In a complete flip of the tune played to media on the night he was released – claiming he will spend his days engaged in meditation and contemplating dhamma – BBS Gnanasara now says he has decided to resume his activism upon seeing the hopeless and confused looks on the face of the youth.
Gnanasara made these remarks to media during his visit to Kandy Malwathu and Asgiri temples last evening, where he told media he was genuine in his claims when he said he wished to spend his days in meditation.
“I was truly exhausted and was genuinely wanting to spend my days in calm and quiet; engaged in dhamma and meditation,” he told media while being surrounded by fellow members of the BBS. “But I saw the confused looks in the faces of youth who came to see me and some even wrote that when I was released, they felt as if their father had returned home…”
“My heart fell, I felt very emotional – how can you ignore when children say such things?” he added.
So, throwing all caution to the wind, Gnanasara says he has decided to become ‘active once more’.
“I told myself there is no time to rest, no time to engage in dhamma and meditation…Attaining nirvana can wait. Now we are in a race against time to be proactive until this danger moves away,” he added.
Meanwhile, responding to a question posed by a journalist of possible entry to politics, he said he is engaged in a form of ‘historical politics’ – a calibre that stands higher than party politics that change every five years.
“I beg of the thugs engaged in party politics – don’t rile me up and take this issue to unnecessary lengths,” he said while adding party politics are irrelevant to him and he is not a goon of Mahinda, Maithri or Ranil.

Monks have always been active in politics and for the preservation of Buddhism. Otherwise, the kallathoni hooligans from South India and Mecca would have destroyed Buddhism by now.

The mighty Sri Lankan army who claim to be the only army to have eliminated terrorism in the world who can’t handle and control a simple situation like a mob attacking the homes and business of Sri Lankan citizens shame what a disgraceful performance by the police and armed forces!
Next time they fail to stop these riots bring down international troops immediately to get the job done and train our forces while they are at it…

We, Sinhalese are descendants from Prince Vijaya who came here from Bangalideshaya (now Bangladesh). Shall we all go back to our land of origin, chase the Moslems to Mecca, Kallathoni Tamils to South India and leave this country to its original inhabitants the Veddas? Remember, Buddhism came from the upper portion of the Kallathoni land called India. We can either take it with us or embrace the religion of our land of origin Bangalidesh. What do you say, Rt and Lt. Reginald Shamal Perera?

Tamil from the north / May 28, 2019
Hello Retarded bugger, you bugger have things incorrectly wired in that little scull of yours.
Your beliefs;
•Tamils are from South India and we came to take your land.
•Muslims are from Mecca and they came to take your land.
•Sinhalese are the natives and the rightful owners of the land.
Here are the facts to a fellow who amounted to nothing in life and ended up an all time loser;
•Native Veddahs are the rightful owners of the land.
•The Tamils and the Sinhalese are invaders of this land and crossed the Indian Ocean on boats. One came to conquer and the other was chased out with his rowdy friends by the King.
•Muslim is a religion, not an ethnicity. By the way the Muslims are Tamils as well.
•Tamils came from South India and the Sinhalese came from Orissa.
Question:
•How did a gamarala bugger like you end up with a western name? Maybe change your name to Galgoda Gnanasara Banda Upatissa Gamanayake Rohana Wijeyaweera Warnakulasooriya Patabendige Upula Perera. This is more of a fitting name for a fool like you.
•Who are you planning to attack next……….the Burgher community?
•Why are you threatened by the minorities so much? Are you buggers that insecure?
•If you had fought the 30 year civil war with the same valor you carry out keyboard warfare, you would have finished the war in 30 days. So what happened there?
•Are you at the Angoda mental hospital for the mentally infirm people? Did they give you a life long membership?

We can strife long to explain why Gnanam was released at this time. But can we explain why Hezbollah is promoted with additional jobs? Isn’t promoting Hezbollah a similar action to hiring ISIS to attack Tamils Churches? Sinhala Buddhist Modayas are not able to manage the country. If there is one two knots and tangles in a string, they are able to make it as Idiyappa tangling, but cannot unknot even the lightest. They are blaming LTTE war, which started 30 years after freedom and ISIS terrorism, 71 years after freedom.
1. They disenfranchised and sent out the Tamil workers 70 years ago.
2. Burghers left the country 60 years ago.
3. JVP started 50 Years ago.
4. LTTE started to 30 Years ago.
5. They started to send out in large amounts local labor force to Middle East 20 years ago.
6. Last 10 years of efforts (from Aluthgama) has fruited in ISIS now.
Long Live Sinhala Buddhist Modayaism in Lankawe! (But Tamils need to get out this maze)

blind servitude to people under trees, who are economically producing nothing of value have resulted in a country with low economic output and thinking. the general trend of burning businesses due to infractions with other communities though buddhist are the main employees, shows what regard the yellow robes have for there own worshippers. Yellow robes who dont pay taxes/no payroll/ no school fees or to put food on the table, basically no -resposibility have always created trouble for all people.
When kings ruled- The yellow robe was kept in place in the temple, if the yellow robe came to politics, his head was chopped off.

Venerable Gnnanissara is right on the Money..
The Ven Thero predicted it in Aluthgama and Spent time in Welikda,
While the whole Catholic community was demoralized with the destruction off their Holy Places in the Bible Belt.
–
The Army may have rounded up the suspects, but the Brains and the Bankers are being protected by the PM as well as the President.
–
Dr Ranil and his Boss in Parliament were joking and laughing when Sinhala MPs were trying to find out who are the Ministers in Parliament who may have connections to Terrorists.
–
The main suspect even boasted that he will keep the Opposition away from Parliament for 10 years.
–
UNP Senior Ministers are now openly telling the Masses that Buddhism must be eradicated from the Constitution as Lankawe is not a Sinhala Buddhist Country
When Sinhala Buddhists were not only the first to rush to Kochchikade but a few of them were there when the Islamists dropped in.
And it was Buddhist Monks who were with the Cardinal , when the whole UNP Catholic Ministers and MPs i were in safety lock up thanks to Digital Harin’s Dads Tip Off.

Parliamentary – what the committee is – had been appointed Last year or the year before. So, they with the old Rules Start the new one tomorrow just to Protect rishad Bathiudddin. Bathiuddin terrorist acts are all in the newspaper . Even then they want people to send information saying what Bathiuddin did. IF send they will study only the ancient FRAUDULENT acts like He buying rotten rice for SATHOSA. Finally answer means he did not do anything wrong and it goes until the elections are over in six months.
Wahhabis had imported two containers of Swrods. No one in Sri lanka knewit and IT did not come through the harbour ? Or it was brought as rice to SaTHOSA SO WAS NOT CHECKED. neWSPAERS ARE SILENT because their advertisement contracts will be stopped.

So he has decided to take advantage of the confusion that he saw on the faces of youth who visited him.
That’s sounds like pure evil. Buddhism could not save him.
To think that this man is using the compassion that some people have shown him to advance his cause to incite hatred and violence in this country is not surprising. He is determined to be vile. He is seeking a lasting legacy for himself in the history books.

“Who let the dogs out” is a popular song, is that just happened in Sri Lanka as well? Is this the deal Maithripala Sirisena made with Shobitha Thero so that he can be re-elected again? What appa is the President eating these days to dream of coming back to power again? A president who was pronounced by the courts that he violated the constitution is still in power without resigning. This President further pardons a monk who was sent to prison by the court for dishonouring a court! What sort of a country do we have SL?

The principle of non-violence is central to Buddhist teachings, but in Sri Lanka some Buddhist monks are stirring up hostility towards other faiths and ethnic minorities. Their hard line is causing increasing concern.

Well said holy sir. You are the type we need right now. Please go on the rampage and let us see more blood in Sinha-Ley. Have you informed MY3 gamarala about your new decision of postponing Nirvana aka Nirvanam for the betterment of the Sinhala Buddhists of Dhamma Deepa? Nirvanam can wait hamadurune? What we need right now is to fight the evils of Dhamma Deepa and bring the country to a stand still if we have not done already. My most humble request is for you to come forward as a candidate for the post of President of the Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Dhamma Deepa so that milk and honey will start flowing once again. Enough is enough swaminanase. You are too mild and soft following Buddha’s principles. It wont work. You must follow the Sinhala Buddhist Wahabism to save the mau bima. Just see that guy in Kurunegala who has done 8000 caesarian operations. That means he was performing at least one operation a day for 21 years non-stop. I think he should receive the Nobel prize for medicine and his sustained services to Sinhala women kind. One woman had claimed that she has gone blind after caesarian operation, a very rare side effect where eyes were mistaken for vagina by the doctor. I must find out from Rajitha as to whether he was appointed as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist for Sinhala Women only at Kurunegala hospital. I remember the most evil nariya JR had a special ministry of Women’s affairs to accommodate a ministry portfolio for a silly woman during the great dharmista aanduwa. Interestingly during Velu’s era we never had any para dhemalu dostharaya who did so many caesarian operations on sinhala women. But I am aware of an incident where sinhala breasts came in malu pettiya from Yapane and that led to tamil bashing.
