If I ask the question which came first “Original Lie or the Existence of Sri-Lanka”, it is like which came first the egg or the hen scenario with philosophical dimension come into play and muddy the context.
In any case lie is a perfect institution and in unison with world politics now.
Sri-Lanka is also in existence according to Commonwealth Conference except according to Canadian interpretation, basically Canadian lies, it belonged to
I have no intention of solving or countering Canadian lies.
Canadian lie on behalf of terrorists and Canada collect their ill gotten black money, basically from DRUGS.
If one applies for Canadian citizenship, one must prove that one is a hard core terrorist.
Instead, I decided to find how Sri-Lanka was formed according to geographical or geological data.
Inadvertently, I found answers to both the queries raised.
I looked at few of my sisters geography books and I dedicate this piece to her who is no more, for leaving a few of her books used in the University for me to casually browse.
The books are about 50 years old and both Adam’s interpretation and Wadia’s counter interpretation were not to my liking.
Both were on similar grounds and they differed in which came first and which came last.
In other words Adam’s first were Wadia’s last in historical terms.
Thoroughly dissatisfied, I retired and in my sleep, I saw a dream which the King Chethiya had dreamed.
I will put it in summary form.
One day in his daily routines King Chethiya asked his royal advisers, the question how Sri-Lanka was formed.
1. First Adviser
He told the king that Sri-Lanka was formed from a sandal worn by an angel who was eloping with another angel to another heavenly body.
In the rush the sandal/shoe fell down to the ocean and from it Sri-Lanka came into being.
King asked how the hills were formed and he promptly replied that it was a high heel shoe and when it fell it fell upside down with the high heel on top.
King then asked the second adviser
2. Second Adviser
The second adviser said that it was not due to a shoe but from a fallen crown that Sri-Lanka originated.
He went into say that the said angel had a duel with another angel before eloping.
They were fighting mounted on lions and while fighting the crown fell down and it was stained with lions blood and he fled with the angel abandoning the fight and the crown he was wearing.
Sinha-Le is in fact is Lion’s Blood and that is how the island was named.
3. Third Adviser
It was the turn of the third adviser to describe how Sri-Lanka was formed.
The third adviser felt it was difficult to beat the second tenet and after a pause said that both theories were wrong.
He said that about 5000 years ago there were two kings called Rama in North India and a Ravana in South India/Sri-Lanka.
Ravana went on a holiday and found Sita in North India and abducted her.
According to that theory Sri-Lanka was part of India to begin with and to avoid war and capture Ravana requested divine intervention and the acting head of heaven at that time broke part of India and made Sri-Lanka a safe haven for Rawana and all future smugglers to current day.
King Chethiya was not impressed.
He ordered beheading of all three in a weeks time and went to sleep.
All the other advisers fled.
He had a dream.
In his dream he saw Hanuman making a bridge across the Palk Straight.
The idea was to capture both Sita and Ravana.
He also saw the tail of the Hunuman had fire that engulfed his advancing path.
Unfortunately, King Chethiya woke up due to the intense heat generated in his dream.
When woken he saw all his advisers disappeared except the three who were chained.
He elaborated his dream to his terrified victims/advisers.
He asked them why did you lie?
They said to be a good king one has to be an expert in lying to his subjects and media men/women.
All the stories about all the previous kings were lies but recorded as true.
That is how one survive as a King and there is no alternative.
This is similar to the book, The Prince.
The God story was created to please the subjects and not kings.
The advisers told that lies were 10,000 years old and Sri-Lanka is only 5000 years old.
King Chethiya who hated lies up to that point of time adopted the new theory at lib.
So I got answers to both queries in one dream (not mine but King Chethiya’s).
Sri-Lankan lies are 10,000 old and Sri-Lanka is only 5000 years old.
We created lies without any racial or religious barriers and that is why we want the Commonwealth to adopt a similar strategy.
So, if any one of the foreign delegates ask the above questions in the conference from Sri-Lankan civil servant/s or presidential adviser/s, expect a plethora of lies and damn lies.
I was advised by my friends not to send this dream for interpretation by Maha Brahma which is my usual practice.
In actual fact, Kings dreams are not eligible for Maha’s interpretation as long as there are presidential advisers both active or aspiring to be.
