Who owns Sinhala / Tamil new year?

[x-pert]

OK. Nothing personal or whatever.. Got this mail from my brother. So thought of putting it here for your opinions and comments.

Note: Posted in PRO section. So proper comments only :)

Personaly I think the new year should be for both Sinhalese and Tamils.Because it is a good way and the best way to show the world that Sri Lankans are united irrespective of their Race / Religion. Because Sri Lanka doesn't belong only to Sinhala people.

Ape paththata 'nawenawa' kiyuwe? Mokakda ape 'paththa'?

[Clerk_Kent]

I agree with u X-pert ...this have to be called as Srilankan Awrudda ....
most srilankans celebrate this....
as i know not chatholics & also muslims celebrate this or even respect this...
did u see fazaal's siggy wishing a happy new year..that's a great example...
so this should be srilankans new year or some thing...
only my thoughts ...plz don't ger upset guys...:)

[malinda]

every sril lankan owns

[KishanW]

One question, who actually have proofs to prove that the media started to call this as "Sinhala/Hindu New year" ?

*My openion, who ever wrote this have their own plans to divide hindu and sinhala people and make more conflicts through this. Because we never had any problem about who celebrate or who wont celebrate new year. As i see this is just another attempt to make new problems inside the country.

naha kollo mama kiyanne ape jathiyata ladi thawath aya inna eka gana adambarai hariyata api weston wenna dagalanawa wage :lol:

[dilansri2]

hmmm

this is calling as sinhala and tamil new year bcoz to establish a unity between sinhala , tamil and all the people who lives in sri lanka. It is not good 4 blaming media. They are trying to make the unity in sri lanka.

when a part of sri lanka celebrating a new year theres no a unity between people who lives in sl. it shows that theres no a unity in sri lanka

in my point of view better to call the new year as sinhala and tamil new year.

[x-pert]

Ya machang.. Even we celebrate it.. Not as to the extend like the buddhists though. But still we also do have kawum kokis kiribath etc. :)

Ya it's better if we call this as Sri Lankan new year or something :D

Well then who started to call it like that machang?

Anyway totally agree with the rest of the comment :)
People are trying to create or rather worsen the conflicts.. But we have to have the brains ad balls to decide what is right and what is wrong..

They report! We think and decide ;) :)

[icreations]

bIG story neda...

accually i also got this Q...
but for the as i know this " awurudda " is based On Astrology Not Sinhala nor tamil
if we go back in time it has started from " Bhrahmana " people in india so the ppl who belive in astrology must celebrate... as most sri lankans believe so

its new year..

wat do u guys think...

[dilansri2]

Much better if we could call it as Sri Lankan New year like CK suggested :)
its good:D

[sriflipflop]

[nEoN_wHitE]

[ratedrkoman]

actually what if i say like this
even all the budhists in world doesn't celebrate the sinhala n tamil new year
so we can say this is not some kind of religious thing right ???
this is more of a ritual thing like yeah ???

i totally agree what CK said !

P.S i really like da mung kewmum :)

[icreations]

because both sinhala and tamil people be leave in nakath that why

thats wat i also said...

[Nash_Node]

In my personal opinion, I see a discripency here.

Sinhala - a nationality
Hindu - A religion
Tamil - a nationality.

However., the populer term of use is Sinhala - Hindu New year.

As far as I understand, this celebration can trase it's root's into the ancient King's time of Sri Lanka and as per the records (and as far as I know) it was started somewhere during the rane of King Parakramabahu of the Anuradhapura era.

So why did they start this ? (according to the "mahaweli wanshaya - which chapter I can't remember.. I think it's volume 11 or something)

They said, the king brought hoards and hoards of Indian slaves to build tanks and do other petty things around the country. Yes, also the kings has said to have had a special nag of getting down Indian Princesses for his personal brothel :)

Although by those days, the Jullian calender which we follow now was un-heard of, the Sri Lankan people was following the Moon Calender so did the Indians.

(From what I read) they say the King has named the New year day (of the moon calender) as Sinahlese and "Hindu" new year to satisfy the slaves comman wealth and the princesses in his brothel.

So why did the king "DID NOT" named it as Buddist-Hindu new year???????

SIMPLE., becuase those days there was "hardly" any other religion than "buddism" which was followed by Sri Lankans :)

Simple example and simple answer to anyone who's wondering on how did the name came to being isn't it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

PS.

I have been getting these simmilar mails from a "cult" called "MAHASOHON KALLIYA" and brutes and brats of all sorts.

I personally see a lack of education and understanding in these so called "web cults" who are suppose to look into the interests of "sinhalese" These idiots acts no second to a die hard "jihad member of Osama bin laden" :angry:

No Kidding, seriously. Someone should really talk some sense into these under-educated stupid dickheads who marginalize them selves as DA SAVIOURS of the Sinhala Race.

and just in case if anyone of these so called "cult members" are reading this..

My answer!

SRI LANKANS are the owners of it!

eeka hari.. but it depends On astrology neda... :confused:
also as i know onlt lankans celibrate it ne

only my thoughts ...plz don't ger upset guys...:)
But machan there are many differenses between the way that Sinhalese and Tamil celebrates new year!
Tamils do more things than us for new year like puttin "Kolam" etc.
Calling it Srilankan new year depends on how Indians(Tamils) celebrate it.
Its really good if we can say like that!

[Nash_Node]

Sorry, but that's a stupid answer.

NO ONE., let me reapeat. NO ONE can "OWN" a festival.

So the next thing we know, the Germans will declare WAR against the beer loving alchoholic Sri Lankans for holding the "Octoberfest" :lol::lol:

What Sri Lankan people in general need is an understanding of "where" and "when" to draw a "clear" line between Rasism, Petrotisism and "SHEER STUPIDNESS"

I see this topic of Talking "who owns the celebration" is just pure stupid. We need not have to go "overboard" with our immotions to satisfy the ethnic confussion which in this country.

It's just about, " Understand and respect my space and freedom, and I will do the same to you"

ex: Let me celebrate Vesak by putting a Humangouse lodspeaker and blasting out buddist preaching all throughout the week.......................and Vice versa I will let you do the same for a week on Christman carrols for a week.........

But if you just run to the police and complain that you are disturbed, but expect me to listen to all the preaching for a week because you are the MAJORITY.. then my son........."WE HAVE A PROBLEM"

So regardless of you being following any religion of any cast.............. Just respect my space and freedom, and I will most definetely do the same towards you and honour you"

That's it...............all other's are just NGO created BULLSHIT

Yes that really make sense when the time whn King brought monks for "Upasampada" from Buruma buddhisum was facing lots of trobels. and also
There was a great influence of hindu because many years indian kings ruled sri lanka (Elara, Kaalinga Magha, and those 7 came in Valagamba times:() for many years...
Because of it Buddhist Tempels also have this statues of Hindu Gods.
I think this word evolved as Sinhala/Hindu new year because of that!

but we share it with them buy sending a food plate to them..
and they also share their events like Christmas, Nombi and etc..
with us to..
so we have our own events..
they have their own events..
we share them with each other..
so no problems..
BTW is Tamils celebrate new year on April 14th..?

[Nash_Node]

Because of it Buddhist Tempels also have this statues of Hindu Gods.
I think this word evolved as Sinhala/Hindu new year because of that!
Let me correct you on this one.

The influence of Hindu Idol's in temples and the incersation of them began in the era of King Sri Wickrama Raja singhe:yes:

Yes, no kidding. Till that time all "kovils" was placed out side of the temples and operated. (visit the Anceint cities and temples and see the ruins has the Kovils OUTSIDE the temple...never inside of it)

When Raja Singhe was fighting the Britsh, he was running out of men and power and sent out a SOS message to the Indian Maharaja's whome he has "imported" wive's from.

But "ALAS" they did help too late, but one of the condition they put was to intergrate the Kovils' inside to the temples. (you can read and get more information on this devestating "deal" by going through chapters in "mahawanshaya" regarding the Kandy era)

Ok, I know, I am refering to too many books :rolleyes:. But let me recommend you all a series of books (18 Volumes) if you have time to read and money to buy it.

"Mahaweli Wanshaya" 18 Volumes(books). Cost around 2850/- per book (5 years ago) and available at Mahawelu Kendraya and I think they have these books in reference section at the Colombo Library.

I can lend you the complete series if you are genuinly interested on learning A-Z about Sri Lankan History and on the solem promise of that you are GOING TO RETURN IT :D

BTW. Each book is around 1200 Pages :) so, that's gonna be a lot of reading :D :D :D :D :D

And some Great Kings have let free the girls...
But machan it was common for all Kings.. we are good by the way than China...
Chinese emperors had over 500 girls:shocked: according to Art of War by Sun Tzu...
I don't think its a disgrace... It'll be a gisgrace if its a lie!:D

lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ok.. enough kidding.

getting back to the reply.

well., whether you like it or not, KINGS had BROTHELS !!! so accept it, face it and live with it. You can't dignify it more than that. Though you can use some fancy words like "pleassure houses' etc etc., the basic fact is, KINGS had Brothels or in more layment words "Whore houses" or as Sri Lankan will more understand "Massage joints with flesh"

So... LIVE WIT IT:lol:

As per the Cults... well.... all I can say is that they are pretty much "welcome" to EDUCATE people about the happenings.

But that doesn't mean they can utter each and every BULLSHIT that comes to their mind without thinking whether it's true or fales.

Now for an example, think of a 12 year old Kid, getting this so called "enlightment message". He would most defintely keep this in his mind and act on it as such. But the grave danger is that... this is FALES. absolutely fales !!!

so do you HELP or SUPPORT these uneducated CLUTS to pollute and misguide the younger generation?? is it what you stand for?

hey i have some comments abt this.. i actually talk 2 a indan about this matter.. will tell u in a while ok:):D
ok here’s da thing.. i know dis Indian guy who's working with me (he's hindu).. and i asked him about this sinhala new yr.. he sed they also celebrate it, bt not like we do.. they call it another name and also he sed it is not their new yr... he sed it's Lord Krishna's Bday.. and they celebrate dat..

bt as indain hindu ppl saying, it's lord Krishnas Bday :)

[nEoN_wHitE]

(From what I read) they say the King has named the New year day (of the moon calender) as Sinahlese and "Hindu" new year to satisfy the slaves comman wealth and the princesses in his brothel.

So why did the king "DID NOT" named it as Buddist-Hindu new year???????

SIMPLE., becuase those days there was "hardly" any other religion than "buddism" which was followed by Sri Lankans :)

exactly..well sed:):D

Nice Discussion..

@ Nash_Node>>

I agree with some of your points. But don't go off topic please. That's why I put this in the PRO section. Coz I knew some people might try to gain political benefits by this by talking irrelevant stuff.

For your record, this article isn't from Mahasohon kalliya. Even I don't like that much of extremism. Posted this to obtain other people's thought and I really don't know how Mahasohona is related to this.

So pls stick to the topic!

@ Sriflipflop

Well., that was a long big explannation, but I find that it was merely based on the observation of "Ariyasen Ahubudu"

I don't whether you guys going to kick me for that. But I personally think (OK.. PERSONALLY) Ariyesen has an issue with everything and too much of whimpy woe.

May be it's just my Personal preference, but I tend to stay pretty clear of hind sighted extremist the like of Ariyasen. :)

It's just comical the way people try to bring about RELIGION to any damn thing these days. I mean can anyone of you point out to any "religiouse" reference during the New Year celebrations?

I am not a budhdhist and I don't celebrate the April New year. But as far as I know, the omen's during the festival says "Observe religiouse activities" without marginalizing WHICH religion that they are refering it too.

So., extremist hind sighted woe's like Ariyasen tends drag Buddhism into each and everything that they see fancy..............which in my opinion is just pure stupidness.


Continuing on the same,

If Ariyasen like to drag buddism into it, then someone should reming him that the concept of "new year" at present if soley based on "chasing away the bad omens of the previouse year and bringout a new fresh begining to the new year" where you observe and go through all that good practices......

so, in view of that, Ariyasen should be reminded that it's budhdhas' preaching NOT TO trust on Good / Bad omens where a follower should only trust the Dhamma and Dhamma only it self (correct me if I am wrong)

So what should be the "point" Ariyasen is trying to make?

New year is based on buddhist practises, but on the other side, buddha specifically noted NOT TO DO THE VERY SAME THING YOU ARE DOING as "celebrating new year"

again.. it's just personal view of the people like "Ariyasen" which I steer clear at any cost

you know much about our history..
but you cant read sinhala nee..
he didn't define is as buddhist practice...
what he did was pointing out how the tamil part came..
and for that he got some example from buddhist literature...(not all of them)
i think you didnt read it all so do it..

[Djpata]

ok wht i think abt this matter in kinda diff way ...
All this Sinhala/Hindu New Year or Sinhala/tamil New Year , Christmas,Deepawali,Hadji etc or wht ever celebrations ppl doing in this world, they do them cz they hv beliefs ... cz we hv beliefs ... we dnt knw exactly this is true or false bt we do hv beliefs this is like this and that ... why cz our parents do believe them, well educated professors says it ,our religion leaders says it etc or in any manner we do ... bt we hvnt seen these things are really true or false cz we dnt hv proof ... do those people who made us to believe this hv seen ny proof for these things? according to my knwledge "No" (may be im wrong,if so pls do correct me) so this is also another belief of our life tym ... nyone can this is ours ny urs ... bt can nyone proove it? i dnt think so ... bt jst think smething like this if there is a family Husband is a Christian and Wife is Buddhist bt they do celebrate Sinhala New Year and Christmas Both ... they do go to temple and also they are going to church ... why do they do like that? cz both of them believe both religions ... otherwise husband can wait a side while his wife celebrate sinhala new year and same apply to the wife ... so wht will happen to their children? ... nothing matters until we stop belief this whould be like this or that ... i think nyone can celebrate this ... jst think we do celebrate January 1st as New Year and we do same in April 14th? ny diff? if we really think April 14th is the real sinhala New year and our year starts from April 14th and its end on next yr april 13th so why do we celebrate it 1st of January and why do we celebrate 31st December night? (bt afaik according to astrology they do believe sinhala new yr starts from 14th april nt in 1st of January)
there are so many ppl who celebrate sinhala new yr,deepawali,christmas all and they all so go to kovila,temple and church ... cz why? they do belive all these three religions and they only get the good from those religions ... cz if we look deep in to all religions every religion says same thing in diff ways ...:yes:

*if im wrong pls do correct me nyone ... really appriciate it and sorry for my bad english

I belive new year is for sinhala and tamil both people who's origin is Sri Lanka.

Well to my opinion, Traditional Sinhala and Hindu new year as we call it, celebrated by people from the both communities. No one can deny the fact of the Hindu influence to our culture through out the history. Our new Year is based mainly on auspicious times set by astrological calculations, which also came from India.


If you research further you can see Sri Lanka is not the only Country that celebrate this traditional New Year. The traditional new year of most of the Buddhist countries in south East Asia and some of the regions in India celebrate from April 13 -15.

Thailand called it Songkran, from Sanskrit sankrānti "astrological passage" is also celebrated in Laos (called pi mai lao), Cambodia (called Chaul Chnam Thmey, Cambodian New Year), Myanmar (called Thingyan), and by the Dai people in Yunnan, China. The same day is celebrated in South Asian calendars as well: the Assamese (called Rongali Bihu), Bengali (called Pohela Boishakh), Oriya People from Orissa(called Maha Visuba Sangkranti), Sinhala, Tamil, Malayali, Punjabi, new years fall on the same dates. They all are based on the astrological event of the sun beginning its northward journey.
If you trace back, you can see how the Hindu influence has spread around the entire region before they become Buddhist countries.


So I don't agree to the fact as said above, this new Year is only belongs to the Sinhalese People.

And what is Thai Pongal
This is a harvest festival - the Tamil equivalent of Thanksgiving. It is held to honor the Sun, for a bountiful harvest. Families gather to rejoice and share their joy and their harvests with others. The Sun is offered a "Pongal" of rice and milk.

Deepavali or Deewali- A colorful festival that is celebrated by all Hindus worldwide , which is also known as the festival of lights. This festival usually falls around late October and November. One important practice that the Hindus follow during the festival is to light oil lamps in their homes on Deepavali morning. By lighting the oil lamps, the Hindus are thanking the gods for the happiness, knowledge, peace and wealth that they have received. The Hindus consider Deepavali as one of the most important festivals to celebrate.

mucho local hindu's auspicous time regardin new yr is different from sinhala/buddhist's auspicous time.........dont knw how thats possible......

n i guess ppl used to celebrate this cos their cultivation proccess starts in april or so.......im nt sure abt it (anyway ancient chinese n european pagans used to celebrate similar festivals based on sun and cultivation so i guess celebrating new yr in april is something similar)
