Risk Of Repeating The Past Continues-By Jehan Perera Source:Colombotelegraph ජෙහාන් පෙරේරා Sri Lanka’s ethnic conflict appears stagnant though with a supportive international environment. The international community with the US, EU and India in the lead have been supporting Sri Lanka both economically and politically, especially with regard to seeking a just and mutually acceptable solution to the long protracted ethnic conflict. There are examples of other seemingly intractable conflicts suddenly going away. But these never went away on their own. There was a lot of work that was done, often behind the scenes by leaders who put the future before the past. Sri Lanka needs to take its opportunity sooner rather than later, which it can if its political and thought leaders choose wisely. An example to emulate would be Western Europe after the Second World War. Prior to the end of ...

Exploring the Rich Heritage of Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil-by Kalani-eLanka Image Source:unsplash The serene landscapes of Jaffna, Sri Lanka, lies the majestic Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil, a Hindu temple that stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions and spiritual devotion. With its towering gopurams (gateway towers), intricate sculptures, and vibrant ceremonies, the temple is not just a place of worship but a living embodiment of cultural heritage and religious significance. The history of Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil dates back to the 10th century when the region was ruled by the Jaffna kingdom. It is believed that the original temple was constructed during this time, dedicated to the Hindu deity Lord Murugan, also known as Kandaswamy or Skanda. Over the centuries, the temple underwent several renovations and expansions, reflecting the evolving architectural styles and religious practices of the region. ...

The Michael Tissera Interview – with Ravi Rudra (19.12.2023) Download the PDF file . What was the major turning point in your crcketing career? “At school, I hardly scored runs consistently. Those days the school matches were played over two half-days and you looked to push the game along to get results. I got one only hundred while playing for College. The lack of big scores were more mental than technique. However, in my first Sara trophy game for NCC (in 1958), which I was lucky to play because I was ill the whole week but captain Vernon Prins insisted that I play, I got a hundred against Saracens. That turned my whole career around. Following that century which gave me a lot of confidence I scored three or four centuries in that debut season and I got picked to play for Ceylon in December of that year against Peter ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Are you weary are you heavy laden?- By Charles Schokman Jesus said–“Be still, and know that I am God;–Psalm 46:10 Are you in anyway troubled in Mind, Body or Spirit? Listen to what Jesus has to say:— God’s Longing To the listening ear I speak, to the waiting heart I come. Sometimes, I may not speak. I may ask you merely to wait in My Presence, to know that I am with you. Think of the multitudes who thronged Me when I was on earth all eager for something. Eager to be healed, or taught, or fed. Think as I supplied their many wants, and granted their manifold requests, what it meant to Me, to find amid the crowd, some one or two, who followed Me just to be near Me, just to dwell in My Presence. How some longing of the Eternal Heart was satisfied thereby. ...

walking reverses type 2 diabetes. With the compliments of Dr.Harold Gunatillake Thank you for sharing your information. I walk daily for about 4 hours, which amounts to 32,000 steps and 20 kilometres. On average, I take 35,000 steps each day. This habit has helped me reverse my type 2 diabetes, and I no longer require insulin. If you have type 2 diabetes, taking antidiabetic medication and adopting a low glycemic index (GI) diet can be helpful. You should aim to convert your insulin resistance into insulin sensitivity, and your pancreas is always prepared for that change. Walking for over 4 hours daily, like I do, can be the ultimate solution for all type 2 diabetics. At 95 years old, I still have a clear brain. If you visit my website, you will see what walking has done for me.www.Doctorharold.com http://www.Doctorharold.com view online <http://view.e.heartfoundation.org.au> http://click.e.heartfoundation.org.au/ ...
