Today
is the birth anniversary of our aunt Mrs Padma Sanmugarajah. I believe that
when we remember loved ones as if they are currently with us, and appreciate
their goodness, we canonize their goodness. If we owe them and fail to settle
it even after death, we inherit the opposite of their good qualities, or worse their
bad qualities, if any. As per my discovery, when we pay our respects to our
ancestors, we inherit their positive aspects. They mutate as per our true need.
[Sri
Lankans living in Australia are refraining from sending desperately-needed
funds to struggling friends and family back home, fearing money will never end
up in the hands of those in need because the government will steal it.]
The
names in the report were Sinhalese, who in Sri Lanka hold majority power to
elect government. For example:
[Upul Chandana, 49, is the secretary of
the North Victoria Sri Lankan Welfare and Cultural Association.
He says the Sri Lankan community feels
powerless…..Mr
Chandana is also secretary of the Samadhi Buddhist Association and volunteers
for the Craigieburn SES unit]
If
Tamils do not trust this government, that would be understandable, due to the war
against the LTTE, in which a large number of Tamil civilians were seriously
wounded and/or killed.In my circles,
only a handful of Sri Lankans of Sinhalese origin felt for the civilian victims
of the armed war. The rest inherited the karma of the government. Those who
were grateful to the soldiers who risked their lives to do their duty inherited
the commitment to duty through lawful process. Those who celebrated with the
government – are paying the price now of that victory celebration. I witnessed
some of those in Colombo, in 2009.
Money
on its own is like unregulated/free pleasure. One such pleasure is the war
victory celebration by those who were not direct victims of the war. The
discipline in war is largely personal, due to absence of supervision. At personal
level those who use their own conscience to know right from wrong, and abstain
from acting ‘wrong’ earn positive karma. The reason for this is embedded in the
saying ‘all is fair in love and war . We use our conscience which is the basis
of our belief. Belief is soul power.
Those
who celebrate war-victory against fellow Sri Lankans is unregulated to the extent
common resources wereused to wound and kill
on personal basis – as if for personal pleasure. Laws and Rules help prevent such
personal pathways being taken.
The
government and especially this President have their share of unregulated pleasures
of war. But the reason why it affects the Sinhalese is their own failure to
discipline that government through their votes.
I am
a Tamil, and during the time the value of the Sri Lankan rupee started dropping
we sent money through the banking system. This was largely towards post-war development
work through structures developed by us. Those who are now hesitating to send
money through the banking system are confirming that they have failed to
contribute to the official system and that they have their own ‘unofficial’
system.
The
foreign debts from India and China , to the extent they come from the common citizen’s
money – becomes a curse when it is not settled. Australian Government also donated money. If the current government
is trustworthy – all refugee applicants from Sri Lanka need to be sent back to
Sri Lanka. Otherwise, the current governmentis paying towards prolonging the war – possibly to oppose China.
Free
Monies need to be based on belief. Belief regulates us perfectly. Lack of
belief requires firm agreements for money transfers – be they between
individuals or governments.
Sinhalese
have inherited China curse and Tamils have inherited Indian Tamil curse but to
a lesser level. If LTTE had taken over North & East – Tamils also would
have gone bankrupt.

HEALTH PROFESSIONALS RIDING THEIR BIKE IN THE GAP?
02 July 2022
Gajalakshmi Paramasivam
A
Sri Lankan Diaspora leader in Australia sent me the following yesterday:
TWENTY SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION BILL
Ordered to be published by the Minister of Justice, Prison Affairs and
Constitutional Reforms PRINTED AT THE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING, SRI LANKA
TO BE PURCHASED AT THE GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS BUREAU, COLOMBO 5 Price : Rs.
72.00 Postage : Rs. 35.00 to amend the Constitution of the Democratic Socialist
Republic of Sri Lanka
A quick read confirmed that the
changes were largely to go back to Parliamentary system away from the Presidential
system. I could not identify with the amended constitutional after the proposed
changes. To me, structures are important in any institution. Most of us begin
with family structures. Positions are different parts of the structure. Laws connect
those different parts.
Within a Constitutional structure there are fundamental founding positions. In a
simple family structure – they are the Mother and Father. In the traditional
structure father represented the family to wider world and mother quietly
empowered the whole family through self-sacrifice. Those who sacrifice at
personal level – for the common good of all – are the mothers. It is the duty
of all those who are so empowered, to respect the mother – as we do with the
queen.
In
Sri Lanka, those who forewent earned benefits, including due to discrimination –
are the mothers. Those who represented their respective local institutions on
the basis of the whole group of believers– are the fathers. To the extent both
are true to the respective positions – the system would work on the basis of
Natural powers.
Given
that the President of Sri Lanka holds the Father position, the Prime Minister is
the mother who empowers the whole Parliamentary structure.
The
proposed amendments include the following:
[Article 44 of the Constitution is
hereby amended as follows:–
(1)
in paragraph (1) of that Article– (a) by the substitution, for the words “in consultation with the Prime Minister, where he considers
such consultation to be necessary-” of the words “on the advice of the Prime
Minister-”;
In
other words this confirms that the Prime Minister is the Mother who unites the
family/nation.
It
is now the duty of the citizens to vote for the father in Presidential
elections and for the mother in Parliamentary elections. In a strange way the
current leadership confirms this picture.
This
did not happen merely by voting process. It happened due to belief based Opposition
by citizens at their respective levels. Democracy is based on belief of the
Citizen. Autocracy is based on belief of the government. In the new Sri Lankan structure
President needs to be autocratic and the Prime Minister needs to be Democratic.
As per the Morning’s report headed ‘Health professionals’ group
seeks referendum on Constitutional changes :
[The National Movement of
Health Professionals (NMHP) has launched a public petition requesting a
referendum to introduce nine fundamental changes to the Constitution.
Speaking
to The Morning, NMHP Convener Ravi Kumudesh said that the
fundamental changes to the Constitution that are sought, include enshrining
United Nations (UN)-based human rights (HR); accepting diversity (racial,
gender, religious, disability); having an independent Judiciary, Police, civil
administration, and Election Commission (EC); limiting the maximum tenure of
all elected positions to four years; social responsibility for pregnant females
and mothers, the elderly, children, and the disabled; zero tolerance for
bribery and corruption; for the country to be a non-aligned, secular, liberal,
democracy; abolishing the Executive Presidency; establishing a common “Sri
Lankan” identity; and ensuring equal rights for all citizens.]
Many of these are already in the
Fundamental Rights section of the existing Constitution. They are Articles 10 –
17 in the current Constitution. The rest
are largely Political. This includes ‘Buddhism Foremost’ – Article 9 ‘Sinhala
Official Language’ Article 18 (1). Fundamental Rights section is about
protecting the Sovereignty of the individual and therefore the Nation. It is
also the Equal Opportunity Section of the Constitution.
I personally considered Equal Opportunity to be a fundamental right here
in Australia, where my Sri Lankan qualifications were not recognized even after
high performance was confirmed by me. Hence I took those concerned to Court and
even though the Courts dismissed me – I wrote my feelings in my book ‘Naan
Australian’. That book travelled via Congress Library to the National Library
of Australia. https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/7047419
I do not know whether it is in the ‘Fundamental Rights’ section of the
Australian Constitution. But to the extent I believe I am Australian and I
believed that the discrimination wasRace based, I exercised my rights. The rest happened naturally. That is
the way of Belief.
If
therefore every Sri Lankan citizen who believes s/he is Sri Lankan, and believes
to have been discriminated against on any
of the bases in the Fundamental Rights section, takes it up through courts that
would be a good start. If the Courts dismiss – the Applicant the Applicant must
publish the experience at her/his level. The rest will happen automatically.
That
is the way Prescription works. In Sri Lanka, this is covered by Prescription
Ordinance 1872. According to the Fundamentals of this Ordinance, Belief based
occupation / possession is above merit based purchase. Protests that are belief
based are the parallels of ‘Possession’ . Such protests need to be undisturbed
and uninterrupted, adverse to and independent
of the
official title-holder .
To
therefore be recognised as genuine, the National Movement of Health
Professionals need to confirm in Action that they
have satisfied all of the above stated ‘Essential Criteria’. They had their
Opportunity during Covid when Muslims were forced to cremate instead of burying
the bodies of their loved ones. At the moment they seem to be riding the bike
in the ‘gap’ in heavy traffic governance.

ONTARIO TAMILS HAVE DECLARED THAT LTTE WERE INDIAN TAMILS!
To
my mind, the Ontario Superior Court is the parallel of the High
Court of Northern Province, Sri Lanka.
The
points in the judgment that caught my attention are:
(i)[5]
Ontario is home to a large Sri Lankan diaspora, of which the majority are
ethnic Tamil Sri Lankans, and the minority are ethnic Sinhalese Sri Lankans.
(ii)[6]
These two applications, which I heard together, are brought by members of
Ontario’s Sinhalese diaspora and organizations representing Ontario’s Sinhalese
diaspora. Each application seeks a declaration that a statute passed by the
Ontario Legislature, the Tamil Genocide Education Week Act, 2021, S.O. 2021, c.
11 (“TGEWA” or “the Act”) is unconstitutional. At the risk of over simplifying
the legislation, at this stage, I observe only that it purports to encourage
Ontarians to educate themselves about the Tamil genocide and other genocides
that have occurred in world history
(iii)[7]
The applicants argue that the TGEWA is unconstitutional……..
(iv)[8]
Ontario argues that it is constitutionally competent to enact the TGEWA and
denies any violation of ss. 2(b) or 15 of the Charter. It is supported by party
interveners representing organizations and members of Ontario’s Tamil diaspora
What These Reasons are Not About
(v)[9]
Over the course of these applications, I heard evidence about the Sri Lankan
civil war, and specifically, whether or not what occurred amounted to a genocide of Tamils.
(vi)[10]
A finding of genocide at law can neither be made nor excluded based on the
record before me. Such a determination, under international criminal law,
cannot be made in a two-day application based on a few written affidavits from
individuals who were in Sri Lanka during the civil war and evidence from
dueling experts. I make no findings about
whether there was, or was not, a Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka.
(vii)[11] In this application, I am not
deciding who bears the blame, or who bears more of the blame, for the
tremendous suffering and trauma that occurred as a result of the Sri Lankan
civil war.
(viii)[12] Nor am I deciding whether it was wise for the Ontario Legislature to
pass the TGEWA. The wisdom of the legislation is a question that belongs solely
to the Legislature, and more indirectly, to the voters of the province.
(ix)[13]
The question before me relates only to the constitutionality of the TGEWA. I
confine my reasons to that issue only
Brief Conclusion
(x)For
the reasons that follow, I find that the TGEWA is intra vires the province and does not violate the applicants’ ss. 2(b)
or 15 Charter rights. As a result, the applications are dismissed.
This in essence means
that Ontario’s Tamil Community are confirming their belief that what happened
in Sri Lanka to Tamils was Genocide. If this were true, it means that every Tamil killed in the process
of war was of a particular ethnic group which
was different to that
of the group that the armed men and women who killed belonged to.
Hence, to Ontario
Tamils, LTTE were NOT Jaffna Tamils who elected Politicians who were subsequently
killed by the LTTE!
This would be true if
Indian Tamils got into the minds of LTTE. We call this koodu vittu koodu paivathu
கூடுவிட்டுக்கூடுபாய்வது– commonly
known as brain washing! Or brain sharing
A belief based declaration needs to balance from all
angles. Genocide is true only if some external force got into the minds of the
armed soldiers. They were Sinhalese as well as Tamils. Sinhalese are known to express
fears of Indian invasion. They would have ‘seen’ Indians by boat in Tamil
civilians. Tamil soldiers led by LTTE were also bought over by Indian politicians
such as MGR. If Genocide then India caused it.
If the above is a heritage, those who inherit
that experience would become the heirs of protestors against suppression of
sovereignty. All positive heritages carry sovereign values and merge naturally
with other positive heritages. They
oppose negative heritages.Both are
known not through the matter recognised as heritage but the minds of respective
heirs.
As per the current actions of the
Australian Cricket Team, they oppose the above heritage developed in the 1970s.
Chris Savage confirms this as follows:
[There’s something eerily dystopian about cricket continuing unscathed
while a humanitarian crisis unravels outside the gates.]
As per the above SBS report:
[Australian
anti-apartheid activists being honoured in a new exhibition in South Africa say
it is an important reminder of the power of protest.
The most effective
of the Australians' protests against Apartheid was the boycott of all-white
South African rugby and cricket teams in the early 1970s.
As a student
activist, Meredith Burgmann jumped the fence at the Sydney Cricket Ground
during the 1971 game between the Wallabies and the racially-selected
Springboks.]
Heritages form
naturally, when we sacrifice currently
earned by us through Due Processes. Due Processes are the pathways through
which we inherit the positive heritages. Heritages have perfectly balanced
institutional structures.They are our true constitutions.
If the current action
by the Australian Cricket team in Sri Lanka is considered to be of ‘positive value’ then the above heritage has
been abandoned by Australians. Part of the reason is the way Shane Warne was
recognised in relation to Tsunami services in Sri Lanka
["I just wanted to help, I said to
Murali, 'what can I actually do?'" Shane Warne told 60 Minutes at the
time.
"He said, 'you just being here will actually help.'"
Murali was right.
Shane Warne walked around the disaster zone with his iconic blonde
goatee and he was recognised by locals in some of the most remote parts of
Sri Lanka.]
As per my true standards, my report was
presented by me to the President who authorised the funds for construction of homes
for those who ‘lost’ homes in Mankerni in Batticaloa due to Tsunami which is an act of god/natural
disaster. Onlyperson with positive
heritage in the Sri Lankan system could have achieved this. That was NOT Shane.
Mine was naturally shared with Australians. Yet Shane was promoted due to his
cricket popularity. This naturally makes
an orphan of my heritage in this regard . Likewise that of the anti-apartheid heritage
developers.
Those who follow laws and rules against Racial Discrimination
would naturally carry that heritage of Sovereign structure with them wherever
they go. As per my measures – this team carries negative heritage and hence would
mind-merge with the government that is carrying similar genes through Buddhism
Foremost principle – the parallel of White Australia policy.
The Cause of the collapse is in embedded in this action of Australians and reception by Sri Lankans. Australians
represent the external money providers. Some
come as aid and others as loans that cannot be repaid. Both demote the status of
Sri Lanka to junior level. By claiming ‘sovereign’ status – we distance
ourselves as Equals. When we owe an alleged equal, and the debt cannot be repaid
– we become ‘outsiders’ – waiting to be taken over by giants.
China is considered a big giant waiting to take swallow Sri
Lanka. But that heritage came from many governments before the current one. The
BMICH was a gift from China:
That PM tried to implement Sinhala only as
official language. During the rule of his wife – this heritage mutated as ‘Buddhism
Foremost’ article in the constitution. This is negative heritage in terms of
articles that support Multiculturalism –
for example article 14 which is in the ‘Fundamental Rights’ chapter 3. Buddhism
Foremost is in chapter 2 – outside the
Fundamental Rights chapter. The naturally oppose each other. This President
activated Buddhism foremost and this naturally activated its opposition – of Equal Rights in Chapter3. Heritage is dormant
if we use current laws to maintain sovereignty. If not – the positive heritage will
surface to protect its heir/s of sovereignty. Where the current laws also fail
to protect Sovereign values – they also become negative heritages / genes and eventually
defeat the positive heritages. They are also acts of god. It is foolish to
expect cricketers who play to ‘win’ to offset / mitigate this pain and loss.
My search gave me the information that Dr Pethiyagoda is officially
recognised including by Australians. His analyses are structured to suit intellectuals.
The question is ‘Did these intellectuals foresee this collapse and if yes ‘what
did they do to prevent it?’ As per Wikipedia :
[On 22 June 2022, Pethiyagoda was
appointed Senior Policy Adviser to Sajith Premadasa, MP, Leader of the
Opposition of Sri Lanka]
This
confirms vested interest in opposing the Protestors. The Protestors are blaming
the whole Parliament for the collapse. The way they measure is ‘effects’ based.
One who is at policy level has the responsibility to measure through ‘causes’.
DrPethiyagoda blames Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa for the
collapse. The above picture taken in 2019 confirms to my mind – that Mr Premadasa
was in his mind, an admirer of Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa. When one genuinely and
through Due Process available opposes the government at policy level, one
becomes the true opposition of the government. That is how Democracy works, through
the exponential power of Truth. The best example known to me is Mahatma Gandhi
who became part of the labour class. He continuously opposed the British Government
at policy / causal level. His actions were in the form understood by labour
class. The invisible power was belief in Truth / God.
So far no Buddhist leader has highlighted
the imbalance in Buddhism Foremost article in the Sri Lankan constitution. This
means that at voter level, Buddhists would assume leadership over
non-Buddhists. By accepting Buddhism Foremost article since 1972 – Sri Lanka
became a Buddhist country where others were minorities. This President openly ‘showed’
that when he took oaths.
Eelam Tamils who in their minds
live in separated part do not have the power to Oppose this. Only Sri Lankans who
are neither Sinhala / Buddhist nationalists nor Tamil Nationalists have the
natural power to exponentially oppose as Sri Lankan Opposition.
Discussions around ‘going back to
the 19th Amendment level’ are futile. It was proven false by the
Constitutional crisis in 2018 which was within the period of governance of the
architects of the 19th Amendment. It was an act of protest by the Constitution itself.
The Buddhism Foremost article in
the 1972 Constitution was effectively to suppress JVP. It was NOT belief based.
Belief is Absolute power and hence spreads itself. A true Buddhist would have naturally
promoted Equal Opportunity principles – with or without constitutional support.
The law is like senior relatives who raise our standards to the higher level
than our belief. One who practices the law – would eventually believe at the
level of that law. Parliamentarians who act in breach of the law under cover of
their positions – keep lowering the standards of Sri Lanka to their levels of
belief. That is where this President failed by entertaining those who desired
wins over Tamil rebels. Given that this President confirmed commitment to Buddhist
community – while carrying the karma of violent war – he invoked the real
opposition of Sri Lanka – non-Buddhists. That was also a Constitutional
protests. As I say and have been quoted – a wrong becomes a sin once we give up
ownership. Sin – like covid – is exponential in its spread and cannot be
corrected through current ‘rights’. Only positive karma in this can offset the
sin.

WAR GENES OF TAMILS
26 June 2022
Gajalakshmi Paramasivam
Q byGuardian:Exploited in a crisis: why are Sri Lankans getting on
boats bound for Australia?
Answer by Australian Tamil - Dr Nadesan to Gajalakshmi
Paramasivam carrying mad-trespasser label in NSW– ‘Now coming to Nadesalingams, the most
loved family in Australia ( of course except you), the government did not want
to be asinine instead a logical, rational, humane establishment. That is
governance. Your stubborn stand of taking revenge from this most loved family,
you claim according to law, is nothing but an asinine, robotic attitude. Unless
you give up your stubborn, obstinate attitude, you are not going to salvage
yourself from these beliefs. One can take a horse to water but cannot make it
to drink. By the way, contrary to your malicious propaganda against me, I dont
endorse any illegal immigrants into the country but yet the laws have to be
revised and applied according to situations. If Rajapakshas arrive in a boat
what will you do. I can vouch that you will be there with kiri bath to welcome
them. 😆😆🥱🥱. So my friend this debate is only
about this Nades family.’
Obviously,
Dr Nadesan has taken senior position above Gajalakshmi who
has been demoted by the Australian Justice system. To my mind, it is the
parallel of Winston Churchill calling Mahatma Gandhi ‘half naked fakir’ . That is the
modus operandi used by outsiders pretending to be insiders.
Gandhi’s power was his
Truth. Gandhi renounced comforts of a professional life, to live with the
Indians of low status as one of them. But his mind was driven by the Absolute
power of Truth. On 01
November 2004 - the day the Waverley local Courts sent me to Prince of Wales Hospital – to
be assessed for mental illness, in relation to my Peaceful Assembly at the
reception of the Office of the Vice Chancellor of UNSW - Sri Lanka’s Daily News
published my response to Justice C.G. Weeramantry, former Vice President
of the International Court of Justice . It was headed ‘The
relevance of Ahimsa - a rejoinder’.
As
is apparent from the above response from a Tamil Medical professional – who used
it in an unprotected environment, the Sri Lankan status was made negative in
Australia – including within the Tamil Community in Australia. The
Registrar Dr Peter Vaux certified me to be mentally healthy and stated that I
was following in the footsteps of Gandhi. I learnt about the Daily News publishing
my response much later. But that is one of the strongest Indicators that
confirmed to me that I was being empowered by Gandhi. When we naturally
represent a group – we work on the basis of indicators.
The minds
of Austrian Tamils, brainwashed by Australian politics that elevates Nadesalingams who failed
to say ‘no to political favours’. That is how we repeat the ‘Stolen Generation’
karma.
As
per the Guardian article :
[As a Tamil, Jayan says the challenges he
faced in Sri Lanka remain, heightened by the country’s worsening economic and
political crises. But there is, he says, a “mafia” in operation, exploiting the
emergency, promising safe passage overseas, and demanding up to 900,000 rupees
(A$3,500) for a place on a boat.
“Local people talk about the change in
the government this year and they ask me to join in as a boat keeper. Some
people say that a successful landing in Australia is possible, but I refuse to
get on the boat because based on my experience the people are returned back.”]
That
is from the one who is experiencing the challenge as per his assessment of his
need.
Then
there is this from a parallel of Dr Nadesan:
[“People
are suffering right now because of this economic crisis,” human rights lawyer
and Sri Lanka’s former human rights commissioner Ambika Satkunanathan says.
“For instance, for Tamils in the north
and east of the country, the sense of insecurity that already existed –
particularly after this president returned to power – is exacerbated by the
current situation.”
Satkunanathan says there appears
to be an “industry” around irregular migration, run by cartels promising
passage to Canada [by plane] or to Australia via boats, which is exploiting
people in Sri Lanka who are already economically vulnerable or facing systemic
discrimination and oppression.]
The
word ‘appears’ confirms that the former Human Rights Commissioner did not have
the ‘indicator’ that comes from belief.
The
Industry is not limited to those who transport. They are actually the media.
The driving force is from the Tamil Community in Australia who are ‘profiting’
from the war. Every person who did not suffer as much as the worst affected
person in her/his local area and who failed to share in the compensation s/he
received through migration earns the curse of all those who suffered more than
they in their respective local environments. This in turn becomes a war-gene,
when we fail to correct it within the generation that had the war experience.
Be it
a problem or an opportunity – there are invisible and unknown forces / Energies that are
included in them. Cost plus the those Energies are the true problems. Benefits plus those Energies
are the Opportunities. In the case of Tamil Boat arrivals – political opportunities
have become Administrative problems. In turn – for Sri Lankan Tamils war
problems have become immigration opportunities. After all if the Australian
Cricket team went to Sri Lanka when that nation is experiencing political
crisis about which many leading Sri Lankan cricketers had their say –what is wrong with Sri Lankans coming to
Australia to get that comfort through a different pathway of belief? The latter
is true democracy – so long as it is driven by personal belief.

DIAGNOSIS – ECONOMIC CRISIS; CAUSE - UNKNOWN
24 June 2022
Gajalakshmi Paramasivam
[“Last Sunday, when a new mother
began suffering dangerous bleeding at a major Colombo hospital, an urgent call
went out to one of its main consultant anaesthetists.
The
mother needed to be rushed to surgery but the specialist was three kilometres
away, stuck in an hours-long line at a petrol station without enough fuel to
drive to the hospital.
She
started looking for tuk-tuks but couldn’t find one and even asked the police for
help to get to the hospital,” Yasuni Manikkage, another doctor at the hospital,
told The Sydney
Morning Herald and The Age.
The
above was about Sri Lanka , interpreted by an Australian. The parallel of it
happened to me here in Australia. I shared it as follows with the chairman of
our body corporate:
[Yesterday, you saw being wheeled out
by Ambulance staff. Below is an account of it as shared with a group of
doctors:
“Yesterday, after my writing
work and in the middle of cooking dinner for the family, I felt chest-pain.
Then I started sweating. Then I felt nauseous. I submitted to the Lord
first. Then I sought to call the ambulance but kept dialling 999 instead of
000. Both Param and our granddaughter who lives with us during her Uni studies
– were at work. I thought of my lawyer friend Viji’s father who called the
ambulance from a telephone booth – when he developed chest-pain. Then I felt I
also could do likewise. I left the front door of my unit open and then lay down
on the sofa. I heard the Ambulance. I had already given directions to ask the
office to let them in. It so happened that Param came at the same time the
Ambulance staff were asking about unit 906. I was taken to Prince of Wales
hospital.”
If I had been alone on the weekend or
after office hours, I would not have directed the Ambulance staff to the
office. This, as you know, happened when your then neighbour was trying to open
our door – thinking it was his. Then I raised the issue of us not being able to
get the Police up – without risking injury to ourselves. You fitted a camera on
the floor but did not resolve the problem. Yesterday’s incident is much more
serious – as it is a matter of life and death. One of the doctors in our group
said that in the case of one of their colleagues – they personally took the
patient to the hospital, as the ambulance was getting late.
As advised previously, our son said
that given the new lifts – it would be appropriate to facilitate our guests to
come to our floor. Pradeep said that the wiring would need to be changed but
that this would be easier done now when the new lifts are being installed. Relative
to that – Roof Garden and other comforts seem to be a luxury.
I am informing you because you are
the chairman of the community. If I fail to hear from you positively, I propose
to take the issue up with the Council. This may lead to other similar structures
getting a new, improved system.]
In the Ambulance and at the hospital,
I was asked to state the level of my pain on a scale of 1 to 10 – where 10 was strongest
pain. In both instances I said that to me it was the worst I had experienced.
Hence it was 10. Hence I called the Ambulance.
Then a medically certified Australian Tamil wrote :
Gaja,
I am sorry but not surprised of what happened to you. I am your scape goat to
put all the blame on me. From a mile I can assure you that all what you
had was a hysterical or a panic attack due to anxiety. I can put my bottom
dollar and say you had similar episodes in the past too. Now coming to
ambulance and hospital, with your complaints they have to take you in and it is
very basic, their believing you is besides the point. And soon with routine initial
examination they would have understood your problem and not an acute cardiac
issue at all. The rest is just reassurance, sympathy and empathy. By the
way in hospital they don’t treat anyone as a princess and instead as a patient.
]
A New Zealand Tamil wrote to the Australian
doctor:
[One thing I want to point out to you is
that it is unwise to diagnose or pre-empt a patient's sickness without
checking. One incident took place a week ago when 20 of our friends went out
for dinner to a Thai restaurant. The one who sat next to me was having his food
and suddenly collapsed. I immediately called the ambulance and the person who
answered me asked whether he was breathing. I said yes. They said they will
send the ambulance. We waited for 10 minutes but the ambulance didn’t turn up.
So I called again. They said your person is breathing so the ambulance is
attending other urgent cases so it might take a bit longer. I thought this was
not good & we drove him to the hospital. Thank God we did that. He
had anaphylaxis. If we waited for the ambulance for another 20 minutes
his life would have been in real danger.
All I am saying is that we don't know the
seriousness until we check. So you being a doctor please give her some
time to recover especially you mentioned she has the sickness before
too. I personally don't know you and lady Gaja but my humble request
is that let her recover first.
Please don't give overdoses.
All I am saying is that we don't know the
seriousness until we check. So you being a doctor please give her some
time to recover especially you mentioned she has the sickness before
too. I personally don't know you and lady Gaja but my

Please don't give overdoses. ]
In Sri Lankan Tamil, the above is stated
as follows:
The pain of the boy who cries that
the kanji (rice water) is lacking in salt and the boy who cries that his milk
is lacking in sugar must be taken as the same. The two are parallels and would not
meet.
In the above case in terms of visible
status – I am the parallel of Kinji-drinking boy. The Australian certified doctor
is the parallel of Milk drinking boy. Our respective feelings cannot be measured
on the same scale of 1 to 10.
Likewise, the feelings of Sri Lankans
and Australians would not meet.
When I had the problem, I relied on
the social aspect of low ranking officials in the hospital and elevated myself
to the level of Revenue Manager that I was at South Eastern Sydney Area Health
Service where I completed my service successfully. Hence my ranking was true
and not imaginary. The hospital staff would obviously be trained in such ‘mannerism’
. Some may wear it naturally and others as duty. But the way I took it was as
per my truth.
In the case of the New Zealand Tamil –
he called me a ‘lady’ - which
meanthewas a knight. This happened also with a
high-ranking Sri Lankan doctor who also disciplined the above mentioned
Australian Tamil doctor.
Sri Lanka’s economic collapse is the
diagnosis. The cause is not yet identified by Economic Doctors. In the
meantime, Sri Lankans are socially recognising each other as Royalty – thus
filling the vacancy created by the Bandaranaike dynasty and their heirs the Rajapaksa dynasty. It would therefore be counter-productive, if Australian
media treat Sri Lankans as ‘poor’. We make up for loss of money – through stronger
Human Resources.
The loss of money happened due to our
dependence on leaders who failed to trust the voters. I presented this as
follows to the group:
[More
than anything else he lacks the trust a doctor needs to have in a patient. They
say that we need to be honest with our doctor and our lawyer. In turn the
doctor or the lawyer has to trust us until s/he knows we are lying.]
In
Democracy, the voters are in the senior position. Politicians have the duty to
be honest with the voters and the voters in turn, have the duty to trust the
Politicians until they know that the politicians are lying. The group without
any official portfolio, that is currently protesting is such a self-governing
group.
When
more and more Sri Lankans become self-governing, we will learn to live within
our means by taking our earned position in global community – which gets Human Resources for money resources. Towards
this we need to believe in ourselves.
By reacting to ‘what
happened’ instead of finding out why it happened – Australians are insulting Sri
Lanka’s sovereign status. That is ‘cheap’ mentality which makes Sri Lanka a ‘Thavicha
Muyal’/ desperate rabbit that is easy to ‘catch’.
If the above is a governing conclusion,
and it is given effect immediately, the Democratic structure of Sri Lanka collapses.
One needs to identify with the truth in a manifestation, to be supported by
that truth. Truth being a universal power does the rest. This is my
understanding of the State of Nirvana that we believe Lord Buddha attained. In
this state, there are no rights or wrongs but just virtues and sins / positive Polar
and Negative Polar Energies .
As per Ranga Jayasuriya’s theory:
[First, for Sri
Lanka to come out of the current economic misery, a trilogy of factors should
converge: the Sri Lankan public, the political parties that would form the
alternative government and the international community. None of
them wants to deal with the incumbent president. ]
The international community is NOT a component making up the Sovereignty of Sri Lanka. This was presented as follows to a member
of Professional group of Sri Lankans including those living outside Sri Lanka,
in the issue of Boat Refugees to Australia:
[Until we exchanged
thoughts and feelings within a community group – where one trusted another,
that empowered and united us. But by repeatedly ridiculing me – which has
the effect of elevating your own status within the group – you have weakened
the sovereignty of this group – to the extent you have become dependent on your
seniority to survive. As a result this has come to the public forum through
media power.
Since we are both taken as being of the
same community by wider world, if I am marked wrong by wider world, you would
be marked right. Therefore Nadesalingams. If I am marked right – those who
practice the policy of turning the boats away would be marked
right. We both leave our respective heritages for our heirs in the community.
Your heirs will be boat people who breach the law and mine would be those who
practice the law. ]
Once the matter comes outside the local sovereign
borders – anyone in wider world is entitled to use the ‘outcome’ for their own
purposes. Their outcomes would be available for local groups to be used in
their own circle. But if the outside world is allowed inside – it means – we have
no confidence in our sovereignty. Once we lose confidence – we declare that we are
no longer a sovereign group.
In the case of Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa, if the People
feel that he did not deliver – they need to ‘wait’ until the next election to
confirm their lack of confidence in him. By declaring the ‘dismissal’ prematurely,
Ranga Jayasuriya has confirmed that he has
mentally taken over the position of President. This in turn confirms breaches of media ethics.
When the position of President is damaged – the system
collapse. Those of us who are self-governing maintain that position and the
Parliamentary system through our belief in the system. The current incumbent may
not fit that position – but we, through our belief – fill that gap. That is
true People’s power.
