BALI AND THOVIL

BALI AND THOVIL

"SHANTHIKARMA"

"The men and women who love others, and have compassion and peace are "gentle - nobles", and they deserve to merit from God as "who loveth best", and deserve to have "Grace of God"".

"The men and women who grab themselves only for their own benefits, do not love others, and do not have compassion and peace, and do not help and care others are "untouchables", and they never deserve to receive attention, care and respect from gentle- noble humane'.

BALI AND THOVIL

Bali and Thovil has been practised as psychiatrical therapeutics treatment for mental disorders caused by normal conditions or occult powers, since 10th century B.C.

The therapeutically system is developed to restore the spiritual quality of patients by installing confidence of the art of thovil in the mind of patient through partly practicing charming of powerful manthrams and partly playing devil dances, until morning, that night of the function is the most remarkable event for the patient.  These functions are separately performed according the reason of such event performance.

At a "Thovbil"

At a 'Shanthikarma" by "Vedarala"

1.Bali:  Bali is completely a "Shanthikarma" for devil evils and devil transmitted patients.

2. Thovil: Thovil is another variety of 'Shanthikarma" for devil evils and devil transmitted             patients, but it involves partly"devil dancing" as a therapeutic part of the 'Shanthikarma."

    Both practises centered on the task of detaching the devil from the patient's body.

3. Dola Pideni: "Dola" means the paying homage to particular god by praying and sacrificing       food(meals, sweets and fruits), and "Pideni" means "yangs" of prayers by chanting songs, four     people dance chanting prayers with playing Udakki, unti morning. 'Gurunanse' and "             "Vedarala", as attending to the traditional bondage to the gods, to who they have                           affixed, at least once a year.

A DEVIL DANCER IN PRACTICE OF THOVIL

IN MOST CASES, BALI AND THOVIL PRACTICE AS TREATMENT TO  PSYCHICAL EFFECTS, AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DUE TO SOME SUPERNATURAL POWER, SPECIALLY, DEVIL OR "BHOOTHA" OR ANY OTHER OCCULT EFFECTS, ACCORDING TO THE CREEDS, BELIEFS AND EXPERIENCE..  NOTWITHSTANDING WITH WHETHER THE DECEASE IS CAUSED BY AND SUFFERING FROM PSYCHOPATH AFFECTION, OR CAUSED BY OCCULT INFLUENCE, THIS PRACTICE OF 'BALI AND THOVIL" GIVES POSITIVE RESULTS AS  SUCH PRACTISES COULD RESTORE SPIRIT AND SELF CONFIDENCE IN ANY PATIENT.
                                                                                                                                   "Gurunnanse" Chanting Manthra to Devil





IMPORTANCE OF THIS PRACTICE IN POLITICS

The 'Bali and Thovil practice has been used as tool to mitigate powers of rulers those who always tend to neglect the power of mass.  These rulers included, regional authorities, aristocrats, public representatives, and officialdome, according to ancient legends.  In ancient India, and in Sri Lanka, many incidences of such devil dances and thovil performance have been taken place.   My grandfather, on day in 1958, explained such a event performed in 1942, in a jungle village called 'Galewa', in Anuraddhapura District.  This event was against to then a regional communal leader, "Bulankulama Dissawa", as he had been appointed by the British Government in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) to assist the British District chief officer called "Government Agent".   My gandfather explained the Bali Thovil function was performed since evening to following day morning, and the function included partly devil dances and charming "manthrams" to give misfortune to Bulankulama Nilame" through devil evils/bad influences/mortal effects.
At this stage, it has been widely spoken, that the rural indigenous leaders appointed by the British Government as "dissawa' or "Korale", or  'Arachchila", to support British administration, at higher level, at middle level, and at village level, were not with people centric attitudes, and were not cooperative with the people.  The top level British Administrators were well aware of this situation.

THREE STAGES OF FRAUDULENT POWERS AND FRAUDS

In politics and administration of public affairs, specially function of the Government, there exist three stages in 'Executive Continuum".  No any fraudulent power or any fraud, misuse of public resources, destruction of nature for the benefit of businessmen, politicians or any other officer, without help of the personnel in these three stages.  Specially without fullest support of the state offices. 

             "Anamithirala"
      "Grunnanse" Treating to a Devil Affected Patient



Charming a 'yanthra" for a patient

THESE THREE STAGES ARE:

1. Executive: The President:  The President has no any means to practice criminal frauds without fullest support of his "Higher Rank State Officers" and the higher rank officers in the other important state sector officers in the key hands of the Government.

2. The Executive: the Cabinet of Ministers:
     Any Minister can practice fraud acts without support of the president and the support of other colleague Minister or Minister.  But any Minister has no any mean to practice fraud actions without the full support and companionship of the "State Officers" in his Ministry or in any Ministry, or in any Departments, or in any Corporation. (in this type of practice, the higher rank officer can keep official files under his custody, in his private drawers, and after two year time files can be destroyed).  The destruction of environment, i,e, deforestation, soil excavation, effects of severe erosion, effects cause to surface lifting and floating, are enforced and run through 'state officers' support.  Implementation of 1950, the Act for preservation of trees, such as Jack fruit, Del etc. is completely done by sole authority of "Regional Political Leaders" and the A.G.As.  I had done survey and investigation of this matter on the request of the Ministry, in 2006.).

3. EXECUTIVE: "STATE OFFICERS"
(I have categorized above as the Sri Lanka Constitution has elaborated the system of power devolution in hierarchy)

The State officers can have follow two options:

i. Contributing as companion with higher executive and practice frauds, or joining as partner with other set of officialdome and practice/execute actions;

ii. To practice individually, as a self-group.

I should express my objective of presenting this parameters.
I am attempting to educate i. Media, ii. Voice Cut planners, iii. Journalists, iv. Big Voice Making politicians, and v. the Public; that any fraud in public sector can not be executed/performed/acted without fullest support of 'state officers".   Media says, for an example, that "State officer" has done that fraud, because that minister has advised him to do so.   See, this is not a logical/true statement, if that officer has no acceptable proof to prove that.  No any state officer has legal excuse to escape from the wrong actions blaming to "Politicians".
According to Constitution of Sri Lanka, Chapter ix, explains the "Executive - State Officers",  there is no executive hand to follow up recurrent supervision of the State official functions".
It is better alter this system as:
Chapter ix: part I,  Executive- State Officers, and 
                     part II, Executive - Investigation and Advice

We don't have very strong follow up system, in Sri Lanka like in America.

In some times, Politicians vibrantly attempt to involve and struggle with state officers, but is not rational, the politicians and the public should help it to go hand to the legal - justice system, it is duty of justice system to take action in such criminals.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS

According to the Law, the heads of departments and Authorities need to submit annual reports, or reports surrender to the request of cabinet, or by ministers.  They have to prepare and submit  these reports to the Parliament. They are working for the Government, not for media or private sector, they are bound to submit reports to the Parliament, or to Minister, where applicable, but before such reports reach the parliament, it could had gone to the media.  Because, such reports go to parliament for necessary action and to find remedies to query. It is only a query, query means as it is a question to deal with, the report has no power to make judicial statement of punishment.  But, before it discussed in the parliament, the media and the Media reviewers has given allegations and morally affecting punishments to the in-charge politicians or to in-charge officialdom.  This phenomena is not good, the Hon, President and the Hon. prime Minister will understand the dangerous and unfair effects  of these types of practises.

May be more reputable state officer, may be Auditor General, may be a chairman or Director Boar members in Corporations, may be Head of any other Authority, all they are human beings, they can have inherent human errors, such as; wrath, anger, bad temper, jealousy, malicious attitudes,political bias, bias or against to some individuals, and so they can do some mistakes purposefully or unpurposefully.  If such persons has avoided such human errors, has done every thing on acceptable facts, we have to admire that.

In report preparation, on official, on policies, or scientific, it is the important factor, that the information should be gathered in a accepted scientific way, and should be careful to collect information and data through a reliable sources, and of the information and data collected to be reliable. Fore example, Price data and information collected through Internet should be rechecked and corrected, because many many international organizations publish unreliable time passed, and some times, misleading price data.  First, the Parliament should satisfied with the way that report has collected data, and its rational of presentation and reliability of data, the system of analysis, and systems of calculations, principles and rules adopted in that analysis, before it goes over media.  The Government should be keen of such actions and to put full-stop for such false analysis.

Since Independence, the conventional or traditional legacy of our politics is being "ignorance of such malaise, shortcomings and inefficiencies in the administration"

"Some people are selfish, never help and care to people who deserve to have helps and care, but hope and expect help and care from others, they never grace God, and never be with the "Grace of God"

Dialogue Between Ms. Maggiya and Mr. Maharala

Maggiya:  O oh; Maharale, isn’t it true, that leagues and gangs those who fired Lanka, demonstrated ‘harthal’, burned public properties, protested and made loud voice against to Provincial Council Bill in 1987, were in wrong stand against your draft bill of proposals for transferring powers to Central Parliament/Central Executive.

Maharala:  O ho; ye, Maggiyo;  Now we are in a season of turmoil.  All they opposed to my proposals;

                  Have you heard this poem?

                “Eat and Eat creates fond of tasty,

                Fond of tasty inspires with the eagerness,

                Eagerness intrigues with the affection,

                Affection misleads the direction of the right path”

Maggiya:  Is it correct?

Maharala: Can’t you see?, where were you?

Maggiya: Oh; Yeh.
