That may be why your colleague misrepresented her husband to counsel a couple and advise the woman to divorce. God is a Spirit . He does not have a special place to women or anyone “God is not a respecter or persons “. But God will judge your ministries

This bastard Benjamin Devadason is a crooked preacher who used to mistreat his wife and now after her death he cries to show he was good. Because of that hate, he is giving advice to other woman how to run their family without spouse’s knowledge which is SATANIC. Rascal!

amen

So caring . Must be why promoting husband to be a pastor and destroy young families with small children and making them divorce

Beautiful song and meaningful lyrics Senaya. Bless you! 🩷

Lord Jesus heal our beautiful land.

Its a lovely hymn. Sri Lanka was a Paradise which was ruined by corrupt politicians. Let us try to restore it to its former glory. 🙏

Thank you for this! God bless you and your ministry. I was meditating on Ezekiel, 22:23-30. It's the rhema I was given yesterday by the Holy Spirit. We need more of us to do this.

This is awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥

To God be the Glory for the things he had done for me :for things Not Done;and the things his has planned for me;for his timing is prefect in each n every way." I LOVE YOU LORD FOR YOUR MERCY NEVER FAILS ME."

Hymn for Ceylon " The next to consider in this historical piece is the Christian Hymn, “Hymn for Ceylon”. This was written in 1923 by the Rev. Walter Stanley Senior. The notion that Danno Budunge was influenced by Hymn for Ceylon is clearly false as DB was composed long before Hymn for Ceylon. It is, in fact, the converse; Hymn for Ceylon borrowed the melody from DB. Rev. Senior came to SL in 1906. By that time Sirisangabo nurtiya had been shown in Ceylon for at least 3 years. WSS wrote the Hymn for Ceylon at a much later stage. Devar Surya Sena composed music for this song in the 1950s using the Danno Budunge melody, slightly modified to suit Church singing. Reverend Walter Stanley Senior. (10 May 1876 - 23 February 1938) He was an English scholar, poet and member of the Church Missionary Society and was popularly known as the "Bard of Lanka. Reverend Senior came out to Ceylon in 1906 and served as Vice Principal of Trinity College Kandy from (1906-1916). When the then Principal of Trinity, Rev. A. G. Fraser, was looking for talent in the English Universities to come and serve at Trinity College, he came across Senior who belonged to a set of brilliant men, including the late Dr Kenneth Saunders from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, N. P. Campbell, also a Balliol man recognised as a great scientist, and J. P. R. Gibson, later Principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge. In the absence of Rev Fraser, Senior also deputised as Acting Principal for a short period. He retired to England, and one of his greatest desires, namely, to see Ceylon and some of his numerous friends before his death, was gratified when he was able to spend a short holiday in the Island two years before his death, already a very sick man who knew that the end was not far off. A few months before his death, he said: “The idea has come to me that I should like my ashes, for I contemplate cremation rather than burial, to be interred in St. Andrew’s Churchyard, Haputale.” His gravestone at St Andrew's is a testament to his life, bearing the plain legend “He Loved Ceylon” preceded by the opening lines from his poem, Lanka from Piduruthalagala: Here I stand in spirit, as in body once I stood Long years ago, in love with all the land, this peerless land of beauty's plenitude. The pulpit of the Trinity College Chapel is dedicated to his name. A common vein in many of his finest pieces is an appreciation of the diversity and beauty that is Sri Lanka. Rev Senior also has the distinction of being the author of the famous Hymn for Ceylon as well as the Hymn of Trinity College, Kandy and that of St. John's College, Jaffna. His best-known work, however, is the soul-stirring epic titled The Call of Lanka, which many consider to be arguably the finest poem dealing with Sri Lanka ever written. The tune of the Hymn for Ceylon is another adaptation from the DB tune composed by John de Silva. The music for the Hymn for Ceylon was composed in 1950 by Devar Surya Sena. The tune is the same as that of the original tune of Danno Budunge except for the 5th and 6th lines which were altered by Devar Surya Sena. When it is sung in full harmony, it sounds wonderful. According to Devar Surya Sena, Walter Senior gave him the words of his ‘Hymn for Ceylon’ (O father thou has promised the isles shall wait for thee), and suggested, “Someday you’re going to write a tune for this Bertie.” Later, “on my return from England…In a flash the thought came that the much loved melody of ‘Danno Budunge’, adapted slightly, would fit the metre…I…married the words to the tune, harmonising the melody in four parts”. Mahendra (Speedy) Gonsalkorale. January 2019

The popular song 'Danno Budunge Sri Dharmaskanda' is a Buddhism themed rendition drawn from the play 'Siri Sangabo' produced by the celebrated Sinhalese playwright John de Silva in 1903. He crafted the lyrics and the melody was composed by an Indian musician from Bombay named, Visvanath Laugee. Maestro W.D. Amaradeva has also reiterated it some time back in a radio panel discussion on "Parani Rasanga” or the popular songs of the past era. Musicians Victor Ratnayaka and Professor Sunil Ariyaratna have both said with vehemence that the original tune of the song was composed by Visvantha Laugee and the Christian hymn which has been extracted from the Danno Budunge tune was recorded by the Church some where in the 1950s. Professor Sunil Ariyaratne’s seminal research on the beginnings and development of Nadagam & Noorthi Gee in Sri Lanka has been published in a volume of several parts that deals with our old Sinhalese hit songs in 30s and 40s era, says critic Janaka Perera. Vishvanath Lauji, composed classic melodies for John de Silva's dramas namely Sirisangabo, Ramayana, Shakuntala, Sri Wikrama Rajasingha, and Ratnavali during the period between 1903 -1909. A considerable number of songs in his dramas are still popular among dramatists, musicians, and singers as well as the hoi polloi to-date, observes Janaka Perera.

Awesome! Pray that our beautiful Sri Lanka will move forward in trusting that Our God is alive!

Love this hymn composed by one the old principals of Trinity College Kandy
