Dr. Victor Rathnayake, born into our motherland, is truly a treasure and an invaluable pillar of our cultural heritage. His extraordinary talent has shaped our music in ways that cannot be overstated. I still remember hearing his voice during my childhood, a voice that never seems to age, bringing joy and a deep connection to our roots. Without Dr. Rathnayake's immense contributions, our musical landscape would be profoundly diminished. We must wholeheartedly commend him for being not just a versatile artist, but also a steadfast guardian of our cultural identity. His influence is felt in every note, and his legacy is one that we will continue to cherish for generations.
