| Tamil People of Visvamaduva weeps for departying Colonel Ratnapriya Bandu |
Suren Raghavan, immediately after being appointed as the
Governor of Northern Province announced that he is against Buddhisisation of the
North.
Well he is not alone, there are many more Tamil politicians still with their
Dravidian instincts like that of animals,
such as the TNA MP the Christian Tamil Sumandiran, who wants to distance Tamils
and Jaffna Tamils from the teachings of the Compassionate Buddha.
But this stupid statement coming from a Governor of a Province is not
tolerable. A Governor is the representative of the President of Sri Lanka in
the respective Province. He should be the uniting force that brings the people-the
Communities in to the national fold. He should be a symbol of unity in the
Province to bring the people together,
not to separate them.
The Governor Suren Raghavn has a Doctorate in Federalism, that does not put him into the
category of an intellectual, as much as Wignesvaran, who had spent all his professional
life as a Judge dealing with thieves and criminals who have rubbed off
their evil thinking to Wignesvaran.
Therefore these ignorant morons have no minds to think
positively and constructively. They do not know what a priviledge it is to live
in the land sanctified by the visit of the Compassionate Buddha long before the Dravidians had even
heard of Jaffna- Jaffna -the land of the Nagas.
These unfortunate Tamils are ignorant that today learned men all over the world- academicians,
scientists and psychiatrists are
awakening to the teachings of the Buddha, and accepting the teachings and setting
up temples and Buddhist Centres of Buddhist Studies in USA , Europe and in far away Africa .
Suren Raghavan when he is planning to stop Buddhisisation
of Jaffna ,
a group of savage Dravidians in Mulathivu occupied the Mulathivu
Nayaru Khandha
Ancient Buddhist
Temple on the Pongal day, threatened
the resident monk Venerable Kolamba Medalankara Kiththi Nayaka thero and dug a
foundatiuon for a Kovil in the Temple

It is interesting in this context to see what is happening
in Portugal 25 acres of land in
Lisbon, wants to compensate Sri Lanka
for the wrongs done to the people of Sri Lanka by the Portuguese, by
spreading the teachings of Buddha in Portugal.
But this uninformed ignorant Raghavan speaks of Buddhism as a plague with which he
does not want to infect his people in the North. Raghavan is also a Christian
with a special devotion to Jesus , who according to some historians was in India
It is not strange that Sri Lankan Tamil politicians have an
aversion to Buddha and his teachings, as their mental development has still not gone
beyond their ancestral Dravidian instinct to understand the greatness of the teachings
of the Buddha. Hence they rejects Buddhism as a blind man kicks a jewel he steps on while
walking, not knowing what it is.
Therefore Raghavan as much as other anti Buddhists Tamils
amoung the TNA MPs having the same Dravidian Genes still do not know the value of
the Buddha and his teachings. They prefer the blood soaked floors of Kali
Temples, to a clean peaceful simplicity of a Buddhist temple.
Having primitive Dravidian genes is not a disease or an
unsurmountable handicap, but the Tamil politicians thrive living with this undeveloped mindsets and do not allow the poor
Tamils to rise above these ethnic handicaps. These Tamils activists be they TNA
politicians or of other political or non political groups are all the same.
Therefore, it is best that the Sinhala people who wants a
true unity with the Tamil Community think even for an instance they have found
hope for such a unity in Arun of the
AAWA Group, because it was evident from the interview with him carried out by
the Derana TV that he is a big farce, a trickster, he is not different from the Tamil politicians from the
North or the Tamils of the diaspora..
The ordinary Tamils are beautiful people. We know many like
Muralitharan, Kanthar Balanathan , and
Dr. Nadesan from Australia Jaffna
The
ordinary Tamil people in the North cannot be ruled out as anti Sinhala Buddhists.
It is the Tamil politicians of the TNA who keep the ordinary Tamil people from demonstrating their affection to the Sinhala people.
It
was seen recently where the villagers of Visvamaduma in Jaffna
The politically motivated Tamils are ready to reproach and accuse the Sinhala political leaders and
the Afrmy, but none comes forward to speak gratefully of them, who had helped
the ordinary Tamil people to live peacefully and in security having saved them
from the clutches of terrorism.
It is not too late for Governor Raghavan to learn a little about the teachings of the Buddha if he wants to be a suitable man to be the Governor of the
Northern Province
During the time of the Most Compassionate Buddha in India
There is no mention of the Buddha Visiting South India. Even today the Tamils, except the Dalits, have
not accepted the teachings of the Buddha. The Tamils of Jaffna do not seem to know
that the Compassionate Buddha had visited Jaffna
They
prefer their primitive religious practicesn and insult and despise the great teachings with
which they have been priviledged to live side by side. Even though the
decorated Mandapas of Hindu Temple
in North India are beautifully crafted,
the Gopurams of Hindu Kovils in South India
and in Sri Lanka are ugly and frightful with large eyed, big bellied, large
breasted fantasy figures of Yakshas and Yakshanis.
There were very few Buddhist in South
India when Venerable Buddhaghosa was engaged to translate into
Pali the commentaries to the teachings of the Buddha made in Sinhala by great
Buddhist monks and perhaps Noble
Arahaths.
That was perhaps a mistake done by Venerable Revata Maha
Thero of Mahavihara. Perhaps Venerable Buddhaghosa did a good translation of
those Commentaries and prepared the Visuddhimagga. But no one could verify what he had included in it and what he
had not.
Venerable Buddhaghiosa before he became a Buddhist monk, was
a South Indian Hindu who was learned in the Vedic literature, therefore there
is no doubt that he had included in Visuddhimagga
his own Hindu views as for
instances the 40 objects of meditation which had not been mentioned by the
Buddha in his discourses such as Maha Satipatthana Sutta.
All the Commentaries
in Sinhala had been handed over to Venerable Buddhaghosa giving him a
carte blanche for their translation.
Mahavihara Bikkhus had trusted him and no one had even been given to assist
him. Therefore it is questionable whether Ven. Buddhagosa read and understood
correctly the Sinhala commentaries.
There
is no way to verify the correctness of
the Pali text of Ven. Buddhaghosa by comparing it to the original Sinhala
commentaries as it is said that Venerable Buddhaghosa after writing the
Visuddhimagga burnt all Sinhala commentaries that had been handed over to him,
without leaving any trace of them. That
was a great act of betrayal as those original commentaries were of immense
importance.
That is how South Indian mentality worked even at that
time. Destruction of Buddhism is in the
genes of the Tamils. Venerable Buddhaghosa
should have respected the ancient Sinhala Commentaries and handed
them back to Mahavihara. But he probably
wanted credit for himself for what is written
in the Visuddhimagga..
But
these present day assailants of Buddhism do not understand that it is Buddhism
that Identifies Sri Lanka
Perhaps
the appointment of Suren Raghavan was
another attempt in reconciliation which has badly misfired. It is better that a Sinhala Buddhist
is appointed as the Governor of the Northern Province
and remove Suren Raghavan as he is a misfit as a Governor of the Nothern Province
The
ordinary Tamils in the North and East will certainly prefer to have a Sinhala
Buddhist as their Governor as they can expect justice and a fair deal from a
Sinhala Buddhist Governor. It is only the extremist Tamil politicians that
would protest against a Sinhala Buddhist
as a Governor in the North or East.
