What I learned about the Esala Perahara for you too

  What I learned about the Esala Perahera for you too... Today, Kandy is famous all over the world for this annual Esala Perahera. Ending the drought season, this festival is a ritual to pay homage to the Tooth Relic to bring rain. Both the Mahanayake Theras and the Diyawadana Nilame are responsible for the protection of the Tooth Relic which was in the custody of the previous Kings. The Mahanayake Thero of Asgiriya Maha Viharaya and the Mahanayake Thero of Malwathu Maha Viharaya are the same. Diyawadana Nilame is the foremost lay official who takes care of the Tooth Relic. Diyawadana Nilame means the officer who increases the water. Since the Tooth Relic has the power to increase water due to rain, the officer in charge of the Tooth Relic is called Diyawadana Nilame.  The Tooth Relic was brought from the Dambadiv plateau by Princess Hemamala and the Tooth Prince. Keerthi Sri Meghawarna alias Kithsiri was the King of Lakdiva at the time.(303 - 331 AD) King Wimaladharmasuriya I...

  HELPING THE NEEDY... There are many helpless people in our country. The poor are not the only beggars. Sometimes when there is no one to lend a hand to someone who may have other people in distress, he becomes helpless when he gets into trouble. Therefore, it is our duty to do some service to such a helpless, poor person . There are many people who have suffered due to natural disasters people who are mentally and physically disabled are also helpless. Helping people like this is a valuable habit. The beggar is certainly a helpless person. Most of them do not work for their daily livelihood. So thay have no way to make money. They ask for food, clothing and money for their needy family members. So it is our duty to ask to help and help when they come to us. Our country is not a rich country. There are a lot of people here who can't even adjust their daily diet. Others have nothing to cover their bodies with. Some are homeless. The helpless beggars spend the night on the side walk...

Literature that gives experience to our lives

  Literature that gives experience to our lives... A tree needs water to grow flowers. At the same time, literature is essential for our lives to be nourished by virtue. Literature is a medium that gives a wealth of experience to our lives. What literature does is it delves into the subtleties of how people think and act. Literary elements such as short stories, novels, poems, songs and plays describe that human life. The world is not just dark. And not just light. It's neither the darkness nor the light in the word. Literature clearly shows both the good side and the bad side of the world.  An experience is a new learning gained from what is seen, heard or done. The more experienced people are the wiser ones. But we do not have the sapace to see, hear or do everything in this world. Literature filles that gap. Literature brings us universal experiences. Those who practice literature make that universal experience their own. The knowledge gained from Literature makes man intel...

Water resources that give us life

Water resources that give us life... In any country that inherits a beautiful natural environment, that country's water resources countribute to its beauty. Water resources are a fundamental factor in the origin and survival of life. Therefore, water is essential for all living things, including humans. Due to this importance, the United Nations has declared March 22 as "International Water Day". Named the Blue Planed, it is said to have been likened to the divine nectar of water resources. But 97% of the blue planet's water bodies are in the oceans and seas. About 2.4% of the remaining water is ice and groundwater. Accordingly, although the amount of water in oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and lakes is very large it is said that only 0.1% of it can be utilized.  No matter how precious the water resources are, the water resources are being destroyed due to various wrong human activities. The first is the felling of trees. Trees are an essential factor in activating the w...

But it allhas an inherent beauty. So I'm going to tell you about the kingdom I have lived in for 21 years. I now when you talk about a kingdom,you think I'm kidding. I live in one of the most important and historical places in Sri Lanka and it is yapahuwa kingdom.  Yapahuwa was one of the ephemeral capitals of medieval Sri Lanka. The citadel of Yapahuwa lying midway between kurunegala and anuradhapura was built around a huge granit rock rising abruptly almost a hundred meters above the surrounding lowlands. In 1272, king Bhuvanekabahu transferred the capital from Polonnaruwa to Yapahuwa in the face of Dravidian invasions from South India,bringing the Sacred Tooth Relic. Fallowing its capture, Yapahuwa was largely abandoned and inhabited by Buddhist monks and religious ascetics. Yapahuwa served ...
