the restoration of the religion' and proclaimed s curse spread, When his yellow canary is eaten by the snake cobra, The complete story at King Tutankhamun In Bible versus Quran: who was Nicodemus, The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (20) This is the 20th article (and the last one) of the series: "The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran" , The Bible says that the Lord Jesus said no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again of water and the Spirit and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit, The Noble Quran says that the Spirit belongs to Allah's knowledge, about which you know not, Also the Quran replies the disbelievers who claim that the Angels are God's daughters; and also, the Quran answers the dualists who claim that Satan is Allah's partner, , It is interesting that the Bible claims that the Lord Jesus said that the wind blows wherever it pleases, you hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from and you cannot tell where it goes, From the scientific point of view, winds are plotted on surface weather analyses indicating the direction the wind is blowing from as well as its strength, and over much of the globe wind speeds are measured over a ten-minute time frame, Wind direction is reported by the direction from which it originates and where it goes with the use of weather vanes, Everyday, the "Weather Forecasts" on TV, radio, newspaper etc, determine precisely the direction of the wind, where it comes from and where it goes, Hence, the Bible initiates an important question: Has the Lord Jesus refuted the climatology and the Wind Advisory, Has the Lord Jesus denied the Weather Forecasts, As a matter of fact, I do not believe that the Lord Jesus said that; He knows better than the Scientists, -------------------------------------------------------------------- , The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (20) , The Bible (John 3:1-8) says: Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council, He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God, For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him," In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again,", "How can a man be born when he is old," Nicodemus asked, "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit, Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit,, You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again,', The wind blows wherever it pleases, You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going, So it is with everyone born of the Spirit," -------------------------------------------- , John 3:1-8 (King James Version) 1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him, 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God, 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old, can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born, 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God, 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit, 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again, 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit, , =================================================== , The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (20) , The Noble Quran says that the Spirit is of the command of Allah; it belongs to His knowledge, about which you know not, Also, the Quran answers back the disbelievers who claim that the angels were GodAnthropology in India' (Bharatiya Vidiya Bhavan Publication),The Arab traders/merchants who first landed in the North of the island called Serentivu/Serendipa as Serendip,,Let me give some examples of the Naga Kings who bore the Naga clan names,The first Queen, Anula (47-41 BC) was the widow of Chora Naga and Kuda Tissa, ugg boots sale uk She made Siva, the palace porter as her consort, Subsequently she poisoned Siva and lived with an Indian carpenter, Vatuka, a firewood carrier Dharubatissa, and a palace priest named Neeliya, all of whom she poisoned, till she finally ruled the country alone and continued to live an infamous life, She was burnt alive by Kuttakanna Tissa, the second son of Cula Maha Tissa, who found that he had the backing of all of the people of Lanka to put an end to such an ignominious sovereign, King Candamuka Siva (44-52 AD) the Son of Ila Naga married Damila Devi, Looking further, Khallata Naga (109BC) son of Saddha Tissa, Cora Naga (63BC) son of Valagamba and grandson of Saddha Tissa ugg sale (incidentally he was the husband of Anula (48BC) whose first paramour was Siva), Ila Naga (36AD), Mahallaka Naga (136AD), grandson of Vasabha (67AD) and brother-in-law of Gajaba (114AD), Kudda Naga (188AD), grandson of Mahaliaka Naga, Siri Naga I (184AD), likewise grandson of Mahallaka Naga, Abhaya Naga (231AD), son of Siri Naga I, Siri Naga II (240 AD) grandson of Siri Naga I, uggs store Maha Naga (565AD) etc, and King Siva (515 AD) the Uncle of Kirti Sena,,The kings belonging to the Tissa and Lambakarana dynasties that ruled the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Anuradhapura were Prakrit speaking Nagas, Dutugemunu, the national hero of Sri Lanka, was a Naga king belonging to the Tissa dynasty, His mother Vihara Maha Devi was the daughter of the Naga king of Keleniya, and his father Kavan Tissa, was the great grandson of Maha Naga, who established a kingdom in Mahagama in Rohana, Maha Naga's older brother, Devanampiya Tissa, a contemporary of Emperor Asoka, was the first king of the Tissa dynasty, Some of the Tissa kings who proudly bore Naga clan names were Khallata Naga (Dutugemunu's nephew), Cora Naga, who was one of the many victims poisoned to death by the amorous Queen Anula, Mahadathika Maha Naga and Ila Naga, Yasa Lalaka Tissa was the last king of the first dynasty that ruled the Anurdhapura kingdom,,A few known names of the Naga poets of Sri Lanka who contributed to ancient Tamil literature are Elaththu Pootha Thevanar (whose compositions are included in anthologies known as Nattrinai, Kurunthokai and Puranaanooru), Mudingarayar, Musiri Asiriyar, Neelakandanar and Ela Nakar,,On the other hand, the old Tamil names found in South India s membership because the coup ousted a civilian government, After assuming power, MusharrafMahavamsa', or Tika or the thevaaram that the ancient Tamil Saiva poet, Thirignanasampanthar sang on 'Theiruketheesvaram' and 'Thirukoneswaram' or the reference to Siva temple in relation to Raavana in Ramaayana or what Dr, Paul E, Peiris declared at a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society or the remains of several Saiva shrines unearthed at Anuradapura, or king Sena1 (833

Vellalar' and the reason behind the introduction of Thesawalamei Law (adopted from Malabar Muslim Customary Law) by Dutch was to encourage the Vellalar of South India to come and grow tobacco,,It was Markus Vink, a Dutch historian who first mentioned quoting a Dutch Record, in an article published in the 'Journal of World History', the Slave trade was flourishing during the Dutch period (17th century AD), There was a famine in South India during that period and slaves were brought to Sri Lanka and to a few other countries from the Coromandel Coast in South India in 1658-1663, 1670/71-1689/90, Although he mentioned that, ten thousand slaves were settled in the South of Sri Lanka (Colombo, Galle and the entire South West) where cinnamon grew to perfection; he did not say how many were settled in Jaffna,,5,2, Cinnamon TradeFrom the time of the Portuguese, who had a monopoly of trade in spices, they developed the cultivation of spices in Sri Lanka and established a lucrative trade, Cinnamon was the staple export, It was 'the Helen or bride of contest' (as Baldaeus called it) for whose exclusive possession successive European invaders had in turn contended, Dutch Governor Rijckloff van Goens Jr, (1675-80) stated cinnamon is said to be the bride around whom they dance in Ceylon, If not for cinnamon, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British would not have taken such interest in this tiny island of Sri Lanka,Other than for Cinnamon, coffee and coconut plantation in the South, the Dutch also used them for domestic purpose,Let me quote from the report of the Dutch writer Markus Vink:"In 1661, 10,000 slaves had been put to work by the company and by private individuals on the lands in South-western Ceylon, including 2,000 company slaves, In 1694, the city of Colombo alone had a slave population of 1,761,",The Sinhalese population increased exponentially and became a majority in Sri Lanka only after these people brought by the Portuguese ugg australia uk and the Dutch assimilated with the local Sinhalese population,Only those that the British brought in the 19th century AD and settled in the upcountry did not assimilate with the Sinhalese (even though they were highly discriminated by the Vellalar Tamils) because the British had a different policy/agenda and they maintained it till they left the island in 1948, (If given a choice, they will prefer to join with the Sinhalese rather than Tamils),,5,3, Vellalar DominationWhen the last Tamil king of Jaffna, Cankli Kumaran was fighting decisively with the Portuguese forces, Jaffna was well populated with Tamils,The C Sinhala version was edited by Ven, Hikkaduwe Sumangala thero (aka Don Niculas Gunawardhana), Ven, Hikkaduwe Sumangala along with Don Andris de Silva Batuvantudave have amended, modified, added and edited the Mahavamsa to suit the Sinhala race,,In the Trustworthiness of the Mahavamsa by Wilhelm Geiger the author says, I do not consider the final chapter 101 which has been added by Sumangala and Batuwantudawa, the authors of the edition princeps,,2,5, Sinhalese ConfusedMost probably due tomisinformation or lack of clear information, during the last few decades, the Sinhala Buddhists Nationalists were concocting many different versions of their history, some of them contradicting each other,There is one group that totally believes in the Mahavamsa, that about two thousand five hundred years ago, Vijay and 700 men (Aryans) came from North India, took Tamil Pandya wives (Dravidians) from South India and formed the Sinhala race,Another group, the followers of Anagarika Dhammapala believes the same but without the Tamil connection, that is, the Sinhalese are pure North Indian Aryans and did not mix with anybody,Then there is another group known as the Jaathika Chinthanaya (national consciousness) movement founded by Gunadasa Amarasekera(Sinhala writer/poet and dentist) that believes, about two thousand five hundred years ago, Vijaya Singh and his clan (Aryans) came from North India and landed in Hela Diva and mixed with the Hela tribes that lived in Sri Lanka and formed a Sinhala Nation under king Pandukabhaya, From that cross breeding the name Sinhala came to all the progeny of these immigrants (Singh + Hela = Sinhala), and the Sinhala race/nation already existed during king Tissa's period when Mahinda Thero brought Buddhism to Sri Lanka and during King Devanampiya Tissa's period the Sinhalese became Buddhists and the Sinhala-Buddhist society was established,,Today, another group of Sinhalese-Buddhists by the name Hela Havula (Sinhalese literary organization founded by Munidasa Cumaratunga) have created a new theory (Siv + Hela = Sinhala) linking Ravana to the Sinhalas and totally contradicting the Mahavamsa to say that the Sinhalas are the original natives of Sri Lanka (even before Ravana) from the four tribes known as Siv-hela (Deva, Naga, Yakka, & Rakhsasa) and not migrants from India as mentioned in the Mahavamsa, Their theory is purely based on the Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabaratha, Some of them even want to add the Mahayana Buddhist text Lankavatara Sutta which is based on Ramayana to Sinhala-Buddhism,,None of the above versions have any archeological/epigraphic evidence in Sri Lanka or India and the present day historians do not accept any of the above as true, Till now, the actual history of Sri Lanka (Sinhalese and Tamils) is not likely to be concluded and we still have to wait for more archeological cheap uggs discoveries for any breakthrough,,To be continuedC to take part in the two-way gesture, Students who are burnt out from their college education thrice blessed' by none other than Buddha),,Confirmed that Vijaya and his followers (convicted criminals and non-Buddhists), the ancestors of today's Sinhala community, are said to have landed on the island of Lanka (Promised Land), exactly on the day he attains Parinibbana (his passing away), ,Made arrangements for the safety of Vijaya and his followers, He calls on Sakka (Indra), who in turn calls Vishnu (Upulvan) for divine intervention and help to protect his chosen people (Sinhala Jathiya) and their promised land (Dhammadeepa) and his Dhamma (Buddhism) for a full 5000 years,,Even though Siddharta Gautama was from a Hindu background, the concept of God in Hinduism (Brhama, Vishnu, Siva) is completely different from the (Brhama, Deva) in Buddhism, Buddha never mentioned about any Hindu Gods (Tripitaka), By introducing the above myths and attributing it to Buddha, the Mahavamsa is not only perverting Gautama Buddha's peerless Dhamma, but also making it an orthodox Theravada Buddhist doctrine of Sinhala-Buddhism in Sri Lanka ugg boots uk which ultimately has transformed the Gautama Buddha into a special patron of Sinhala (Mahavamsa) Buddhism, an ethnic religion (political) created in Sri Lanka, The outcome of the above is the Jathika Chinthanaya or Mahavansa-mindset [Rata (Sinhala Country) yana Buddhists from South India, All the kings who supported Mahayana were portrayed as the worst men possible, The biggest victim was Kassapa who was termed as a father-killer for a crime he probably never committed, There are still some Tamil Mahayana Buddhist establishments (Palli) in the east and possibly in the Jaffna peninsula, The best known was Velgam Vehera, which was renamed Rajaraja-perumpalli after the Cola emperor, Another was the Vikkirama-calamekan-perumpalli, The number of ancient Buddha statues found other than in Sri Lanka was in Tamil Nadu showing a strong presence of Buddhism,,1,4, Tamil Buddhist EpicsThe well known Tamil Buddhist epics found were Manimekalai, Silappadhikaram, Valaiyapathi, Kundalakesi, and Jivaka Cintamani, The lost Tamil Buddhist works include the grammar,Virasoliyam, the Abhidhamma work,Siddhantattokai, the panegyric,Tiruppadigam, and the biography,Bimbisara Kada, Manimekalai, a purely Buddhist work of the 3rd Sangam period in Tamil literature is the most supreme and famous among the Buddhist work done in Tamil, It also talks about the Tamil Buddhists in the island/Nagadipa but, neither Manimekalai nor Silappathikaram is a historical work,,Commenting on the very great popularity of the story of Pattini in Sinhalese villages, Dr, Godakumbura writes: "Literature, dealing with Pattini and the origin of the worship, is very large, and most of it has come from Tamil sources," He gives a fairly comprehensive list of Sinhalese writings based on the stories of,Silappathikaram,and,Manimekalai,,The ancient Tamil literature and the excavations (archeological findings) in Jaffna proves the existence of Tamils including Tamil Buddhists (Theravada and Mahayana) but there is no evidence what so ever to prove the existence of a separate Tamil Kingdom in Jaffna before the 13th century AD and the same goes to the Sinhalese, The temptation to consider that everything Buddhist in Sri Lanka is necessarily Sinhalese has to be resisted, as it must be remembered that the Tamils, Andhras, and Kalingas, also were at one time Buddhists, and had a very large share in the dissemination of Buddhist culture in the countries of South-East Asia,,The history of Sri Lanka, from the 3rd century A,D, to the 9th century A,D, is permeated with the influence of Buddhism and Buddhist culture, This includes from early historical times, the intrusion of Pali and Sanskrit languages and their spread among the ancient Tamils of Sri Lanka and their Dravidian culture, as well as the origin of the new language from Sanskrit, Pali and Tamil languages known as Elu/Helu (Sihala Prakrit),,1,5, Nagas (Chera/Sera), Pandyans/Pandu and Cholas/Sola (Damelas)The evidence of the presence of Nagas in Sri Lanka during the early historic period and how they freely assimilated with the Pandu (Pandyans) through marriage is fully corroborated by the ancient artifacts, inscriptions literary work and the Pali chronicles, The Pali chronicle Mahavamsa projects the Non-Buddhists as Damelas (foreigners/invaders) but still it could not help linking the Pandyans of Tamil country even in the genesis of Sinhalese in Sri Lanka indicating the strong presence of Pandyans (Pandu) during that period,, Let us not forget that the Nagas were not unique to Sri Lanka, in the early historic period, the Nagas not only occupied Nakanatu/Nagadipa in Sri Lanka but also Nagar-Kovil, Naga-Pattinam and a few other places in South India and as per Prof, Indrapala, both Nagas and Damelas were also moving back and forth between Sri Lanka and South India,,Today the Nayar (Nagar) from Chera (Kerala) are believed to be the descendants of Nagas, Dr, G, C,,Mendis,
