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The party believes that this Constitution is outdated and it should be changed in keeping with today’s needs.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1978 constitution now attempting to cling to the Constitution” Daily Mirror report – under Subject heading Constitution outdated; needs to be changed: UNP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.

American Jews & Sri Lankan Tamils

A Sri Lankan forwarded to me a video (http://youtu.be/Zw9EhjyU3JU) about Zionist influence in America. I have heard from within the Sri Lankan Tamil Community that we were like Jews. Whether this is good or bad, I still do not know. But I do identify that excessive attachment to a particular Land leads to moving away from Sovereignty.  Money unconnected to Common Principles and Values – divides.

Recently, when discussing the Testamentary matter of my Brother in Law – Mr. Subramaniam Yoganathan of Vaddukoddai, a young Sri Lankan legal expert said that it would be fairly easy to get approval for Administrative Rights but not so easy for the approval of share distribution as per Thesawalamai Law. I said as far as we were concerned they were one and the same. The structure of Thesawalamai is part of Administrative rights. One without the other is disrespectful of Thesawalamai Law and therefore the intellectual capabilities of our Tamil ancestors. Without that higher thinking, Tamils do not have the right to claim Delegation on the basis of cultural diversity. Rebels who failed to pay their respects to our ancestors lost connection with the roots of the claim for self-determination. Every deviation from the core values of our customary laws leads to assimilation with one group or the other i.e. – Sinhalese on the one side or Tamil Nadu on the other.

In our above mentioned case – my husband is the youngest brother of Mr. Yoganathan who passed away in Vaddukoddai, in 2010. All except my husband are older siblings – one brother and two sisters. Mr. Yoganathan himself remained a Bachelor and as per Section 7 of Thesawalamai Law, his wealth – including his earned wealth becomes Muthusum/Heritage. Those who received dowry are not entitled to Muthusum. The two sisters claimed in Court that they did not receive dowry but only donation. The elder of the two sisters – Mr. Saraswathy Sabanathan wrote to Barclay’s Bank on behalf of all heirs. This information was withheld when her son asked my husband to write my husband’s share over to the two sisters. We were informed that the other brother Mr. Subramaniam Tharmalingam had already done so. My husband declined. When asked, Mr. Tharmalingam stated that he was asked to sign some papers and he did but without knowing the contents. He is married to the sister of Mr. Sabanathan.

To my mind, the way this matter is concluded would also go towards Tamil claim for Devolution towards self-determination. Upholding Thesawalamai values confirms our diversity. Without such diversity – there is no basis for   Vaddukkoddai Resolution 1976 through which Tamils claimed Independence from Central Administration. Practicing Thesawalamai values renders natural right to such a claim. Those Tamils of Sri Lanka who claim equal share of wealth as in Common Law system – are losing their connection to the root of our Diversity. The principle is that one who foregoes so others would live well automatically gets promoted to the higher position. Hence abstinence in Spiritual life. Hence to me – the ‘share’ earned by a son or daughter  who accepted and contributed to better living for his or her siblings – needs to be higher.   This is carried more by status first – as in surname and the balance through the residual money of the parents. Those who claim equal share are effectively voting in favor of Unitary State for Sri Lanka – without any recognition of cultural diversity.

In the case of my husband’s family – daughters were given dowry and greater efforts were made towards sons’ employment. The sister who wrote to Barclay’s bank was stopped from school to take care of homemaking activities. That sister was given dowry and continued to drawn on the resources of her brothers even after marriage. The other sister who is officially the petitioner in the above matter, did not make it beyond grade 10. At the primary level – the Tamil Courts did not see anything amiss with all this – confirming that they themselves have moved away from Thesawalamai which is the only system of law majority Northern Sri Lankans living in rural areas  have invested in. We have appealed the decision of the primary judgment and intend doing our best to ensure that the True value of the brother who passed away is upheld – through the law also.  I believe that Mr. Yoganathan who was largely self-governed, is owed that dignity including by the system of Thesawalamai.

Double dipping into Commonwealth – by one section automatically robs another of its entitlement. In terms of dowry – once the daughter is married – she is separated from the family so she would be free to include herself in the new system of her husband. I followed that system and helped my husband’s family. Had I helped my side of the family as a priority – then in terms of marriage – I am also following the General practice and not the Special diversity particular to  Sri Lankan Tamils. Jaffna Courts may or may not deliver as per Thesawalamai Law. If they don’t I would conclude that the Jaffna Judiciary would be better off with Unitary State structure rather than devolved structure which would isolate them without compensating vertical growth as specialists.

All of us carry intuitive connections through our investments in systems – beyond the call of duty. Where this intuitive power is weak – we need to have intellectual measures through which our brain structure is raised to the higher level. The higher the structure the stronger the commonness. Practice of  high order laws beyond the call of duty goes towards this intuitive power to connect to the roots where the motivational power resides. Hence root cause approach in problem solving.

Where Truth and Love are weak, we need greater investment in the higher intellectual pathway. If we limit ourselves to past practices while desiring to enjoy latest pleasures – we get scattered and become frivolous.

Caste Based Discrimination

Last year, we did not celebrate Thai Pongal at our family temple in Thunaivi, Vaddukoddai, due to a group of youth playing loud music in the grounds next to our temple. That other property which is behind the home of high profile  President’s Counsel Mr Kanaganayagam Kanag-Isvaran is privately owned. After demonstrating my self-punishment by cancelling the celebrations, I went to the Jaffna Railway station to catch the train to Colombo. On the way I stopped at Our Lady’s church which we as a family often prayed at. There I received Pongal/Sweet rice made  by the workers. I felt deeply touched and made the connection to that area being my home-area by birth. It was as if my mother who prayed ardently at that church and to whom I paid my respects before the loud music was played – was blessing me. But that incident confirmed to me the ‘gap’ between my ‘class’ and the class that the youth belonged to.

Given that matters seemed to have improved, this year I granted approval for the ceremony to take place as usual at the temple. Later yesterday, I learnt that the same group of youth had illegally tapped into our temple electricity to play all night music and that they had done that previously on Karthigai Theebam night also. The latter celebration is significant in that it falls close to or on the day Tamil Heroes are celebrated by LTTE supporters. One such hero was Tamil Militant Kittu, in whose name a Tamil film Maaveeran Kittu has been produce. Following is an excerpt from Wikipedia about this connection:

[The film began production in July 2016, with Suseenthiran revealing that the film was about a warrior who fought for the people’s rights in 1985 and in no way related to the former LTTE militant Kittu. The shoot was held in Pazhani for a period of fifty days. Suseenthiran stated the idea of making the film had come to him after a member of the public had approached him at a shopping complex and requested that he made a film on the plight of Tamil people. ]

As per reports – Kittu and his group committed suicide around this time in 1993 in the waters near Hambantota – the area where there is controversy over Land allocation to Chinese.

The low caste leader in the above film – chooses non-violence as the pathway to redeem his people. Kittu – his younger brother was dedicated to higher education and willingly followed his elder brother’s leadership. That is a good example of redeeming oneself from caste-based discrimination. But I was reminded yet again yesterday that the above youth of Vaddukoddai where the first Political Declaration of Independence was made in 1976 – was not free from unjust discrimination. The young youth above ‘feel’ free because they are isolated.

Unjust discrimination happens when we favor or punish someone beyond our position authority. I now realize that I myself was effectively practicing racial discrimination by accepting less than my due for work performed. When we favor someone beyond their official position dues and they happen to be of a different race to us and we do not know of a particular reason why – the most apparent difference is taken as the reason. This may be race for some, age for others and so on. It’s not different to road accidents. Whether the authorities accepted it or not – I declared my reasons – as per my Truth and hence freed myself from contributing to such unjust discrimination as an apparent Indian. Unless someone else can point to a more valid reason – I am entitled to be taken as per my declaration, so long as I have established loss of earned benefits and opportunities.

Often there is criticism of Tamil leadership on the basis of unjust caste based discrimination. I have put myself through the test of starting from zero base and limiting myself to the commonly known merit based measures – i.e. – those known to them. The discovery is that by isolating themselves – they have lost the connection to the higher pathways of intellectual discrimination and unless this is balanced by deeper faith in God – these groups are worse off than they were before democracy – especially in terms of participating in higher experiences.

In the case of the above youth for example, they idle most of the day and are on their cell-phones often handed down from their overseas relatives. Our sacrifices of earned benefits and opportunities develop natural structures in our minds. Welfare monies without strings attached and beyond real need,  lead to disorders of the mind by developing a false sense of authority through physical possession/majority vote.

Given that here in Australia, Equal Opportunity Laws specify no discrimination on the basis of race – we Australians have the duty to neither punish nor favor on the basis of race. Justice Gyles as per my observations did identify with my reasoning – explained as follows in chapter 28 of my book ‘Naan Australian’:

[Judges who take only parts of my history  deliver judgments that are misleading.  In my complaint – against Ms Milena Jurasek, (Appendix 14, item 2 ) the legal team hired by Ms Jurasek’s employer  grilled me with questions about my performance.  I successfully defeated them.  Then I questioned Ms Jurasek who was my supervisor in that casual job. Their defence was based on the claim that my performance was not satisfactory.  During cross examination I asked Ms Jurasek whether she would confirm that she signed my weekly time sheets?  Ms Jurasek said ‘yes’.   Then I asked Ms Jurasek whether it is mandatory for  officers to verify whether they have received the goods and services before certifying for payment.  At that point – Dr. Griffiths who had unsuccessfully cross-examined / grilled me on the basis that my performance was not satisfactory – objected to my line of questioning.  Then Justice Gyles who was hearing  the case said he would allow the questioning because he could see value in it.  Justice Gyles was still new to the Judge’s system and hence his mind was still more active in its discriminative thinking, than were the minds of most other judges who heard  my matters. Ms Jurasek said ‘yes’ that it was necessary to verify performance before certifying time-sheets.  Then Ms Jurasek said words to the effect ‘Gaja if you had gone along with  me I would have continued with your services’. Justice Gyles was also to hear my complaint against Professor Alice Tay – the  President of  the Human Rights & Equal Opportunity Commission which complaint included the President’s ruling on my complaint against Milena. At this point, Justice Gyles said that he would arrange for someone else to hear the complaint against Professor Tay. Justice Madgwick was assigned to hear that matter – but as usual – there was no affidavit by Professor Tay about her use of Discretionary powers and therefore – there was no room for Truth in that Court. Milena was holding lesser position and hence was facilitated to provide an Affidavit.  The Defendants in the latest Defamation case – who hold lesser positions than Milena – were facilitated to ‘escape’ providing Affidavits or direct evidence as witnesses – in which capacity they are compelled to speak the Truth. All they had to do was pay and escape – thus bringing shame to us – their sponsors and therefore their damaging their dignity as Australians.

 When we returned after lunch break -  Justice Gyles asked me the final question ‘According to you – was the discrimination conscious or subconscious’  I said ‘subconscious’.  Then Dr. John Griffith – Milena’s barrister – jumped up and said that his client was young and her career would be damaged through an adverse finding!  Justice Gyles also dismissed my complaint as lacking in substance!  With that Justice Gyles dismissed my expectations of merit based hearing and judgment. 

Hence when I complained in our Court this time – I did not expect to win. I was registering my experience – through the laws I had actually practiced.  The Registry is responsible to Administer the proceedings and Judicial Administrators who are able to control their minds to not use discretionary powers when we file our applications should have been able to deal with the technicalities. That is essential in a Democratic Court.]

When objectively measurable inputs and  outcomes are recognized,  the most apparent difference in looks is to be taken as the reason for discrimination until established otherwise through laws and principles common to both sides. At the lowest level – one recognizes matter independent of the mind. Hence only the objectively measurable outcomes are used to mark rights and wrongs.

Where there are active measures used towards common thinking, the participant with deeper investment in that measure must rule. If this participant is not the judge – then the Court has the responsibility to facilitate self-judgment. When this facility is denied to a minority power – the right to reverse discrimination is earned to restore Equality in status. Justice Gyles who is now reported to be  Independent National Security Legislation Monitor, would need deeper insight into the system of Natural Justice – which ultimately balances the system through its own independent pathway.

In terms of Sri Lanka, Caste based discrimination is not unlawful. To the extent Northern Sri Lankans practice caste based discrimination unjustly, their contribution to the ethnic problem and their claim to Racial Equality become negative. This is not limited to the higher caste over the lower caste but also the lower caste who practice reverse discrimination beyond their entitlement. The entitlement is limited to action to preserve one’s sovereignty and not to attack another’s. If we look within for solutions – we would take into account the actions of rebels beyond this limit which led to killing of Tamil Politicians by rebels who were mostly of lower castes than the Political leaders. Likewise at National level – by Tamils ‘telling’ the Sri Lankan Government beyond the level of discrimination pain experienced by Tamils – due to Government’s policies and inactions. Likewise Sri Lankan Government at Global level in relation to their complaint against the LTTE – calling them Terrorists. To the extent one recognizes unjust discrimination one must renounce one’s authority to judge and punish on the claim of Terrorism. A child can become a parent’s equal in status but never above the parent in status. When minorities / children take authority above the parent – such move goes against natural laws and hence we lose the support of nature to develop reliable solutions.

As for Thunaivi, Vaddukoddai – we would continue to live there and strengthen our home-feelings – so that the Common Land / Mother Earth would do the needful to share and balance – towards preventing future wars.

The President’s Mind

‘One-and-a-half-years after being appointed the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, R. Sampanthan will receive his official residence.’ – Colombo Telegraph on Thai Pongal eve 2017

‘Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa has been given a plush bungalow in Colombo 7 by the government.

The bungalow which was occupied by incumbent President Maithripala Sirisena when he was Minister of Health, has been renovated at a cost of Rs. 30 million to suit the former President’s taste.’ Colombo Telegraph on 02 August 2016

The ‘gap’ of 5 months confirms the irreconcilable differences between ethnic Law Makers in Parliament despite the Equal position of the Leader of the Opposition having been ‘won’ by Tamils. Recently, a young Australian said that an American manager was pulled up by their Human Resources Department, for paying a female less than her male counterpart. The American had said that she got what she asked for. I also did not ‘see’ and ‘ask’ for equal salary as my White Australian counterparts. Instead I followed the ‘waiting until given’ policy that I was groomed in. I did not however ‘wait’ to perform. I kept working as per my natural standards. It was much later that I realized that the benefits were accumulating as per my true contribution – as if I was the owner of the organization. Eventually I felt the urge to go to Courts and now I believe that the accumulated value of my ‘reserves’ had reached Policy level and hence I sued up to Prime Ministerial level.  It’s the parallel of Velupillai Prabhakaran waging war against the  thugs who attacked unarmed Tamil civilians during civil riots. The pathway through which we take action confirms our self confidence and the level at which we would be natural leaders. As shared through my book Naan Australian – Chapter 20 as follows:

[In addition, there were Natural events that confirmed the blessings of Divinity.  On 14 April 1999 – the day I complained to Mr. Bateman there was a severe Hailstorm in Sydney. As per Wikipedia: ‘The 1999 Sydney Hailstorm was the costliest disaster in Australian insurance history, causing extensive damage along the east coast of New South Wales.  The storm developed south of Sydney on the afternoon of 14 April 1999 and struck the city’s eastern suburbs including the central business district, later that evening’

On 21 September 1999 – the day Ms Carol Kirby sent me her first letter threatening legal action also there was hailstorm – a mild and unexpected one in our area.  I was praying seated on a couch with the Cross in my lap.  That was when the hailstorm happened.  A little later, my husband handed over the letter from Ms Kirby – which he had picked up from the mailbox on his return from work.  Later I connected to its significance as follows:

During this period I had already started reading books about Sai Baba and one was by Dr. John Hislop – a devotee of Sai Baba. In that book Dr. Hislop reports  that Sai Baba gave him a Crucifix  (pictured above) made from natural twigs.  Dr. Hislop continues :

Within a few weeks we were back in our home in Mexico and were soon to witness an amazing series of events in relation to the crucifix. ….. [One day] the time was about 5 P.M. On this afternoon, the sky along the Mexican coast was clear and peaceful. But suddenly without warning, there was a loud crash of thunder and as our eyes turned towards the windows, lightning flashed from a dark cloud where a moment before there had been only clear sky. A violent wind rushed through the house, causing windows and doors to open and shut with such force that the glass was in danger of shattering. The curtains were flying in all directions. We were much startled by this turn of events, but my wife at once said, "It is 5 P.M., the time Christ died on the cross, and what is now happening is described in the Bible." She later brought a Bible and we looked though until we found the pertinent paragraph, which said that at the moment Christ gave up His life, a violent storm arose with lightning and thunder, and winds rent the curtains of the temple. We concluded that we had witnessed a wonder totally beyond our power of imagination. Before our eyes had occurred nothing less than a recapitulation of events related to crucifixion. The following day, newspapers in San Diego carried a brief story commenting on the sudden and mysterious storm that had arisen without warning on the Mexican coast, near Ensenada. ….A year or so later, I sent a description of the event to Dr. Eruch B. Fanibanda for his book, Vision of the Divine. He showed the memo to Baba. After reading the memo, Baba said that the event had occurred as described and that the significance attributed to it was correct.’

I felt comforted that the hailstorms on these two days were of significant in terms of my own experiences due to my sharing of Truth. It was not a conscious thought  - but more an intuitive one. 

During the April 1999 storm – the (UNSW) Medical Administration building was damaged and hence the accounts staff had to move to Central Office – within Chancellery building.  That was where I went on 19 April 1999 to ask for the Financial Reports of Liverpool Clinical School. (Appendix 3) I was insulted further and hence when the Liverpool Clinical School connection I saw when I learnt about the Hall matter.

After being attacked by the Central Office staff, I was sharing the experience with Loraine Brooks – who was then the Administrative Officer of the School of Anatomy which also had hired me on contract – when a lady walked in and said that she was looking for space and could not find any (due to the storm).  The lady said she would take the matter to the very top! This lady kept saying it again and again and I felt that she was talking to me – urging me to take matter  to the very top. Back then, I thought it was the CEO of the country. But now I feel that the lady was asking me to take it beyond that to the real Higher Powers who recognize Truth above all else. The legal processes helped me submit to Divine Powers as per my belief – after following Due Process through the Human Justice system.

Gradually I realized that my actions were endorsed by Natural Justice. To the extent I recognized  Natural Justice as the Highest Power – I was able to identify with the outcomes that included the value of my work.  The reward for me came from various other quarters. The highest reward was the realization that I was my own judge and towards this I had to complete my other relationships where due to my position – I had to accept others’ judgments. The beauty of this realization is that it’s continuous return from all angles.  I believe fully that each one of us is capable of attaining this ‘free’ state – by living within our Truth.]

If the Hon Rajavarothiam Sampanthan is also accumulating such credits – then that is good for Sri Lanka. But his primary job is to Oppose the Government where there are process errors and to  complete the political picture by drawing the other side picture to the one drawn by the Government, so the matter deserves to be promoted to Administrative level – and be open to participation and learning by all.

In Hindu philosophy – we recognize manifestations as Physical, Mental and Spiritual – represented by the Holy Trinity – Brammah, Vishnu, Shiva. At the physical level we have to have clear demarcations of privacy / the particular. At the Spiritual level there is no such demarcation at all.  At that level – the Energy spreads of its own volition. Pranic healing which is practiced in Australia also – is based on this belief that the Spirit is eternal. Most indigenous groups rely on this Natural pathway. The mind is a combination of matter and spirit/soul/consciousness. The translation of the three stages in Governance are: Politics, Administration and Governance. Those relying on Politics and majority vote – therefore are likely to abuse position power in Administration and their contribution is not likely to reach Governance level – where we are the Government and we are the People.

Mr. Sampanthan has won the position of Opposition leader through the Administrative principles of Democratic Government. It is his DUTY to Oppose the allocation of benefits to a self-appointed Opposition – Mr. Rajapaksa in this instance. I cannot visualize the Hon G.G.Ponnambalam accepting such a situation. It is in fact unlawful and yet no action has been initiated by anyone.

I am not aware of a Shadow Cabinet by TNA. Separation at this stage would lead to internal war between Tamil rebels seeking quick outcomes and Politicians who seem have gone to sleep.

Take the Hambantota Land issue with the Chinese for example. As per the New Indian Express:

[A Sri Lankan Supreme Court case filed by Joint Opposition MP Vasudeva Nanayakkara, challenging the way in which the government decided to give 80 percent stake in the Hambantata port to a Chinese company for 99 years, will decide the fate of the controversial and politically explosive deal with geopolitical implications.

The case is coming for hearing on Friday, Nanayakkara told Express.  ]

Why did TNA not take that action? Lack of confidence due to the war? In the meantime, the Hon C.V.Wigneswaran who is Mr. Nanayakkara’s relative in law – is busy moving laterally in countries where Tamils have political power. http://www.thetamilmirror.com/cm-c-v-vigneswarans-speech-at-brampton-city-council-jan-10-2017/

Where the heirs of Tamil Administrators who achieved wisdom in Administration with the little resources we had?   That self-governance power is there for us to tap into any time anywhere.

The current Sri Lankan Government is strongly driven by the mind of former President and this would continue so long as the current Government continues to dwell on LTTE’s Terrorism label to evade wholesome civilian Administration. So long as Sinhalese separate themselves as a Community – they would remain in war-mode led by the Rajapaksa mind. Tamils would continue to react at that level. Civilians need to seek and find self-governance by realizing Truth in all their activities – using the civilian pathway. A member of minority community who realizes national ownership before a parallel member of majority – confirms strong wisdom in Administration. Self Governance in any part of Sri Lanka would naturally spread Itself to the whole and beyond. Until then we do not have the moral authority to propagate ourselves to increase man-power – including Canadian man-power. Many Westerners are learning from Easterners – especially the Spiritual Easterners. They would have  come to Northern Sri Lanka if the leaders there had escalated their contribution to self-governance level.

End of Reconciliation and Beginning of Opposition

Tomorrow – 14 January 2017, we Hindus celebrate Thai Pongal – a festival to celebrate harvest and say ‘thank you’ to Nature through the Sun. Sri Lanka as a Nation is yet to say ‘thank you’ to any higher power for harvesting harmony. There is much discussion about War-Crimes inquiry as well as about Reconciliation. But what is the objectively measurable target that all of us could identify with? Is it a Constitution that satisfies all genuine stakeholders? Is it the Economy confirming financial independence? Is it greater power sharing? How is the Government leading this process? Truth will satisfy all but it may be a bitter pill to take. In the alternative – we need to work out the most common laws applicable to each autonomous group. Autonomy at the earned level of leadership promotes progress.

The following is an excerpt from the speech by Minister for Foreign Affairs the Hon Mangala Samaraweera at Chatham House, on this subject matter:

[Even though there were divergent views within the government regarding the participation of foreign judges in the proposed judicial mechanism, there was a clear consensus across the board on the need of an independent and credible domestic mechanism as promised by the manifesto of President Maithripala Sirisena, Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera said.

Speaking on the Sri Lanka's reconciliation process at Chatham House, he said as a democratic and sovereign government, Sri Lanka would work out the architecture of such a mechanism in consultation with all the stake holders.

“Although the violence ended in May 2009, the healing of wounds of over two decades of conflict, achieving reconciliation and national integration, catching up on economic progress and development that eluded us due to conflict, and ensuring non-recurrence, remain challenging tasks for our Nation.  Similarly, the tasks of improving governance, institutions, rule of law, and putting in place necessary measures to strengthen, promote and protect individual rights; while ensuring the dignity of all and building a truly national identity while preserving our pluralistic society – remain work in progress,” he said.

He said Sri Lanka was committed to the implementation of the resolution which was co-sponsored by Sri Lanka in 2015 so that as a country Sri Lanka could deal with the past honestly and truthfully, accept that past, put it behind us, and then move forward to build our Sri Lankan nation anew.]

The two main groups in conflict are the Sinhalese only and Tamil only groups. Majority Sinhalese are Buddhists and majority Tamils are Hindus. Both accept the system of karma and rebirth. As per this system, one cannot ‘put the past behind us’. The past has to be escalated to the highest possible level – so it cannot become part of future in that form. There needs to be new form and hence rebirth.

If we do not resolve a problem during its current period, it travels with us as our genes. It is therefore important for us to resolve as much of the problem as we can, through the Common Laws known and practiced by the lowest grade on the official side to this conflict. This part of the inquiry is the responsibility of the Central Government.  Where violence happened without application of common order – the responsibility rests with the respective religious institutions and/or the respective provincial councils – to inquire into internally and bring about improvement in the practice of  the respective religion and / or local laws that lead to belief in form common to the group.

An ‘internal mechanism’ is not likely to find fault with its own side – and hence needs to be read as an opportunity to strengthen programs and procedures of the Government.   Much of the Tamil side would need to be addressed by Tamils within Common guidelines of the Government and the Constitution. The ‘punishment’ has already taken place and hence the Tamil side’s contribution would largely be towards non-recurrence.  Separation on the basis of recognized un-reconcilable issues is essential for maintenance of harmony. They are confirmed by objectively measurable outcomes that are wrong as per Common Law and were manifested by one side without any supervision by Common Authority or Equal Opportunity for  the other side to access resources.  Often abuse of authority happens by the one with higher status unjustly reducing the other side’s status through one sided actions and expressions.

The Sri Lankan Foreign  Minister was speaking at Chatham House.   The Rules for which this House is known are that the particular identity of a subject is not revealed during discussions of a subject matter. This is necessary in International Communication, to prevent one side taking authority over another by enforcing rules and / or information relating to outcomes to which others are not a party. As most of us know, the Sri Lankan Government removed all international monitors to clear their ‘supervision’ and thereby acted as the sole authority to eliminate the Tamil Tigers. This would have been just and fair if the issue had not been escalated to world authorities including the UN.  To remove the UN after the status of Tamil Tigers and therefore the Tamil Community in that area had been demoted – is like eliminating one’s parents once one is able to earn one’s own income and status. As per the records Sinhalese king Kasyapa buried alive his own father. Hence the Sinhalese Royal mind order would carry the force of that karma also. The Land where this happened would carry reverse discrimination karma until the land becomes ‘home’ to one with greater positive karma in orderly conduct of hierarchical power.

Authority over another is officially through Common principles until known otherwise. The Rajapaksa regime for example has been exposed extensively for deviating from the rule of law. They therefore lacked the official authority to make subjective decisions. Natural / Moral authority is accrued by us sacrificing our earned benefits and assets – including status – for another and/or for common purpose – as in the case of parents. Those who so sacrifice – without expectations of any return benefits – get naturally promoted to the higher position and have natural authority to act as per their own conscience in regards to the other person. The members of Sri Lankan Armed forces who did not stay within their official authority did not have this Natural authority over Tamils due to cultural separations over many generations.

Unless there is a strong force to lead the Common group – we are back to square one – needing separation below the lowest common order demonstrated by the Government. Enough time has lapsed for Reconciliation to happen and it has been happening. The rest of the problem needs to be identified with, highlighted and taken as the source of Opposition by one group against the other.

In Democratic team management – we often operate as Multi-Disciplinary teams.  Planning in turn is structured around technical design – for example National Security in the case of Sri Lanka but the role of all other aspects that make up the organization / nation also need to be consciously recognized and included in the overall plan. Each discipline – for example Human Rights discipline; Economic Development discipline; Accountability discipline – all need to be integrated into the plan at equal status. Many of the support services would not be visible through their outcomes but would strengthen internal cohesion through common processes and confidential sharing. This approach would take the focus away from Sinhala only and Tamil only pictures. The Truth about these needs to be identified with in the new structure of global standards. That Truth will lead us from within – especially if it is not surfaced to disadvantage one group against another. Truth always unites minds – even when the bodies are separated.

The current Political formation where Tamil Political group is the Leading Opposition happened due to our Truth. Tamil Politicians need to represent all minorities in Common – so that there is Equal Opposition to majority in Parliament. When such opposition includes Sinhalese Politicians – to form Common Opposition – that formation is the picture of the solution we need.

Kathirgamam to Save Hambantota

‘India won, China nil as Sri Lanka turfs out Rajapaksa’ – Sydney Morning Herald 22 January 2015:

 

‘Despite Delhi's protestations, diplomats and politicians in the region say India played a role in organising the opposition against pro-China Rajapaksa.

His successor, President Maithripala Sirisena, has said India is the "first, main concern" of his foreign policy and that he will review all projects awarded to Chinese firms, including a sea reclamation development in Colombo that would give Beijing a strategic toehold on India's doorstep.’

Two years later – one could conclude that China has found its way in through Mr. Sirisena’s Government. As per our Australian media – Sri Lanka has become the regional turf for the play between  Hindu India and Buddhist China. Given that Buddhism is part of lawful discrimination  in Sri Lanka, as per Article 9 of the Sri Lankan Constitution, one must expect hidden forces to surface themselves when even one side surfaces its expectations to use Sri Lanka towards regional power.  When a country fails to uphold its Sovereignty it is at risk of being taken over by the stronger players of the region. The player with most investment in Sovereignty is supported by Natural forces. Religion is an official pathway to invest in that country where religion is part of the law.

‘Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa today took to his official twitter account to host a question and answer session.

During the session, twitter users questioned MP Rajapaksa about the possibilities of contesting the 2020 Presidential Election.

MP Rajapaksa in response said he will support the decision taken by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.

Commenting on his Presidential Election defeat in 2015, the former President said there were many reasons behind his downfall however said he is prepared for the future.

MP Rajapaksa meanwhile said the present opposition is focused on working with the government to influence the decision making process, thereby supporting the masses on critical issues. MP Rajapaksa noted he is prepared to face a future election with a powerful joint force that represents the people’s will.

Commenting on the establishment of the Police Financial Crimes Investigations Division, Former President Rajapaksa said FCID is an illegal entity adding under a future administration it will be investigated and will prosecute perpetrators of the Yahapalayana government.

In conclusion, the former President hailed US President-Elect Donald Trump stating he will lead US through a new foreign policy that will respect sovereignty of nations.’ MR ON TWITTER Q&A: ALLOW FUTURE LEADERS TO EMERGE – by News Radio

If  America did respect the Sovereignty of Sri Lanka, it is highly likely that those within the region would invade through the leader that they could ‘influence’. It’s when Sri Lanka values its Sovereignty that it would have its own mind to prevent external influences and interferences. Given that majority Sri Lankans do follow a religion – their investments in their respective religions would naturally bring the external forces into the country when Sri Lankans as a whole fail to identify with their own Sovereignty.

Rule by majority is based on laws of Nature. Truth of majority, when given form, would help maintain that Sovereignty. Had the former President been true to himself, he would not need America’s support to confirm Sovereignty of Sri Lanka. As per the above report:

‘Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa today called on the Sri Lanka Freedom Party to allow future leaders to emerge to take the country forward.’

One of the leaders groomed by the former President is his own son who represents the People of Hambantota. Given that Mr. Namal Rajapaksa is reported to be not respectful of the law – one has to conclude that the folks of Hambantota are also not respectful of  the law. Hence it is highly likely that their Truth would not surface through laws based on their own experiences. Hence their land becomes the playing ground of external forces.

Ultimately – we are all bound by laws of Nature. Where we have not applied the laws of the Nation  to rule / judge, we would go into the system of Natural Justice at an early stage. Those who are true to themselves would identify with the karmic connection as to why their land is being taken over. Our former Australian Prime Minister the Hon Gough Whitlam said when he was dismissed by the Governor General ‘Well may we say "God save the Queen", because nothing will save the Governor-General!’.

The parallel for Sri Lanka would be ‘Hindu Rama came to Sri Lanka to eliminate Ravana – the Tamil Yakka king ; Buddha also came to free the beautiful land from the evil doing Sinhala Yakkas; but Yakkas of Lanka remain undefeated. Only believers of Skanda Murugan of Kathirgramam have the power to internally manage the two Yakka groups’

Note:   (1)  Kathirgamam is close to  Hambantota.

 (2)  Government News Portal report: [Today is Duruthu full moon Poya Day. The important significance of Duruthu Full Moon Poya Day, marks Gautama Buddha’s first visit to Sri Lanka.

During the sixth century B.C. in the ninth month after his enlightenment, nine months after his Enlightenment, the blessed one visited Mahiyangana. His mission was to restore peace, to create a state of freedom from war or violence. The old chronicle Mahavamsa records and states "To free the beautiful land from the evil doing Yakkas"]

Government Sponsored Invasions

‘Out went the British and In come the Chinese’

By accepting the unlawful punishment by the Australian authorities, including the Judiciary, after doing my best to manifest results as per the Law, I have  learnt to become independent of them. From that point onwards I am driven by my own conscience.

In many ways one could conclude that  journalist,  the Hon Lasantha Wickrematunga, died for expressing his discoveries as per his conscience. On Sunday 08 January 2017 we here in Sydney – celebrated Lasantha’s life by gathering at Lady Macquarie’s Chair. Tamil Diaspora leader, Vasee Rajadurai who organized the arrangements said that he himself left Sri Lanka whereas Lasantha stayed put and fought to uphold his Truth.  Lasantha’s brother Lal Wickrematunga who was with us shared the deepest of feelings – and said that his brother had said that researching and writing becomes an addiction. I identify with it through my own experience of sharing my Truth. Lal writes also through the Colombo Telegraph article ‘Lasantha Lives…In Our Hearts’ :

‘Our father passed away four years after his murder. He was heart broken. Our mother yet speaks as if he lives. The rest of the family grieves. His friends grieve. Yet, we are proud of him. He is bigger in death than when he was alive. Someone saw to it.’

Often my family also feel anxious about my ways of sharing the Truth. But one has to bury personal attachments to benefits including to good name from family to become independent of  maya / delusions and have the real experience of Nature / Truth / God / Love. Even as the others highlighted Lasantha’s good qualities – I identified with some of them in me – and felt that I was one of Lasantha’s heirs/partners in releasing Sri Lankans from their addiction to welfare dependence, through public reporting and sharing. More importantly I identified with Lasantha being lonely in his pursuit of Justice. Not many of us who praise Lasantha today were with him physically back then – to show that Lasantha was not alone. That ‘attitude’ continues and we could expect more such losses of genuine contributors.

When we are lonely, we tend to give up on taking care of ourselves. That is also a lesson we need to learn and ensure that the leaders through whom we identify with ourselves are never lonely. If we have public status – we need to share that status with such leaders. If we do not have much status we need to confidentially demonstrate that the person is our leader – by attributing total credit to that person for whatever we have. Such surrender becomes absolute power.

As a person ‘free of any vested interest’ I feel that Lasantha lives through not only human  bodies but the ‘freedom’ that Sri Lankans facilitated themselves to by dismissing the Rajapaksa regime. To my mind, it was no coincidence that the old regime was dismissed on 08 January 2015 – on the 6^th Anniversary of Lasantha’s death. As per Wikipedia report:

‘ Minister of Mass Media and Information Keheliya Rambukwella confirmed that the election would be held in January 2015…….

21 November: Sri Lanka Freedom Party general secretary Maithripala Sirisena defects to the opposition and announces he would run against Mahinda Rajapaksa in the coming election. Election commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya announces that nominations would be taken on 8 December 2014 and that the election would be held on 8 January 2015’

All of the above participants contributed to the punishment/dismissal of the Rajapaksa regime – through their Truth. To me in addition, the current protest against Chinese occupation happening during this Anniversary period, confirms the validity of Lasantha’s warnings.

In the Forbes article ‘Violent Protests Against Chinese 'Colony' In Sri Lanka Rage On’, Wade Shepherd contributes as follows:

‘During a recent visit to China, Sri Lanka's former president Mahinda Rajapaksa warned that there could be mass public unrest in Sri Lanka if China was to carry out its plan to take over the Hambantota deep sea port and create a nearby 15,000-acre special economic zone. While the former president has not been hesitant to publicly heckle his country’s current administration, who unexpectedly ousted him in early 2015, he seems to have been on point here:

Earlier today, as the ceremonial first brick of what has now been dubbed the Southern Industrial Zone was laid in Hambantota, the place erupted in violet protests which left more than ten people hospitalized and many others incarcerated.’

The Truth has manifested with the armed forces fighting against the Buddhist monks – making a mockery of Article 9 of the Sri Lankan Constitution, according to which Buddhism is the foremost religion in Sri Lanka. Buddhist monks protesting as a group therefore needs to be taken as a priority right. The failure to find a non-violent solution confirms that Article 9 is not practiced by the current Government also.

Lasantha lives through all protestors who are genuine in seeking to protect Sri Lanka for Sri Lankans. It is therefore rather disappointing to read the following:

[ As per The New Indian Express article ‘TNA to support Sri Lanka’s constitution-making despite internal dissent :

The TNA, which met twice last week, decided to accept leader R.Sampanthan’s advice that despite doubts about a getting a favorable outcome from the constitution-making process, the process should be supported because there is no alternative to it.]

It matters not whether we get what we specifically ask for or not. Tamils are also fighting for Land Rights and against enforced occupation. One way of keeping this at Equal level of focus is to Oppose any move that would dilute our investment in Land ownership and privacy leading to self-governance. That way Southerners and Northerners who are genuinely seeking Independence and self-governance, would travel together as One-mid.

As per Bhagawath Geetha, we need to lose consciousness of benefits but do our duty. Now I better appreciate that by foregoing my earned benefits – I became an owner – with the ability to work the system through the Lord’s pathway. Ever one of us can contribute to self-governance directly through this system and have the Experience – so the support service happens at the right moment – even if we do not consciously seek it. If wrongs are not corrected within their current period they become sins and are outside the control area of the direct players. Higher beings of course can balance the system. It’s the duty of TNA as the leading Opposition to protest and taken the issue to the Lord’s system through the combined religious pathway. Then we would invoke natural forces to protect our Sovereignty from outsiders – or are the Chinese already ‘insiders’ due to Buddhism? As per majority rule – Buddhists in Sri Lanka are very much the juniors of Buddhists in China who amount to over 240 million – more than 10 times the total population of Sri Lanka.

The Government of Sri Lanka has weakened the Sovereign borders of the Nation and allowed their own religious group to become juniors in the region. That is the power of Truth. It takes away the powers that we fail to value and protect.
