Thank you Nethfm, Mr. Nuwan Liyanage and Prof. Raj Somadewa for presenting this very informative program. I have been listening to this every Monday evening from day one. I am also in the process of downloading all the RU-vid clips for later viewing. Prof. Raj Somadawa, you are a national treasure! Best wishes for the future.
This episode tells the historically untold tale of Ruwanvaly Maha Saya for the ordinary people. It’s so fascinating and newsworthy.- Maha Saya reflects not only the profound bondage with the Buddhism, by our great ruler King Dutugamunu, but also eloquent testimony of our historical engineering skills. We owe our sincere gratitude to Prof. Raj Samaveda and to the Nath FM for their invaluable patronage, on History program. Justin From Chilaw
I am stunned to hear that Mahavamsa does not have a Tamil Translation. Tamil is a state language and its the responsibility of the state to translate Mahavamsa to Tamil.
My questions are as follows the author of Mahawansa is he an Indian did he burnt the akta kata books is he the same bikku who protected Datusena during his childhood since there are many damaging stories regarding this monk and the credibility of Mahawansa, especially by the groups who say buddha was born in this island pls give us acomplet answer
Suggest to present a background photo or a symbolic one instead ur personal photos. Prof ok bur coordinator take the first glance. Today society KNOWLEDGE BASED.. TKS CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTION ONLY. 😢😢😢

It's documented that during excavations carried out in our ancient cities like Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa during colonial times (when H.C.P. Bell was the Head at Archaeological Dept.) many Moonstones, Stone Pillars etc, etc were sent (shipped) to UK by loads and loads of bullock carts ("Gel Ganan") through the Colombo port. I'm sure all these items were documented and at present are lying in the underground basements of museums like British Museum, History Museum in England. Though we don't have means to protect them in Sri Lanka, at least do we have a record of these items and can our archaeologist have access to study these items so we Sri Lankans (present and future) get some idea about them which will be important for a nation like us to get some kick start to our lagging self belief? It's no point to ask these items to be returned back to Sri Lanka (in the present context) because somebody will rob them for their own benefit. We know what happened to those swords and other invaluable items robbed from the Colombo Museum in the recent past and the stealing of the crown of King Vimaladharmasooriya (If I'm not wrong) from the Kandy Museum some long time back. Would like to get a comment from Dr. Raj Somadeva during his present discussion of Anuradhapura. Thanks. Ajith Jayasekera Sydney, Australia
