally on business basis. Lands on which we realise truth become
sacred lands. In the wake of Easter Sunday bombings it is important to study
whether this Swarnabhoomi parts of Sri Lanka were brought under common
law.
The Island reported on
06 October 2016 as follows, under the heading ‘New land laws
before end of year’:
[A
new legislation titled "Lands (Special Provisions) Bill" would be
presented to Parliament before the end of the year to do away with or relax
various restrictions on land use and ownership, Lands Minister John Amaratunga
said.
He said the Bill would grant
outright ownership of lands to those who possess Swarna Bhoomi and Jaya Bhoomi deeds. He said disputes among the
members in the same family had risen due to various restrictions in the law on
land ownership and transfer. He said the new legislation would solve those
issues.]
This is
the parallel of repealing sections of Muslim law to bring it in par with Common
Law – at least in looks. Minister John Amaratunga is also
Minister of Tourism Development and Christian Religious Affairs about whose
mind collusion with Australian government
has already been discussed by me. It is interesting that the following
would be reported about Mr John Ameratunga:
[In 2018 John
Amaratunga was accused of aiding the fraudulent acquisition of a property worth
Rs. 7 Billion from an elderly couple as well as holding them hostage.
Eighty-six year-old Wimalsen Fernando and his wife Shiranie Fernando learnt
that their property in Gregory’s Road, Colombo was fraudulently acquired by a
person named Prasad Deshapriya Vitharana of Kalubowila. When the property was
visited by the couple they were held hostage by Amaratunga's guards and
privately hired goons. When the couple's lawyers attempted to enter the
property they met Amaratunga in the property who used abusive language to
threaten them and attempted to evict them from the property but the lawyers
forced their way to the couple. The couple was threatened and Vitharana had extorted
money from them with death threats. While the couple complained to the Cinnamon
Gardens police they did not have an inquiry for more than five months and no
statement was taken taken from Amaratunga. When the media questioned the police
they claimed to be "unaware" of the incident. John Amaratunga
accepted that the accused was a friend but denied the allegations that he
abused his powers to stop the investigations or that to threatening the lawyers
instead he claimed he only asked them to leave calling them trespassers.]
Wikipedia
If that land was Swarna Bhoomi of Prasad Deshapriya
Vitharana of Kalubowila – then cheating him of the right to that land would
invoke calamities at the level of the one who disturbed that Equilibrium of
belief. Given that Mr John Amaratunga is Minister for Tourism Development and Christian Religious
Affairs the calamity happened to damage his portfolio. Mr Amaratunga’s
residence is stated as ‘88 Negombo
Road, Kandana’ – not too far from the churches targeted along the Western
coast.
Insiders are believers. They do not need proof. The
root cause of opportunity is Belief. The root cause of a problem is lack of
belief.
Minorities in any society need to be facilitated to
practice their beliefs within the privacy of their culture – as regulated by
their respective cultural laws. Land is a reservoir that preserves our true
heritage. When we practice self-governance we confirm our heritage value and
empower that land to be Swarnabhoomi/ Land of Perfection/Nationalism.
Hambantota is Sri Lanka’s Swarnabhoomi due to Indigenous
Kathirgamam. To my mind, this was why the warning against indiscriminate tourism manifested itself during the opening ceremony of Shangri la Hambantota.
Positive or Negative – Siddha powers manifest naturally on their own.
Thanks for sharing.This is nice and helpful post.
