KSAMA:
Thanks for the reply, and for the advice.
-Muchalinda
PS: I guess you know the difference between becoming angry and pretending angry. If you have any children, you would know the difference very clear (in fact, I practice the latter even wothout having them).
PS2: A word about History:
History is History. I know this truth very well. If it has nothing to do with current crisis, what I asked all our Tamil Brethren is to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Secondly what we are seeing today as History is the Present of Someone else who lived before us. I do not tolerate anyone destroying someone else's present for the betterment of thier present. Simply, we have no right to defame the effort of people who built Massive Tanks or the bravery of Sankilian who fought fearsome battles with Portuguese.

To Whom It May Concern:
What ever happened is happened well before BC onwards that is my point. How am I going to live will be decided by myself. I am not a historian and not interested in it. But this is not big big thing to learn and use your analytical power. People quoting some name as renowned historians should accept others who have done researches also renowned historians as well. Reading inscriptions as they like even the language was not formed, sponsored by Island paper.
SL future PRZ can bend like a question mark in front of the thugs( Monks ) who led gangs with voters list to burn and loot Tamils. Mahinda can sign any documents that will not touch N&E. The Buddhism practiced in SL need constitutional protection because it is peculiar and only talks about anti Tamil, Muslim, Christianity, violence and nothing else. The whole world knows about it.
I was waiting for others comments where my answers were inappropriate? There was some mix-ups which I clarified. If any further need to be done I can clarify.

Dear Shan,
I can't speak for others.
In my case, if you beleive in something and if you don't see truth in others point of views, just beleive what you beleive and be happy. If it is correct no problem. If it is wrong, one day you will find the truth. Until then have a peace in your mind.
There is no wrong if you beleive something 'wrong' as far as your mind is in peace and as far as that beleif doesn't harm the others.
Have nice day, dear. |

History is a part of our culture... so in my personal view, we too should know it...
I say,
PRESENT IS THE PAST AND FUTURE TOGETHER...
So to understand the present, past and future should be known...
Pls do not ask me how a man can know the future...
Some people have this genious, but not every body..
People like Edgar Cayce have such powers...
This medium person had too power to know the past...
It's why he told an interesting thing about Lemuria, a continent which was destroyed by a flood...
Most strange fact, Tamil Sangam Literature explain us too the same thing...
Kumari Kandam was too destroyed by a flood...Kumari Kandam is the same continent that Cayce saw in his vison...
Very very strange...
History is the pearl of the present...It contains many informations about us...
Thank you very much,
KURAL, a friend. |

Mucha-linda.. sorry i don't recall you oryourquestion (no offence intended), since i've been away for so long.. I don't know if i answered it before.. but my opinion of Maththaiya is that he had not (yet) directly betrayed the tamil cause (Eelam), but he had betrayed Prabhakaran. It's obvious to me, for such a man who would betray his leader and his followers for the sake of power, it won't take too long to betray his people. So, in the interest of the nation (and obvious self-interest) Prabhakaran was right in executing Maththaiya, else the LTTE could've had a much bigger problem than Karuna to worry about today. (I'll also try to divide my writing into paragraphs).
As for the discussion about history, history is important in that it is necessary for us to identify ourselves with our culture. Culture is necessary for us to adapt to and to transform our world. History helps us understand how we survived in the past, equally important is to realize the fact that every culture that has survived to the present day has it's own history which is equally glorious and valuable. What we should learn from history is not where our boarders lie (boarders are ever-changing), but how we managed to survive together for so long. It's obvious we did better when there was cooperation amongst us than when we had divided our-selves. It was when we were divided that our country first fell into foreign rule, and it was when we united that foreign rule collapsed. It seems to me the lesson from history is clear! |

There were temples, dedicated to the Supreme Lord Ishwaran, on all the four sides, of ancient Ceylon. They safeguarded the little island from oceanic bed upheavals, convulsions and other natural disasters that prevailed in the region during the pre-historical eras. They were Thiruketheeshwaram and Muneshwaram Temples in the West, Thondeshwaram in the South, Koneshwaram in the East and Naguleshwaram in the North.
These five celebrated Ishwarams or Pancha Ishwaram Temples were important landmarks of the country and had India's adoration. The erudite scholar and historian, Dr.Paul E.Pieris declared in 1917, at a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society (Ceylon Branch), that:
'Long before the arrival of Vijaya there was in Lanka five recognised Ishwarams of Shiva which claimed and received adoration of all India. These were Thiruketheeshwaram which was near Mahatittha, Muneshwaram dominating Salawatte and the pearl fishery, Thondeshwaram near Mantota, ThiruKoneshwaram near the great Bay of Kottiyar and Naguleshwaram near Kankesanturai ' .
How each of these five Pancha Ishwaram Temples survived the ravages of time and destruction by foreign invaders, is the subject of narration in the following pages. |

Continue:-
Muneshwaram Temple is situated about a mile East of Chilaw, a town about 50 miles North of Colombo. This Munna Nathar Shetram, housing Munnai Natharsametha Vadivambikai Ambal, is of very ancient origin, said to have been founded by Brahms for worship by Himself Vishnu Mahendran, Munivars, sages and seers (Dakshana Kailasa Puranam ). The name Muneshwaram is suggestive of it being an 'Eshwaram' or Shivan Temple of the Munivars; as mythology would have it, it is said to have been venerated by Rishi Munivars in the ancient eras. Some claim a foremost place for it because of its name with 'Mun' in front.
Rama Bhagavans sojourn
Sri Rama Bhagavan found solace here when he was returning home after the Ramayana episode, with a heavy conscience thinking of the many deaths in the battle.
Here he experienced relief from the 'Brahma Sakthy' that had worried him; so he, accompanied by Sita Devi stopped here and performed puias and other observances.
It is also one of the temples renovated by Prince Vijaya (483-445 B.C.) after being crowned King of Lanka, for the well being of his subjects. It was improved and maintained by the Cholas during their occupation of the Island.
Demolition
The temple was well endowed and gifted with several villages and paddy lands. The reputed wealth of the temple attracted the greed of the Portuguese invaders who looted it and finally destroyed it in 1578. |

History is the cause, present is the effect, but if we are wise we can change the future.
Edgar Casey is correct to a certain extent. He thinks (according to his books) people come to this world to pay the price of their past deeds and since he can see to a certain extent (he has developed his Dibba-chakku a certain extent) of the past, he can advice the people how to act (not react) to reduce the punishment at the present or in other words, by working on skillful thought, words and deeds, the person can change his/her future.
We can not forget the history. It is very valuable, but don't lament on it and wait until the inevitable results come. Since you are a human being with a develop mind , not an animal behaving accordint to its instinct, you can think skillfully and act according to change the results in order to make your life a better one.
For that you have to see and find the unskillful thoughts in your own mind, not in others minds.
Until you see your own unskillful thoughts, you can't purify your mind.
You can't see or it is absurd to try to show others unskilful thoughts in their minds and ask them to clean it.
Everybody has to do it themselves.
So knowledge of history is worth but not to lament on it but to change the history to be written. |
