විද්යාත්මක තලයේ ඉහළටම පා තැබූ හෙළදිවේ හෙළයා
When the time that Gautama
Buddha came to this world, the technology and the space travelling in Lanka
were in their peaks. The Sages who lived those days had initiated this. From
the very ancient times, from generation to generation, they brought down this great
heap of knowledge with them until the time period of Gautama Buddha. This can
easily be observed at the Academy of Science in Vessagiriya. Since the views and opinions of Brahmins were highly praised in Lanka, the
pre-history and also the true history of Buddha Dhamma were disappeared.
Even in the time of
Gautama Buddha it had been practiced sixty two mythical ideologies. In that day too, they had acted as a
very powerful group who had worked as the great instructors attached to the
king and the central body of the administration of the kingdom. If that was how
these sixty two ideologies acted upon that day, today there are about thirty
eight of them. Even today, this force is aggressively powerful, acts through
the public and private media movements and attacks the Buddhist heritage in
Lanka.

Lanka is filled with
uncountable facts which can be used to prove the historical truth of the
ancient Buddhist philosophy. The universe, the origin of the universe, the
beings and the origin of the beings are scientifically explained in the
Buddhist philosophy. The result of the scientific development of the pre-Buddha
era in Lanka was nothing but the scientific wisdom of the teachings of the
Buddha. There are certain Dharmathas (1) which will be subjected only to the wisdom of the Buddha. As they cannot
be perceived by the ordinary people in the world they come under the subject
matters such as infinite, illimitable, different in nature and incalculable.
The signs such as ප + අ and අ + ප (2) which
are based on Buddha Dhamma are used to explain this analysis. This begins from “the dot” and stretches up to “අ (the Ayanna)”and it
depicts the origin of the universe.
The signs to be seen
in and around Vessagiriya reveal the beauty of the heap of
the scientific and technological knowledge of the Rawana dynasty in one certain period of
time. The historic value of this Academy of Science is priceless. There is a
reason for not identifying the real value of this place. And something about
this reason also should be mentioned.
Most of the scholars
in Lanka - laymen and the clergy - are fully influenced by the Hindu practices.
They are just a group who has restricted the
Buddhism only for their writings. Their history is something belongs to India.
Because of that, finding out the history of a place like Vessagiriya is not something pleased by them,
it is not their interest. They do not see any value in the letters, the creations,
the constructions and the technology discovered from there. This is because
their history is totally connected to India.
The recreations of King
Ashoka are well protected with parapet
walls, fences and gates. Are they acting in that manner to show their respect for
Buddha? Their love, their degree of respect for Buddha is well visible by
placing the Buddha at the “Ninth Place” by them. Even to this date it is the same. And that was how in the
past as well. Professor A L Basham explains that even King Ashoka
had showed a similar interest towards Buddha. But this Asoka who treated Buddha
in that manner is given a first place, a noble place here in Lanka. The ones
who act so are not worried over the significance of Vessagiriya or any such place.
They may not consider the greatness of the
Sages lived in Vessagiriya. Still it’s a great relief if they at least know that there had been Sages
in Lanka. Once, one ordinary Upasaka (3) mentioned that these people do not realize
the abilities of these great Sages and admire them. According to him they do
not have any noble characteristics of that nature in their lives as they are related
to the Jatila (4) families connected to the Indian history.
Today I feel that there is a great hidden truth in that statement. The right honorable, Prime Minister D.S.
Senanayaka (5) called Srimath Anagarika Dharmapala (6) “a crazy man of religions”. Today I feel that Prime
Minister D.S. Senanayaka addressed him so not for nothing and there is a
deep reality hidden in that statement. The right honorable, Prime Minister
D.S. Senanayaka showed his past memories of Maha Sammatha Dynasty to the world by building a great colony around
Senanayaka Samudra.(7)
It is very rare to
find people in Lanka who believe that Sages in Vessagiriya had travelled across the universe.
Sometimes they can be found in America. The stone carving found in Ranmasu
Uyana, The Star Gate, is a special technological methodology which contains information
related to the universe. Because of the facts highlighted earlier, our people
do not have any strength to protect and to conduct researches about it.
An explanation of the
methodology adopted by those Sages to travel across the universe is explained in
the following inscription.

| The inscription of sage called Parumaka Maha Harumasa - Vessagiriya |
This inscription was written by a Sage called “පරුමක මහ
හරුමස - Parumaka Maha Harumasa”. The sign below is for an analysis for the universe.

2 - Sinhala Alphabets.
3 - Upasaka is a male lay - Buddhist.
4 - A class of ascetics, so called on
account of their matted hair. They wear turbans. But, here it means the people
who consider anything of India as so great or in other words it means the
people who are biased to India and Indian culture.
5 - Don Stephen Senanayake (Sinhala: දොන් ස්ටීවන් සේනානායක; 20 October 1884 – 22 March 1952) was
an independence activist who served as the first Prime Minister of Ceylon (now
Sri Lanka) from 1947 to 1952.
6 - Agarika Dharmapala (Sinhala : අනගාරික ධර්මපාල) (17 September 1864 - 29 April 1933) was
a Ceylonese Buddhist revivalist and writer. He was one of the founding
contributors of Sinhalese Buddhist Nationalism and Buddhism.
7 - “The Gal Oya river is the main
source feeding the Gal Oya scheme, a government program that dammed this and
smaller rivers to create Senanayake Samudra—the largest tank (reservoir) in Sri
Lanka, at Bintenne. The project has opened up 100,000 acres (40,000 hectares)
of land to the cultivation of paddy, sugarcane, chilies, potatoes, and other
crops throughout the eastern coast.”
