World's Largest Gem Stone Buddha Statue in Sri Lanka New Stamps To World’s largest gem stone Buddha statue in Sri Lanka The Pedi Vishva Shanthi Buddha statue considered the world’s biggest Buddha statue built of gem stones which is taken around the world for exposition invoking blessings on the globe and its inhabitants will be brought to Sri Lanka this month (August). On the instructions of the President it will be first brought to Temple Trees and later kept for public homage and veneration in Colombo. The statue which is a replica of the Buddha statue at the Maha Bodhi Viharaya in Bodhgaya, India is 2.7 meters in height and four tones in weight. It has been built of a rare green colored gemstone called polar pride obtained from Vancouver, Canada. The Buddha statue will be taken round Asian Countries this year. New stamps to mark Nallur festival New stamps were issued to mark the renowned Nallur Kanthaswamy Kovil Annual Festival 2012 at the kovil premises. Under the guidance of Northern Province Governor, the Postal Department issued the stamps. Three types of Rs 5 stamps were released on the holy flag hoisting day. Nallur has an old and rich history. It is considered as a social, religious and cultural place in Jaffna. Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil or Nallur Murugan Kovil is one of the most significant Hindu temples in the Jaffna district. The presiding deity is Lord Muruga in the form of the holy Vel. The idol of the Nallur Devi or goddess was gifted to the temple in the 10th century by the Chola queen Sembiyan Mahadevi, in the style of Sembian bronzes. The year of foundation of the Nallur Kandaswamy Temple is 948 CE. According to the Yalpana Vaipava Malai, the temple was developed at the site in the 13th century by Puvenaya Vaku, a minister to the Jaffna King Kalinga Magha. Sapumal Kumaraya (also known as Chempaha Perumal in Tamil), who ruled the Jaffna kingdom on behalf of the Kotte kingdom is credited with either building or renovating the third Nallur Kandaswamy temple. Nallur served as the capital of the Jaffna kings, with the royal palace situated close to the temple. Nallur was built with four entrances with gates. There were two main roadways and four temples at the four gateways. This year, the festival started with the holy flag hoisting ceremony on Jul 24 and will end on August 17 with the water cutting ceremony. Ayubowan!

A 575-acre area of the sea opposite the Galle Face Green is being filled up to build the new Colombo city. Construction of the new Colombo City will be completed by a private investor in 39 months at an investment of US$ 900 million. The proposed offshore city, to be divided into three segments- business, residential and leisure, will be developed into a modern city with high rises, hotels, residential apartments, shopping malls, and other space to cater to the public needs. Building this New Colombo City on Sea will be carried out in coordination with the Urban Development Authority, Colombo Municipal Council, All Service Ministries, and the Archaeological Department. Over 20 development projects for Matara The government has extended top priority to develop Matara.

According to ministry official, over Rs 1,488 million has been allocated for the project and over 50 per cent of renovation activities have been already completed. Ayubowan! Sri Lanka № 24’2012 | August 1, 2012 2 Perahera and Festivals still go on The Randoli Maha Perahera up country and low country with Sabaragamuwa dancers and elephants paraded the streets of Knady on August 1st. The festival will conclude with the Deva- danaya (Alms giving to Gods) on August 10. Nallur festival started on July 24 and will end on August 17 with the water cutting ceremony. Underwater expeditions for tourists in Galle The Southern Province Tourism Ministry has taken measures to provide opportunities for tourists to explore sunken ships near the Galle harbour with the support of the Archaeological Department; about 25-30 sunken ships are found in seas surrounding the Galle harbour. Tourist arrivals to Sri Lanka have increased due to the peaceful situation in the country. Therefore, the country is taking necessary initiatives and projects to provide new experience for the tourists to make their journey unforgettable Accordingly, the permission will be granted from October for tourists to dive to view the sunken ships. Several private companies are to provide the services to the aspirant tourists. The Southern Province is the first province which started tourism as an industry. The Southern Province has a large number of tourist attractions such as Kanneliya, Singharaja, Turtle Hatcheries, Bird Sanctuaries, wildlife safari parks, apart from the mesmerizing beaches. The ministry also plans to develop some other areas as tourist destinations. Monkey business Monkeys are full of curiosity, adventure, mischief and intelligence. Although most monkeys look the same with their long arms and human- like faces, there are over 250 breeds in this species. When hunting for food they work in groups, always having a leader that gathers food while others stand guard. Monkeys speak a language for alerting danger and apparently they have a word for each dangerous predator. However, according to a website on monkeys there have been times when they were discovered to lie amongst each other. While hunting for food, if the leader sometimes finds a treat like an egg, and if he wants that egg for himself without sharing with the others, he will yell “TIGER!”, and while his group of hunters retreats into the trees, he has lots of time to kick back and eat the egg all for himself! Featured here are some images of a troop of monkeys during their playful daily bathing rituals near the Dhowa Temple in Bandarawela. This troop which was observed to have always Ayubowan! Sri Lanka № 24’2012 | August 1, 2012 3 been together was having playing with each other and then when their bath time came along started swimming around having fun, while the elder ones were seen to be scrubbing the grime away from the younger ones backs! Sri Lanka is home to at least five species of monkeys – the Hanuman Langur with its special roots in Indian mythology, the endemic purple-faced leaf monkey and the toques to the shy nocturnal Loris. The island has no big apes like the mountain gorilla’s that have made Africa famous, the orangutans of Borneo or close relatives to people – the chimpanzees, but is rich in several endemic races of monkeys. Sri Lanka shares the grey or Hanuman Langur with India – a graceful animal with long limbs, a pale grayish brown coat, a dark face and long eyelashes to protect it from the glare while feeding on treetops. The Langurs are believed to be incarnations of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman, who, legend has it, fought to rescue a queen from Sri Lanka’s forests, getting caught in a fire on his heroic dash that burned his face, hands and feet black. The Langur lives in large groups among the trees and is usually not aggressive. Groups of these monkeys are a common sight at some of the Buddhist temples in the dry region, and most often seen begging for giveaways, or if un-successful, stealing, from the unsuspecting visitor. The red monkey, with a brown colored coat and a pink face, is far more aggressive and quick tempered. This species, if provoked, have known to attack humans occasionally. Primates have always captured the imagination of people. The question is, can monkeys help sell Sri Lanka? The answer is “yes”, while on the trail of a Hanuman Langur in the island’s ancient kingdom of Sigiriya. Sigiriya in the dry central province of the island is a good place to watch for Langurs, along with other more extroverted endemic monkey, the toque macaques, with its characteristic cap of hair. Monkeys have also long been associated with cultural sites around the island, making other archaeological reserve Polonnaruwa a popular site for primates that occur in troops. Specialist tour operators’ and the travel press have increasingly begun featuring primate tours, and Sri Lanka has rich array of primates to showcase.

A son, borne by mother earth in her womb to live a full hundred years. Might in his arms and shoulders light in his eyes, and in his heart desire for upliftment amid sorrow. He came. He was young. Yes, a man. The brother of the one who only the day before with agility of mind as wings on his shoulder climbed the sky, to touch the moon and return -a hard worker. He came to draw the rope with a wish in his heart: "Today we shall all be of one mind". "Halt" said one. "Stop" said another. "A weed" said one. "Of low birth" said another. "Say" said one. "Set alight" said another. The fall of a stone, the slitting of a throat, the flight of a lip and teeth that scattered, the splattering of blood, and an earth that turned red. A fight there was, and people were killed. A chariot for the village to draw stood still like it struck root. On it, the mother goddess, the creator of all worlds, sat still, dumbfounded by the zealotry of her children. Out there, the kin of the man who only the day before had touched the moon is rolling in dirt.

He was immaculate in appearance as he was pure in thought. The silver-white hair and beard along with the spotlessly white raiment he wore were symbolic of his saintliness and sanctity. He traversed the length and breadth of his country and transformed the lives of many who otherwise would have gone astray. The epoch in which he lived saw many an upheaval of regeneration and much degeneration of cherished values as well. But amidst all the transient phenomena he was as firm as Mount Kailas - a refuge to souls in distress and despair. He infused faith in his devotees and led them out into the light of hope and happiness. Even those whose contacts with him were casual or cursory had a glimpse of the spiritual significance of life.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The two important temples at Munnesvaram, on the west coast of Sri Lanka, are Hindu and are run by Tamil priests. Their patronage is largely Sinhalese Buddhist. They are the context for an examination of the relations between Hinduism and Buddhism in modern Sri Lanka in a period of violent ethnic tension between Tamils and Sinhalese. The thesis falls in two parts. The first deals with the history of the temples in the colonial and post-colonial eras, the history of religious difference, and with a social analysis of the two groups of priests and of the worshippers. This establishes grounds for a consideration of current anthropological debates on hierarchy and on historicity.
