By N. Lohathayalan –
Neeraavi Pillaiyar Temple at Chemmalai in Mulaitivu District is a site of controversy as Sinhalese in the area try to take-over a Saivite temple. A Buddhist priest, a Kolampe Methalangathara Thera, who for long tried to make it a Buddhist Temple, had died two days ago of cancer. This priest who put the temple in a controversial position going to court where the case still on going, had lived on temple premises demanding rights over the temple. As a result of his followers now wanting to conduct his last rites on temple premises on 22 Sept., the people of the area have expressed great dissatisfaction and trepidation of the violence that may arise.

Another Buddhist monk is engaged with the assistance of the police in directing the rites on the grounds where he had lived. The temple is about 10 ft by 10ft in size. The rites are to take place a few feet away. The police have informed the Provincial and District Secretaries of these plans. The District Secretary confirmed that the last rites would take place as described here.
Army and navy personnel have been brought into the area in large numbers. Several folk from the South too have been brought into the area on invitation in many buses.
It is pointed out by many Saiva Hindus that they are deeply hurt and wounded by this callous and heartless majoritrianism. Indeed Buddhists and Christians of sound mind too are hurt said a Christian.
Residents fear violence. The temple management have told the police in writing not to allow this because a funeral on temple premises is a violation of Hindu law, both polluting and sacrilegious. The locals plan to protest if the Buddhists go ahead.
It is noted that the Election Commission has warned the Commission staff to be vigilant about attempts to disturb communal harmony along the coast from Mullaitivu to Amparai because such violence can easily spill-over into the presidential elections.
Seyed Niyaz Abdeen / September 22, 2019
This is wanton aggression by the Buddhist and the rule of law must apply to prevent unnecessary religious problems. The site can be taken over by the authorities and place it as a protected area so that no party can have a claim. for any religious activities.

Siva Sankaran Sharma / September 23, 2019
This site is an ancient Tamil area with no record of any Sinhalese living any where around these areas , they have only arrived here now , due to state aided colonisation schemes and are now making all sorts of fake claims , with the help of the occupying Sinhalese armed forces police and the so called Archeological department, that is in the hands of Sinhalese Buddhist Fascists. This is an ancient prehistoric Hindu temple, that Sinhalese Buddhist Fascists are trying to convert to a Buddhist temple with fake history and claims. In another country this Buddhist monk and his followers would have been chased out and arrested by the authorities but instead the Sinhalese establishment, armed forces and police are supporting them , with the support of many powerful forces down south. Why should the Tamil Hindus who are the legal owners of the north be banned to worship in their own temple ? Strangely all these trumped up claims about ancient imaginary Buddhist temples , many at the sites of prehistoric Saivite temples , only seem to be appearing now , after the defeat of the LTTE. There were no mention of these imagined temples and sites even in the Mahavamsa comic book or for the past 2000 years. Now they all seem to be cropping up , as an excuse to settle Sinhalese in Tamil lands with fake claims.

Attempts to cause religious tensions like the Easter Sunday carnage, to divide the country and advance the foreign project to take over the northeast of the country for a military base, are on going by those who organized the Easter Carnage and who want people to support US puppet Bondscam Ranil at the looming elections
But this will backfire like the Easter disaster did on the Americans.
People in the northeast must be cautious about how religion is being weaponized by the agents of foreign parties to cause violence and de-stablize the country at this time.

Richard / September 23, 2019
To Dinuk,
I grant you Ranil was complacent with the events leading up to the Easter-Sunday bombing……but, it is alleged that the Islamist extremists such as Zaharan were funded during M.R. regime under Gota’s watch (see yesterday’s newsweb.com). So how could the Ester-Sunday carnage help Ranil? In fact, the first on the scene trying to get political mileage from the disaster was Gota. There was also a precursor to the Easter-Sunday bombing, when a group of SLPP chaps attacked the Zion Church, which could be described as a possible link with the Zaharan extremists.
/
Dinuk / September 24, 2019
US citizen Gota and US puppet Bondscam Ranil are 2 sides of a coin.
The American game with both of them is: Heads I win, Tail you lose.
Either way ordinary Sri Lankans are screwed by these two Manchurian Candidates for the USA, which uses Muslims every where in the world to do their dirty work,
Both Gota and RW who have been asset stripping Sri Lanka to enable setting up of US military bases as Gota did with the Avant Guard case and Ranil with the Bondscam to put Lanka in the IMF and Washington Concensus debt trap and bailout business

Siva Sankaran Sharma seems to have facts more than Director General of Archeology P.B. Mandavala! He has logically proved, in this particular site, a Buddhist monastery was existing dates going back 2000 years. Thats the truth. Tamil chauvinists, as usual, are trying distort the facts and mislead the people.

Siva Sankaran Sharma / September 24, 2019
Only thing Chauvanist is you Sinhalese racist . When challenged they could not prove anything. Buddhist monasteries now appearing everywhere in the Tamil north and east , especially in very strategic areas and on the sites of ancient Hindu temples. Deliberate attempt after the defeat of the LTTE to erase any traces of ancient Tamil history and symbols by concocting stories about non existent Buddhist monasteries and to capture strategic Tamil areas for Sinhalisation. Strange all these ancient so called Buddhist monasteries are only in the Tamil North East, where there is no record of Sinhalese living but nothing in the Sinhalese areas and all this discoveries only after May 2009 and no talk of it before

Max you are wrong perhaps due to your bigoted racist mind. In a meeting with TNA and President Sirisena, DG of Archaeology admitted that Buddhist relics are found on the opposite side of the road and not on the same side as the Hindu temple. So the logical thing is to reconstruct Buddhist temple at that side and not to interfere with the existing Hindu temple. Sirisena did not have the courage to make the order as a Buddhist chauvinist he did not want to go against Buddhist racists. Courts in Mullaitivu analysed everything and gave an order for the body of the Buddhist priest to be cremated on the beach nearby and not inside the compound of Hindu temple. Fact that the court order was violated by Buddhist thugs brought from the south supported by Armed forces and Police and Sinhala lawyers proves that there is lawlessness against Tamils. Though there are Buddhist relics in the area, there is no proof of existence of Sinhala settlements in the pas, nor history suggesting expulsion of Sinhalese.Buddhism was in vogue among Tamils at one stage before its demise, which led to the abandoning of these Buddhist monuments. For your information Saivaism was practiced in Sri Lanka several years before Buddhism was introduced, during which some Hindu temples were destroyed and Buddhist temples built on them. If justice is equal to all, Hindus also must have the same right as Buddhists to resurrect their old temples. It is you who is trying to distort facts and mislead the people.

N. Lohathayalan,
First of all, the Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhist” monk follows, Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhism”, that is a distortion oF Buddhism and to the Buddha. Another example of Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhism”, from among numerous examples, is given below.
September 25, 1959.
“As the PM was getting ready to receive what he may have thought were some papers, the Buddhist monk took out a pistol concealed in his robes and fired twice at point blank range hitting Bandaranaike in the chest and abdomen.The Prime Minister made a loud sound like a gasp or moan and went down”
Please make your submission to the court that the Monk is a cult, is an imposter, is not Buddhism, and nowhere in the Buddhist Chronicles, it gives permission for such actions as well as for killings. Ask the judges to uphold the law and not allow the vermins to break the law , distort Buddhism and insult the Buddha.
Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhism “ is NOT Buddhism, and is a distortion of Buddhism and is an insult to the Buddha.

Christian Sinhala ‘Kalu Suddas’ who enjoyed a privileged status like Wellala Demalu during British colonial rule were behind the assassination of Bandaranayake. By involving Somarama and Buddharakkitha those Christian ‘Kalu Suddas’ cleverly gave a ‘Buddhist Face’ to the assassination.
/

Was Buddharakkita Thero of Kelaniya, who was behind Somarama, a Christian Monk?

It was Oseee Keriya not Buddharakkitha who was behind Somarama. The same Sinhala Christian ‘Kalu Suddas’ staged a coup against Mrs. Bandaranayake. Fortunately, someone leaked the information and Mrs. Bandaranayake was saved.

Not to Nirvana, Nibbana or Apaya?

This is the Land of Native Sinhalayo occupied by descendants of coolies brought from Malabar by colonial parasites to do the donkey work for them. These ‘Para’ people are destroying Sinhala Buddhist Heritage sites in the North and East. In several places, Hindus have built Kovils on top of ancient Buddhist temples.

You are singing the same song for the umpteenth time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lankan_Tamils
/
Bodin / September 23, 2019
What matters is not the so called “recorded history” as recorded by the Tamils, but the following:
(1) Existing law of the Land. This is what has to be executed without fear, and if the Buddhists have a claim, they should be able to establish it with their deeds, or Sannasas going back to Sinhalese kings.
(2) In ADDITION, may we remind these Tamils who talk of history that when the British captured Jaffna, and when Ceylon became a crown colony, the MAJORITY of the population of Jaffna was Moors (Muslims). This is recorded in (i) Captain Perciavl’s account of the Jaffna Peninsula and its residents 1800-1820 (ii) Writings of British civil-servant scholars like Emerson Tenant.
(3). There was a war between the sinhalese and the Tamil terrorists knon as the Eelam war. The Tamil terrorists wanted to grab a large chunk of land for themselves. The Tamil terrorists were beaten. The land now effectively belongs to the government, and the mouth pieces of the Terrorists who no claim that the land belongs to the Shivites. It at all, it should go back to the original residents who were there (i.e., Moors) when Ceylon became a British crown colony.
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / September 23, 2019
In ADDITION, may we remind these Sinhalese who talk of history that when a set of Bengali gangsters killed Kuweni and usurped her land, the MAJORITY of the population of Sri Lanka were Dravidians, who spoke Tamil or some form of it and practiced Saivaism. This is substantiated by archaeological and genetic evidence.
Prior to Portuguese conquest, there was a Jaffna kingdom whose residents were all Tamils and Saivaites. Several temples stand testimony to this. To destroy this fact, Sri Lanka government set fire to Jaffna library which had stored ancient ola leaves giving details of the history of Jaffna. If the majority in Jaffna at that time were Muslims how can it be that there are only two mosques in Jaffna, when there is no complaint of destruction of mosques or Muslims being driven away. If at all the island should go back to the original residents who were in Sri Lanka (i.e. Dravidian Saivaites) when it was usurped by Bengali criminals.
/
Hela / September 23, 2019
A response to Gnana,
The place names in ancient Jaffna were Sinhala because Jaffna was a part of the Sinhala kingdom. The British administrators working in the Northern Province recognized this fact and said so in their reports. Henry Parker, an irrigation engineer, presented a series of Sessional Papers to the Legislative Council in 1886 on the subject of irrigation in the Northern Province. In addition to irrigation, he had also looked into the historical information available on the places he was working in. He found that Tamil place names had been substituted for the original Sinhala names. Maha Kachchatkodi tank was originally Tittaveli, Maha Iranpaikkulam was originally Rambewetiya, Iluppaikkadavai was Sallariya, Kuruntur maai was Piyangala and Kuruntankulam was Kurunegama.
/
K.Anaga / September 23, 2019
Jaffna including North and East were never ruled by Sinhala Kings or Tamil Kings from the south This includes Ellalan ad Dutu-Gemunu as well.
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / September 23, 2019
Just because Jaffna was ruled by Sinhala kings, does not mean that it belongs to Sinhalese. On that skewed logic, do you say that Sri Lanka belongs to British because it was part of British empire. The words Villu (pond), Mottai (highland), Pitty (sandy land) are Elu words and not Sinhala. If you had been to Wilpattu where there were no Sinhala settlements, you find names like Kuruttupandi Villu. Kokkumotai, Marichchakatti, Allaipitty, Kudiraimalai etc. There are Sinhala place names which has been substituted for original Tamil names like Bulankulama ( Puliyankulam). Where in Sinhala language you find kulama which is a Tamil word for pond. Only scientific proof based on archaeology and genetics will be acceptable and not these observations made on superficial facts. Sinhala government will never allow for a comprehensive archaeological survey because it is detrimental to the Sinhala claim about Sri Lanka.
/
Hela / September 24, 2019
Dr Gnana,
I managed to download a copy of The Ceylon Antiquary and Literary Register, Vol III, Part I, July 1917. The two contributions by J. P. Lewis and Rev. S. Gnana Prakasar about Sinhalese place names in Jaffna Peninsula are quite informative. You should read it to be more enlightened on the subject matter (though it shatters the myth of a Tamil homeland). In search of truth………
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / September 24, 2019
Now technology has advanced and previous conclusions are being proved wrong. If Sinhalese are honest then government must get down latest equipment and do a comprehensive archaeological survey to ascertain the truth. Glorious civilization was present around Mantai port city which is lying buried and two recent 20,000 year sites of civilization discovered in Settikulam and around Giants Tank is only tip of iceberg. Government has closed the matter as it will shatter the myth of a Sinhala homeland. How can Sinhalese with 60% Tamil genetic material and a language only 1500 years old can make any claims above Tamils.

Further response to Gnana,
Horsburgh published an essay on Sinhalese place names in the Jaffna Peninsula”, in the Ceylon Antiquary and Literary Register, 1916. He said that the Sinhalese had earlier occupied the north portion of the mainland, which is now Tamil country. ‘There is ample evidence carried in stone all over Mannar and Mullaitivu district. In Jaffna the evidence is in the place names,’ he said. At least thirty of the place names in Jaffna were Sinhala in origin. He pointed out that Tamil place names which ended in ‘kalappu’, ‘vattei’, ‘palai’, ‘kam’, ‘pai’ and ‘vil’ were meaningless in Tamil. ‘Vil’ is bow in Tamil, ‘pai’ is net or sail. However the names made sense when they were seen as translation of Sinhala names. Valikamam and Vimankam have no meaning in Tamil but made sense as the Tamilised versions of Weligama and Vimangama. Chunnakam was Hunugama, Kokkuvil was Kokavila, Uduvil was Uduvila, Tanankalapu was Tanankalapuwa, Saravattai was Sarawatte and Manipai was Mampe.
Horburgh’s views met with a favorable response. Rev. S. Gnana Prakasar and S.W. Coomaraswamy wrote to the Ceylon Antiquary agreeing with Horsburgh and giving their own lists of Tamilised place names. S. Sabaratnam partially agreed with Horsburgh. Rev. Gnana Prakasar listed more villages ending in ‘vil’ such as Kandavil and Inuvil. He drew attention to villages ending in ‘vattei’, such as Polvattei and Sittavattei, villages ending with ‘kumbura’ such as Markkamburei, villages using ‘yaya’ such as Moolay , ‘deniya’ as in Narandanei and ‘eliya’ as in Puloly. S.W. Coomaraswamy said Manipai was not Mampe but Mampaya and Sandituppay was probably Sandurupaya. J.P. Lewis gave Tamilised Sinhala place names from Mannar and Mullaitivu.
/
Karan / September 25, 2019
“The survival of Sinhalese elements in the local nomenclature indicates a slow and peaceful penetration of Tamils in the area rather than a violent occupation. This is in contrast with the evidence of the place names in the North central Province, where Sinhalese names have been largely replaced by Tamil names. The large percentage of Sinhalese element and the occurrence of Sinhalese and Tamil compounds in the places names of Jaffna point to a long survival of the Sinhalese population and an intimate intercourse between them and the Tamils. This is also borne out by the retention of some territorial names, like Valikamam (Sinh. Valigama) and Maracci (Maracci-rata), which points to the retention of the old territorial divisions and tell strongly against wholesale extermination or displacement of the Sinhalese population.” – Prof. K. Indrapala
The Hela Buddhist population of Nagadipa largely assimilated into the Tamil identity. The preservation of place-names attest to this.
/
Hela / September 23, 2019
Some more…..
Paul E. Pieris (1917) also observed that place names in Jaffna derived from Sinhala. He mentioned Valikamam (Weligama), Kodikaman (Godigamuwa), Kat pokkanari (Gal pokuna)and Udupiti (Udupitiya). He stated that the 1645 Jaffna Foral of the Portuguese used the word ‘gama’ to describe the lands in Vanni allotted to Tamils for cultivation. Godakumbura ( 1968) said Kantarodai was originally known as Kadurugoda. He thought that Chunnakam was not Hunugama, it could be Sulanagama from the Pali word Cullanagagama

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / September 23, 2019
Why is this problem being dragged on. At a meeting TNA had with President Sirisena, the commissioner of archaeology admitted that the Buddhist relics are found only on the opposite side of the road and not on the side where Hindu temple is. So logical way is to order Buddhists who are creating trouble, to leave the Hindu temple alone and resurrect the Buddhist temple where it was. It is Sinhala racism that is preventing such a solution to be reached. Saivaism is the first religion in Sri Lanka, and when Buddhism was introduced several Hindu temples were destroyed and Buddhist temples built on them, examples of which are Abhayagiri Dagoba, Isurumuniya (Isuru refers to Siva) and Thondeeswaram in Dondra. Presence of Buddhist temples does not mean the presence of Sinhalese as Buddhism was in vogue among Tamils at one stage of history. Law has to be equal to all and if Buddhists are allowed to resurrect old temple lying buried, the same should apply to Hindus to resurrect old temples lying buried, especially around Anuradhapura. Only international intervention can bring justice to Tamils.

Dr Gnana,
Many Sinhalese including Buddhists worship Hindu Gods and they donate funds to build or maintain Hindu temples. Hinduism is not a threat to Buddhism. Only a mono ethnic ghetto mindset cannot accept it. So you need to find out who the real trouble makers in this instance with an open mind. Why do Catholic priests get involved in this dispute?
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / September 23, 2019
Buddhists worship Hindu gods because their ancestors were Hindus. Why this problem cannot be settled by doing archaeological survey of entire Island using modern equipment to ascertain the truth. Sinhalese will never agree for it because it will be detrimental to their propaganda of sole owners of the Island. Unfortunately for Sinhalese new evidences are surfacing by chance against them. It is proved genetically that Sinhalese are south Indians with a new identity. When Sinhala language is only 1500 years old, how can Sinhalese claim to be the original people.
/
K.Anaga / September 23, 2019
Buddhists never had a god, Buddha was a human being of Hindu origin. He never preached a new religion nor was he capable of granting favours. Hence the Buddhists depend on Hindu Gods to get favours.
/
Hela / September 24, 2019
Anga,
True Buddhists don’t need Gods, Hindu or otherwise. Weaker minds require assistance from divine. That applies to some Buddhists too. Buddha went beyond the contemporary religious dogma including that of Hinduism. In order to do that he studied all major religions in India and found that they don’t provide answers to certain critical questions. He rejected creation and salvation through submission to an omnipotent super being (God). He provided an explanation to how the world operates and the forces behind it. He emphasised the power of human mind and how human mind could be developed to beat the misery and suffering in the world. “Aththahi aththano natho”………your salvation is within you, no one else can deliver it to you.

They followed local chieftains advise as they were Wamana & Bimana clan affiliated to yakka tribes of here. As such before Buddhism locals were animists. No Hinduism came here before elara & two other traders invasion here. Any way Darvidians by large numbers not allowed here due to apa ( hell) deceases like Cholora ( Apa pachanaya or hell diarrhea ) Vasoori ( Apa Palu) . As such Dravidian did not arrived here in large numbers unless for military occupation, First 3 such occupations Sakkiliyars were fighting forces with Naga royalist guidance.

It doesn’t matter who one’s ancestors are (Tamil, Portugese or anybody else). If one accepts Buddhist teachings from that day he/she becomes a Buddhist. He/she doesn’t need a card or doesn’t need to announce it to anybody. There may be Tamil and Sinhala Buddhists living around Gurukanda Vihara. Let them practice their faith peacefully. Why does TNA (or the Catholic priests) wants to build a Hindu temple there? They need to come out of their mono ethnic ghetto mindset and accept anybody can live anywhere in the country. No part of the country is preserved for a single ethnic or religious group.

“If one accepts Buddhist teachings from that day he/she becomes a Buddhist. “
–
If you are right (doubt it) show me one Buddhist who qualifies as a Buddhist.
If that is the case why would some people stupidly call themselves Sinhala/Buddhists (whatever that is) and need to see Buddhism is being protected by Constitution and by murderers and crooks? What the crooks and murderers have got to do with teachings of the Awakened one?
–
If saffron clad thugs want to build their Sinhala/Buddhist Vihares they should build it in their own land, property and in the property that is owned by fellow Sinhala/Buddhist crooks.

veddo,
There are no Sinhala Buddhist viharas in the country. Buddhists and non Buddhists can visit any Buddhist Vihara (not like the TNA led Tamil thugs to threaten monks) to converse with monks and understand Buddhist way of life. I have met many of them.
Historical evidence tells us how Buddhism has been wiped out in many parts of the world through violent means because Buddhism did not have state protection. What you see now are only the ruins, at Nalanda (India), Bamian (Afghanistan), Borobudur (Central Java) etc and no Buddhists. The experience was same in Sri Lanka whenever there were invasions, South Indian or Western. That is the rationale which has been raised and recognised in 1815 treaty as well.
Yes, we had the good fortune to donate one of our ancestral family properties to sasana and build a Buddhist monastery for the benefit of meditating monks. Meditation sessions for lay people are also held there now. You can pay a visit and enjoy the serenity.

“Why does TNA (or the Catholic priests) wants to build a Hindu temple there?”
Stop slyly distorting history. The Hindu Kovil has been there for decades.
I don’t doubt the presence of Gurukanda Vihara either. It probably was abandoned due to Kalinga Magha’s onslaught in the 13th century.
But going by your logic the entire north and east belongs to Sinhala Buddhists because once upon a time it was Buddhist. That’s like saying Pakistan belongs to modern Hindu Indians.
Absolutely fanatical.

I didn’t say North and East belong to Buddhists. I merely showed that it was a predominant Sinhala area at one time and Sinhalese or Buddhists can live anywhere in North & East and can rightly say it is their country too. I also showed how and why there is nothing called a Tamil homeland in any part of Sri Lanka.

Eagle Eye, your so called “colonial parasites” contributed greatly to the development of this country pre-independence. They established the parliament, courts to public administration, schools, roads, railnetwork, plantations to ports, etc. It is the so called ‘Sinhala Buddhist’ leaders since, who have corrupted the entire social fabric of this country. Thanks to your brood of ‘Sinhala Buddhists’ we have no law and order, rampant corruption, racial and religious disharmony………………………and the list can go on and on.
Eagle Eye, by virtue of you being a Buddhist, you worship an ‘Indian’, who you say are ‘coolies’, in which case you are a worshiper of a ‘coolie’,Does this then mean all Sinhala Buddhists are lower casts to ‘coolies’?
I do not share ‘Eagle Eyes’ ethics nor his logic……….but this fairy tale of the all loving, all caring and all powerful super race of Sinhala Buddhists that can rule this country on its own, to make it a first world nation, where all the world would watch with awe, should be filed under fiction.

Violence and abuse in the premises was started by TNA led by provincial councilor T Raviharan. This is based on a licence given by PM Ranil W to TNA leadership to do whatever they want to Buddhist sites in the North & East. They are all happening to a bigger plan which all began with the mass exodus of Sinhalese & Muslims from North Sri Lanka towards the late 1980s/early 1990s by LTTE enabling to claim that ONLY Tamils lived in North Sri Lanka. With LTTE ground force eliminated in May 2009, its political wing the TNA has now taken over from LTTE in a bigger objective to create a mono-ethnic province.
The place is called Gurukanda Purana Raja Maha Vihara and is a declared sacred Buddhist site. A B Mandawela, Director General of Archaeology giving evidence before the Mullaitivu Magistrate S. Lenin Kumar confirmed that the Gurukanda Raja Maha Viharaya had a history of over 2000 years. The ancient monastery & Buddhist artefacts were thus over 2000 years old. The Commissioner of Archaeology explicitly told the Magistrate that it was illegal to build a Hindu kovil inside the ancient Buddhist temple.
The involvement of a Tamil Catholic priest indicates the operation of a larger plan.

As per news many prominent Sinhalese lawyers are appearing on behalf of these Sinhalese racists and fascists , who with the help of the occupying Sinhalese armed forces . police and the so called Archeological department , that is full of Sinhalese racists, are trying to take over an ancient Hindu temple ,with false claims and myths. This proves that Sinhalese are racists to the core, even the so called educated ones. When challenged the so called Archeological department could not produce any evidence of these so called Buddhists relics , at the temple premises and stated they were on the opposite site. Even if there are Buddhist relics on the opposite side of the road , what makes these Sinhalese. These areas were Tamil from ancient prehistoric times and many Tamils were also Buddhist at one time . Tamils Buddhists and Buddhist monks from South India , nurtured Buddhism in the island from ancient times. It was compulsory for the monks in the ancient monastery at the Maha Vihara in Anuradhapura to have a knowledge of Sanskrit , Pali and Tamil and not Sinhalese. They are deliberately insulting the Tamils and Hindus by trying to cremate and hold a funeral in the premises of a Hindu temple. This is a sacrilege. These bloody Sinhalese politicians and elite run to India and pray at all these ancient Tamil Hindu temples in South India eg; Tirupathi., Guravayur and ask for blessings and then come here commit sacrilege and destruction back home on many Hindu temples in the north and east , as they think these are places of worship of the vanquished Tamils , so as Sinhalese victors can do anything

Dr Gnana, you are pouring water on ducks back. These guys have no frame of mind to understand or accept the truth because their foundation is built on lies and myths. They mix us Buddhism with sinhalas just for survival. All Buddhist places are originally built by Nagas, Yaksas and Dravidas with the arrival of Buddhism. At one point it was Tamil Buddhism besides Samanas who too were Dravidians. Now the newly created sinhalas scream every time they see a Buddhist place as a Sinhala domination. It is not only a tragedy but mostly a comedy loaded with ignorance. If these ignorant people can take away the concocted Sinhala kathawa then Hindu and Buddhist places can very well co exist because SL Buddhism is more of Hinduism than Buddhism. Racism has blinded them 100%.

You can see Sinhalese police protecting Sinhalese racists and monks who are trying to assault Tamil people Hindu people and the Iyer. Sinhalese haven been bused from the south in this 99% Tamil area. The court has banned the funeral service and the cremation of this racist Buddhist priest inside the premises of the Hindu temple. The Sinhalese Police are not dong anything and arresting Buddhist monks thugs and the Sinhalese mobs largely imported from the south. Tamil Hindus have become slaves in their own land , thanks to an occupying Sinhalese armed forces and police. The court has ordered the remains of the Buddhist priest to be cremated next to an army camp near the sea and not anywhere near the Hindu temple but these Sinhalese mobs are openly defying the court order , as they have the support of the Sinhalese police and armed forces

So the Tamilnet the mouthpiece of terrorist Tamil separatists also cannot deny the Buddhist heritage of the site and they promote it as a Tamil Buddhist site. That is good enough admission for Buddhists. Let Sinhala and Tamil Buddhists worship and practice their faith at the Gurukanda Vihara peacefully.

Buddhism is “Aryan” in the sense that Buddha was himself a Prince. “Arya” means noble in Sanskrit. Buddha was a Shakya, who were descended directly from the famous king Ikshvaku. Buddha was very familiar with Vedas, it is their rejection in one form or another that forms the basis for what we call “Buddhism.” Of course, the Tamils also rejected Vedas, or claim to reject Vedas, even though they adopted most of the Aryan gods. Anyway, there is no such thing as “Dravidian” Buddhism, as the entire philosophy of Buddhism developed in North India, beginning with an “Aryan” Prince who debated Vedas (Aryan literature).

Here comes the nasty lying racist from London ,who stated that since he was born in the UK , he has the same rights as the native white British but preached genocide , ethnic cleansing , discrimination for the island’s Tamil population who have lived more than 2300 years in the north and east of the island and ruled their land , as well as most of the so called Sinhalese south. This man is a very nasty brainwashed racist, who wants the good life for himself and his family in Britain but evil for Tamils living anywhere. Despite being born bred and living in Britain has not learnt any of the western liberal values. Most probably learn all this nasty racism from his parents who conveniently fled the island for a good life in the UK and became arm chair patriots and racists.

Hehe, I never fled anything. I was born in SL many decades ago. Some of my family were very high in the military from Gen. Balagalle’s time. I have been to many Army camps, so I know what you Eelamists say about the SLA is nonsense. The Army is the most disciplined organization in the country. Anyway, you are a pretend Brahmin, why is that? Is it because the Vellalars are low-caste farmers in Tamil Nadu? You are fake Hindus, all of you were ready to convert to Christianity to please your white colonial masters until Navalar came along. Then you played the same game with the British. After your 50-50 and other nonsense were rejected by the Sinhalese, you started inventing relics and monuments in the North and East to claim indigenous status. After taking refugee status in the West on false grounds, you tried to use the low-caste Tamils and Eastern Tamils to fight your fake liberation war funded by drug money, smuggling, and extortion.

Durga/Kali are all Dravidian or of Pre Dravidian origin. Aryan gods have been now relegated to minor gods and in fact there is hardly any temple in their honour , even in the north. There is more and more scientific and other evidence to prove the Indus valley civilisation was Dravidian and most Indians are indeed are Dravidians or Dravidian hybrids, this also includes most Brahmins.

Judiciary in Sri Lanka is in crisis. First there were stone throwing incidents during J.R.Jayawardena’s regime. Later, the High Court Judge of Colombo did not even listen to Lalith Athulathmudali when the matter of impeach motion was brought against R.Premadasa. He just dismissed the case and flew to Japan. Thereafter, there were stone throwing incidents at the Mannar Magistrates Court. Rishard Badurdeen was not punished. Later there was a case against Gnanasara Thera and was eventually released by President Maithripala Srisena. Now there is a court order against the burial of a Buddhist monk at the Neeraviyadi Pillaiyar temple. But the Buddhist monks and even the Police had attacked the public and cremated near the vicinity of the Pillaiyar temple. Judiciary in Sri Lanka has become ridiculous. In addition there were also incidents where a group of Buddhist monks supporting Mahinda Rajapakse and Maithripala engaged in scuffles and the Police was unable to do any thing. But if it is a case of Tamils, Tamils are assaulted. Buddhism is in crisis. I think yellow robe terrorism is rearing its ugly head and the world is laughing at the teachings of Lord Buddha in Sri Lanka. No point in boasting about 2500 years of Buddhist civilization.

‘Para’ Demalu have not changed their mission that started in 3rd Century BC to grab land in Sinhale. Until ‘Para’ Portuguese arrived ‘Para’ Demalu invaded Sinhale 52 times but Native Sinhalayo defeated them and chased them away. After 1505, ‘Para’ Europeans brought the enemy of Native Sinhalayo from Hindusthan, dumped them in Sinhale and disappeared. After British left, ‘Para’ Demalu who are the descendants of coolies from Malabar have turned to the same old game to grab land that belong to Native Sinhalayo and put a label ‘Tamil Land’. In the first place, there are no ‘Tamils’ in Sinhale. The Sinhala Census and Housing Report 2012 use the term ‘Demala Jathikayan’. Demalu are a hotchpotch of people speaking Dravidian languages from Malabar. The land in Sinhale belong to Native Sinhalayo and Vedda Eththo who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to save the country from ‘Para’ Demala, ‘Para’ Portuguese, ‘Para’ Dutch and ‘Para’ British invaders.

The behavior of ‘Para’ Demalu shows that money spent on ‘Sanhidiyawa’ of Mangala, Choura Rejina, Pakayasothi, Jehan are a waste. So do not come to preach ‘Sanhidiyawa’ to Native Sinhalayo anymore. ‘Para’ Demalu have been the enemy of Native Sinhalayo throughout history of Sinhale. They have not changed a bit. So it is better to consider ‘ENEMY’ as the ‘ENEMY’ and handle things accordingly without wasting resources on ‘Sanhidiyawa’.

The monks have the full support of the Sinhala Army in this matter according to Tamilnet.

As you can see even the dead body of a monk is being used as a bait. This is how the Gota camp works.
Naturally Gnanasara terrorist is at his best stirring up the comotion, whilst answering to his master the wicked Gota.
Why should the Army get involved in such a situation? Why are the police not enforcing the court order?
You can see how the whole situation is being used to impact the highest level of bitterness in the minds of the people. Particularly the stupid Sinhalese with Low IQs, who use emotion in the place of intelligence to judge and decide on everything.
This makes me wonder, to what lengths these Gota bastards are ready to go for the sake of politics? And to what depths they are ready to sink in the same vein.
It is clear that all corrupt, selfish, shameless, unscrupulous bastards are in support of the beast Gota, this is just a small reflection of what’s is store if Gota becomes president.
If any Tamil, Muslim, Christian or decent Buddhist should cast even a single vote for Gota, they should have their head examined and paternity questioned.

Including desperately trying to protect this ancient Hindu temple and trying to prevent a sacrilege and desecration on the premises of the this historic temple , by the deliberately planned cremation of this cancer ridden corpse of this rogue Buddhist monk on this Hindu temple grounds to provoke and humiliate the Thamizh population to show them who is the master race , who can do anything , even deliberately desecrate a Hindu temple. They did this anyway , defying even the court order and law, under the protection of the Chingkalla armed forces and police to prove a point to the Thamizh , that the Chingkallams can do anything when it comes to Thamizh , even in their lands, temples and what they hold sacred and dear. . Proving there is one rule for the Thamizh and another for the Chingkallams and even the Thullkans. They can openly flout the law , when it comes to Thamizh and Hinduism. This rogue Buddhist monk, illegally built the Buddhist Vihara on the premises of this ancient Saiva temple , with the help of the Chingkalla , establishment , the fake Archeological department , that should be renamed the department of Chingkalla Poutha Fascism and fairy tales. the Chingkalla armed forces and police, who were all seen on the video protecting these Poutha Chingkalla rowdies 90% imported from the south , to deliberately provoke the Thamizh and desecrate the sanctity of this Hindu temple , by deliberately cremating the body on the Hindu temple premises , against the court order.

CHAPTER XXXVII
TO CHAMPA AND TAMALIPTI. STAY AND LABOURS THERE FOR THREE YEARS. TAKES SHIP TO SINGHALA, OR CEYLON.
Following the course of the Ganges, and descending eastwards for eighteen yojanas, he found on the southern bank the great kingdom of Champa,(1) with topes reared at the places where Buddha walked in meditation by his vihara, and where he and the three Buddhas, his predecessors, sat. There were monks residing at them all. Continuing his journey east for nearly fifty yojanas, he came to the country of Tamalipti,(2) (the capital of which is) a seaport. In the country there are twenty-two monasteries, at all of which there are monks residing. The Law of Buddha is also flourishing in it. Here Fa-Hsien stayed two years, writing out his Sutras,(3) and drawing pictures of images.
After this he embarked in a large merchant-vessel, and went floating over the sea to the south-west. It was the beginning of winter, and the wind was favourable; and, after fourteen days, sailing day and night, they came to the country of Singhala.(4) The people said that it was distant (from Tamalipti) about 700 yojanas.
The kingdom is on a large island, extending from east to west fifty yojanas, and from north to south thirty.

The Sri Lanka Sinhala Buddhism is afflicted with the cancer of Mahavamsa hate and lies.
There is no cure for it, and it will inevitably die like the Buddhist priest who tried to take over the Hindu Pillaiyar temple.

Moda John, why don’t you first rename your dick to some Sinhala word. But do you really have any language really as Sinhala. Ask the mad, rabid monks and they will find some name for this moda John. Some even refers to dick as John. Now that you are a refugee in UK I will call you Jack Willie. Guys like you are the cause of all the evils. Buggers run away and then talk of mother land and Buddha. Racism mask your guys ability to think. Even Sevalaya Ranil is ashamed of these morons. But what is there to be ashamed of. This is what they are and immersed in eternal stupidity.

[Para’ Demalu have not changed their mission]
Para Blind eagle, when will you learn the SL history and from where and when sinhalaya came? Was it after buddha or Vijeya or Dutte Gamini or Devemabiya Theesan or Rajasingan, come on moron just answer me before your BS. Blind eagle when Suddas arrived your parents were naked or semi naked monkeys. When did you wear kalissama? Who are the coolies for these white guys? Sinhalas are not even Para sinhalas to begin with. The guys have no roigin or history or anyform of ithihasa except Maha Vambu written in pali.

Oh why oh why can’t all these men & women take a religious view of all this? What is in a site after all? It is the philosophy that should matter. Politicians, racists, fanatics on both sides of the divide please stay away. Hopefully whoever the new president is going to be, he / she will ensure an end to this nonsense and genuinely work towards a Sri Lankan identity. A national identity was the foundation on which Singapore was built.

“Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love”; this is the eternal rule. – Lord Buddha
It is a shameful affair to have washed the linen in public that went viral on the social media. If things go in this rate there won’t be any sign of prosperity in Sri Lanka. Wasn’t there any better way to have resolved this issue in an amicable manner? considering the presidential election is round the corner. We often forget priorities over petty things of this nature that will result in declining in economic prosperity. Fanning communal feelings among the poor people would bring disastrous outcome to mar national productivity. Such people find easy excuses to keep away from work and having tendency to commit crimes.

Lankan election circus is officially inaugurated. A cremation issue has been converted to an election issue. RW says he is ashamed of religious bigots for breaking the court order. Gotha says courts are provoking the bigots because they are above “low and odor”. Other than religion and race there is nothing to debate in Lankan elections. It has been the tradition since independence and the politicians, SB public and religious bigots (lead by none other than Ape Man Ganasara, who was pardoned from prison term, for the same offence ) will see to that, traditions shall be maintained. Why do we need political pundits , in depth analysis, heated debates, on unemployment,economy, budget deficits, foreign policy Blah, Blah, Blah.

chiv,
A Buddhist monk passed away. If his body was allowed to be cremated in the temple premises he lived then there wouldn’t have been any noise whatsoever. It has now energised many passive sections of society. Question is do the paper tigers in this forum and others want it to spiral further. They will reap what they sow.

The phedophile monks should be controlled, if not another war, we had 30 years LTTE , Muslims being harreseed leading to April 21, all this points to BBS is working on a American Chinese adgenda of making the country ungovernable , by not listening to courts, the monks have shown they are above the law. We know what will happen then. The pelopane rathne is starting another farce,
