The Gay Science is where Nietzsche first proclaimed the death of God. Without God, society could enjoy true freedom as determined by one s will to power. Do we not hear the noise of the grave-diggers who are burying God? he wrote. Do we not smell the divine putrefaction? for even Gods putrefy! God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him! How shall we console ourselves, the most murderous of all murderers? . . . Is not the magnitude of this deed too great for us? Shall we not ourselves have to become Gods, merely to seem worthy of it? Accordingly, he came to believe that by overcoming his need to conform to religious ideals, he could rise to the greatness within him.

Pillayan denies role in Maligawa attack

Says visit was no gimmick and hopes history will not be repeated

TMVP leader Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan, alias Pillayan, yesterday denied that he had had a hand in the 1998 LTTE attack on the Dalada Maligawa and expressed disappointment over growing criticism of his visit to the temple and calls for him to apologise for the attack.

I am disappointed that some sections see this as some sort of political gimmick. I am visiting all religious institutions purely to strengthen ties between the communities. This should be welcomed instead of being criticised, TMVP spokesman Azad Maulana quoted Pillayan as saying.

Neranjan Wijeratne, the former Diyawadana Nilame of the Dalada Maligawa, was among those who criticised Pillayan s visit to the temple and insisted that he apologise for the attack, alleging that Pillayan was among those who had masterminded the attack.

Pillayan, who was a member of the LTTE at the time, had dismissed the allegations saying he hoped history would not repeat itself and strain relations between the country s Buddhists and Hindus.

Mr. Maulana asserted that the purpose of Pillayan s visit to the sacred temple was to bridge the religious divide in the country and that it had no political motive.

Pillayan says the LTTE intelligence unit masterminded the operation and that it was a regrettable incident.

Mr. Wijeratne had said that people had not forgotten the attack, which he said was masterminded by Pillayan, and added that the Chief Minister should not have been allowed to meet the Mahanayake Theras under these circumstances.
