In Shri Lanka, Lord Vishnu is considered the protector of Buddhism by local Buddhists. That's why they worship Lord Vishnu. ❤
Say this in Sri Lanka, monks will leave saffron and when they wear white even Vishnu won't survive.
Stop mixing us.
In Sri Lanka Vishnu is for Hindu worshipers not bhuddists.
Don't get it twisted my friend we are Mahayana bhuddist not Vajriyana to worship Hindu dieties.
We are different sect of bhuddism ultra Extreme one
Maybe you should do study further before commenting on us
@@user-qw8rf8ul9m lol.. Ask any local Buddhist, they would tell u the same. U can search this on Google or read in Wikipedia or read comments of Sri Lankan Buddhists in comments of any bhagwan Vishnu bhajan
@@Rohit-ij7mb the locals you talk about their monks comes from.centeal Sri Lanka Kandy and maha nuwara regions only.
Vishnoi worshipers are in hambantota region down south who does vashikaran magic and tantra Vidya.
In Sri Lanka Tantra, Mantra , Yantra done by vishnoi worshipers.
Now how can bhuddists claim to be bhuddist with these demonic forces.??
We are bhuddist my friend not vajirayana bhuddists of madyam Pradesh of India.
@@Rohit-ij7mb you trying hard to convince a Sri Lankan highest caste person that carrying Astra , Sashtra Vidya in his bloodline.
People with gotra system can't represent religious places.
People with Kul and warna system they are eligible to run for President and Armed forces and temples.
There is a social system in Sri Lanka as well.
A lower caste southern Sri Lankan can't talk about bhuddism and monks and include demonic forces.
That person will be linched in two minutes .
Take this garbage to India, majority bhuddists here 98% other 2% are mixed and they not allowed.
@@Rohit-ij7mb in Sri Lanka southerners are vishnoi worshipers, they aren't singhalese they are Sri Lankan citizens.
Difference being singhalese where Warna , kul based marriages takes place between us.
You include these idol worshipers and Muslims and Christians they marry among them selves.
They are not representing Sri Lanka they representing them selves.
Sri Lanka is world's only bhuddist nation.
We respect others beliefs but do not mix us with your Hinduism.
Either I can be respectful and teach you, or simply go two steps down then give with details it will hurt your sentiments.
You from India you got different belief.
I'm from Sri Lanka we bhuddists.
Hindus and Bhuddists don't get along.
Don't make a enemy of Sri Lankans.
Good for vishnoi people and these devi devta worshipers , but they wouldn't dare to say a Vishnu can protect our bhuddism 😂.
Last time the Tamils said something like this in Jaffna 1983 and within 24 hours 3 lakh Hindus slayed.
We might be chilled but when it comes to our dharma and our sanghis and our bhudda then we will eat you as well just as we consumed the dutch
It doesn't matter if Ravan is from Lanka, it doesn't make Sri Lankan people bad. Other Indian historical antagonists, like Kansa, Hiranyakashipu, Narakasur, etc are from present day Bharat and it doesn't make us bad people.
Ravana is actually from India
As a Sri Lankan, I am happy that a story of enmity between ancient two kings, "Rama and Ravana" led into the significance of the connection between Sri Lankan and Indian people and it enhanced the bond. As a Sinhalese Buddhist we also worship lord Vishnu, Sarasvati etc. So Jai Shri Ram! and Namo Buddhaya to all the Indian brothers!
Love from🇮🇳❤❤❤
And that self claimed Mahaguru from Drishti IAS tells that, nobody knows Ramayana in Sri Lanka.. 😂😂
Hahaa, he has more subjective knowledge and less prectical knowledge.
In that I admire Ojha sir because atleast he is not knowledgeable than him but always respects Sanatan Dharma unlike Self Proclaimed Guru who is discipline of Param Guru- Chacha Nehru.
@@JohnPaul-yu9dy who are you all talking about?
@@kushaltiwari3668 what Brother?
😂😂 why should one comment on a thing which he / she doesnt have knowledge about it?
I don't know who this is but he's right---Milinda Moragoda (the diplomat here) may have some personal affinity to the Ramayanaya but we were never taught about Ramayanaya in school nor do hindus in Sri Lanka give it so much importance. We got to know about it from TV shows and all.
Ravana was not from Lanka. He snatched Lanka from Kubera. Ravana was born in a village - "Bisarakh" near Noida UP.
Yup actually it's in Greater Noida. I'm from Greater noida as well. In fact even dussehra is not celebrated in this village.
@@gaganvarshney3287 yes. I know.
My fathers father was a pujari but my father was a bhuddist.
Our kul devta is Lord kuber. Lord of wealth.😂
@@user-qw8rf8ul9m isme hasne ki kya baat hai.. tumhare pita ji ne budhhist mein covert ho gye
@@Rohit-ij7mb speak English .
Son, my grandfather a tantric pujari, not your ram mandhir crap.
A pujari who served lo d kuber and had wealth unlimited .
But after his death as no one made this kul devta happy he stopped giving money.
No conversion in bhuddism son.
Tantra Vidya pujari is diferent where you worship a myth is different.
My grandfather was a man who would get a dream and go dig earth and find gold.
Just like that.
It was against ethics of conducts of bhuddism, it's just he was untouchable in a era where monks were restricted by governments.
Now a days blow a coconut and sit front of maha bodhi sanghis court and explain.
Learn difference , maybe you should study Sanskrit to understand meaning of tantra Vidya , tantra mantra Yantra comes under shastra teachings, they cosmic and astrogeology joyishya plus vashikaran and sadhna involves.
Not your hare Krishna and smoke ganja and have group orgies.
My grandfather had lord kuber visiting him as a parrot.
The day he left earth the same parrot flew off with his soul.
These are out of your day to day Bollywood masala crap you watching.
What do you Bollywood drama people know about sadhna and sastra and mantra stuff.
Stick to IPl betrr
India is our big brother. Always respect and keep Buddhism and Hinduism safe and strong cause we all having tough times. Namo Buddhaya and Jaya Sri Ram !!!! Mean it 🇱🇰🇮🇳☸️🕉️❤
Yes bro in Hindu people have Lord Budha statue in temples and I himself saw Lord Ganesh,Lord Shiva And Lord Vishnu in Bhudhist temples
@@Rayas_killer Mainly Lord VIshnu , you will RARELY or NEVER see Lord Shiva in Sinhala Buddhist temple. But you will see Lord Vishnu in ALMOST EVERY SINHALA BUDDHIST TEMPLE. This is because Lord Vishnu is considered a PROTECTOR of Sinhalese Buddhists, while Lord Shiva is not. Ganesha is also present in some Sinhala Buddhist temples. But it is Vishnu who is in every Lankan Buddhist temple.
No one learn Ramayana in SL schools it's just a story to us Srilankans. Here Ravana is more popular because various TV shows and Music videos.
Same in india buddy. Home study and depends on family we belong. I read it when i was 25.
@@akp3097ramayana is learnt in home not in schools lol
Sanghamitra and Mahindra were daughter and son respectively of Emperor Ashok.
I don't think this person has a good knowledge on this particular subject.
6:33
a little correction, sanghamitra was the daughter of KING ASHOKA not BUDHA
Exactly what I wanted to comment but checked if anyone has already made the comment.
Gautam Buddha just had one son, Rahul.
Yes
Emperor* Ashoka but yes you are correct.
@@uthsara ashok .
Rahul is son of Siddhartha not Gautham Buddha. In sri lanka we says sons and daughters of Buddha shasana is what you guys have miss understood. Praying to have a matured mind to see the transparent picture and believe y'all come out from 2D vision. Love you brothers and sisters. May attend to Niravana 🙏
Most of the Sri Lankans do not hold any opinion about the Ramayana. Many are devotees of Vishnu, but can’t see that much of a devotion towards Rama. Apart from that Shaivanism is more popular than Vaishnavism here in LK. If we rank deities by mere popularity in LK, it’s something like Karthikeya, Ganesh, Shiva, Sarasvati, Vishnu and Laxmi. So avatars of Vishnu and Laxmi are not that popular.
Not only in Lanka, here in India as well majority are Vishnu devotees. That's obvious because he is the ultimate rupaa of all the incarnations but also lord Venkateswara/Balaji coz he is the kaliyuga avataara.
Rama is uplifted around the world more as a role model than God.❤❤❤
lankans see rama as a c0ward who got help from thousands to defeat one king ,lol ,all other hindu gods are gooooood to them haha
@@skipper2594people who think Sri Rama as coward are fools. Rama is the most courageous and honest man in the world. He is the ultimate representation of truth 🙏🏻🚩

Half of the video you get to hear "bbbaaaaa... dddeeeeeebee.." 😂
We do not know much about Ramayana. The first king of our country was Vijaya and not Ravana. He cannot be accepted as a king of our country without any evidence. One can tell stories to people. They are stories and not the reality of this earth. In school, we study from King Vijaya of Sri Lanka to the present and Ashoka's period in India (important parts for Buddhists). Sangamitta was the daughter of King Ashoka.
Ram Ram Sita Ram ❤Jai Jai Hanuman
3rd to comment nice diverse topic content creator ranveer kudos
May be you should ask someone who has researched well about srilanka version of ramayana and indian ramayana
Excellent discussion
Not many know this but Sinhalese fought for kauravas in Mahabharatha. I only find out recently accidentally when searching something. Very old people..
who are kauravas ?
@@skipper2594 Kaurava is a Sanskrit term which refers to descendants of Kuru, a legendary king of India who is the ancestor of many of the characters of the epic Mahabharata.
Not all Sinhalese fought for kauravas. There is people in Sri Lanka the second largest Sinhalese caste called the karave, they trace their ancestry to the kauravas of India belonging to the kuru kingdom, its the Mahabharata story.
Google karave people of Sri Lanka
Yeah guess you r right.. There has been many cases of Sinhalese involvement in the kingdoms of India.. During the Pandyan civil war, King Parakrama of Pandya kindgom requested the assistance of King Parakrama of Lanka against the invasion by Cholas into the Pandya kingdom. As a result Sinhalese navy made an amphibious assault into Rameswaram and came all the way to Pandya kingdom to rescue their king. After killing the Chola invader the story says that Lanka Putra, the general of the Lankan batallion ruled that part for many years before handing it over to the heir of the Pandyan king. Such is the connection.
I am a Sinhalese Buddhist, and UTHPAL-VARNA DEVA (Vishnu) is a protector deity of Buddhism and widely recognized as protector of Sinhalese. According to the story of Ramayana Rama may have defeated Raavan, but we Sinhalese are the ones that COMPLETELY DESTROYED and ENDED the Raakshasa/Yaksha rule and power base of the sons of Raavan and created the present day civilization of Sinhalei (now known as Sri-Lanka). Unlike Ramayana this is HISTORICALLY CONFIRMED FACT. (I am not saying that Ramayana is false, but it is historically unverified to this day and it most likely an Epic). All the Buddhist mega structures and giant stupas across the Island were built by us after we defeated the Rakshas and took control. We also have a strong genetic blood connection with the Vangan and Shaakyan (Gauthama Buddha's tribe) Kshathriya tribes. Also when the Maurya dynasty empire in mainland India was lost later the remaining Maurya elite became Sinhalese and created the 'Moriya' Sinhalese dynasty. The last ruling Mauryas were not in mainland India after the fall of the Maurya empire. They became part of the Sinhalese. Also much later many Bengali and Oriya Kshathriyas migrated to the Island and also became normal Sinhalese after they fled continous Muslim invasions which mass murdered Buddhists and destroyed Buddhism in the North-East of India. Sinhala language is also an Indo-Aryan language and closer to North-East Indian languages as evident by the Mahavansha (Sinhalese history record) too. Some of us came back to India to the Kerala/Karnataka region and even had a dynasty called Mannanar dynasty kingdom in Kerala. The Sinhalese that came to Kerala became known as Thiyyars (coming from the DEVA tribe of Sinhalese) and Ezhavas (coming from the name Hela which is another name for Singh-Hala). Thiyyars and Ezhavas exist in Kerala to this day. Thiyyars and Ezhavas were known to be Buddhist and still hold a couple of Buddhist traditions among them even after they became Hindu due to Shankaracharyas efforts.
Being an Odia I never heard of it . Thanks
It's really interesting to know this ,could you please share me the source where this information is mentioned.
Mauryans are still present. Though they went through bad days during British rule
Sri Vijaya migrated to Sri Lanka from India with his followers and started Sinhalese history…. So Ramayana is much older than this…. I don’t think the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka are the same who live there now…. No matter of Sri Lanka is the real Lanka or not
Have to agree in a lot of what you stated
There can be more stories written by various authors. However, as a Lankan, I deeply value knowing the truth, even if it may be painful for us to hear. Regardless of what happened in the past, Ravana is still considered a great king, an exceptional leader, and an outstanding individual for us.
He was a great king no dought but the power corrupted him..
@@sohanjadhav007the fundamental teaching of Buddha is impermanence. Even a good man can eventually be corrupted..
Sinhalese are from Eastern India
@@Heretic-007 Yeah coastal Northern Odisha/western bengal region. This region used to be a major naval power once upon ago.
@@supremegodemperordonaldtru3563I don't get what you mean?
To be honest , We being Sri lankans , we don't care about Rawana. We know that Ramayana is a very exaggerated book. We know that Indians still burn idols of Ravana and SL to pay their disrespect. But we don't care. The majority of Sri Lankans just don't believe in rawana , as we don't have any archeological evidence to prove his existence in SL. There are only a few who love and believe Rawana. But the majority doesn't'.Generally we believe that Ravana is a great king with extra ordinary power , in Kashyapa Buddha's time , the buddha before Gautham Buddha.
What about Ram Setu? Christians took it and call it Adams bridge 😂😂😂
Rawana btw is a symbol of non-virtuous such as ego, aggression etc. As far as archaeological evidences go, I don’t think you have done enough research. Because, Ram nagri aka Ayodhya along with 100s of other archaeological proves exist.
Quite true , their no any archeological evidence about ravana or the ramayan , its just a fairy tale story written by walmuki , may be he is from india , i confirm he is not from sri lanak
According to Sri Lankan history, the story goes like this,
During the reign of King Ravana of Sri Lanka, his wife became pregnant. According to Pulasti Srishivara, it was said that if a child is born before 12 midnight, that child will strengthen the kingdom of Ceylon, and if a child is born after 12 midnight, it will destroy the kingdom of Ceylon. On that day, the wife gave birth to twins. The male child born before 12 o'clock was named Meghnada. King Ravana and the wife secretly said that there would be danger from the people of kinndom of Cylone and for the good of the kingdom of Ceylon after 12 o'clock. The born princess was set adrift in the sea after strict protection. After that she grew up in India. Ravana goes to India because of the problem with Rama becouse Rama fight with King Rawana's sister to get control of that area. When he saw Princess Sita, Ravana recognized his daughter from her childhood physical features by looking only her face. After the understanding of her past. pricess Sitha wanted to see her mother. She came kingdom of cylone to see her mother with her father. Even though Rama came looking for him coldly and came to battle with Ravana, King Ravana was patient until his son-in-law's misunderstanding was removed. But Prince Meghanad fought with Rama. Even though Rama died in that battle, King Ravana restored him with the power of medicine in kingdom of Cylone. King Ravana warned his son to prevent another fight with the Prince Rama. Prince Meghanada who was performing a pooja without weapons is killed. Even when King Ravana arrives there, King Ravana is unable to revive Prince Meghanada because it has been a long time since he died. After this incident, King Ravana becomes very weak mentally. The king became more and more depressed because of the story told by Pulasti Srishivara about the birth of the child. It was only after that that he realized the seriousness of bringing Princess Sita to Sri Lanka to visit her mother. Because Prince Meghanada is a much more powerful person than King Ravana. In the end, the kingdom of Sri Lanka lost a strong defender. After seeing the destruction that Prince Rama was doing to Sri Lanka like a frenzy, the kings of Ravana finally fought with Prince Rama. In that battle, King Ravana fell into a deep sleep due to a poisoned arrow sent by Prince Rama. But Prince Rama could not kill King Ravana. The demons in Cylone drove Rama and the group to India
Ravana is a very learned person it is mentioned so in all our Puranas in Bharat He is also know as one of the greatest devotees of Lord Shiva.
Lanka got librated after Ramayana. Ravan was not their king, he ruled Lanka. He was their ruler like the Britishers or Mughals.
I am stunned that people argue about mythology😂 how are you going to prove a thing that happened minimum 8.6 lac years ago😂.
We are not taught about Ramayanaya... I don't remember ever studying about Ramayanaya in school. Saw it on TV in shows and stuff. Never studied it. What is he talking about???
Ravan is from India only...he is not srilankan....he will conquer srilanka which was ruled by his brother kubera
Exactly. Ravana was from a village called Bisarakh near Noida. He was son of Rishi Vishrava and demon queen Kaikasi.
Kuber bhai not kubera
@@pakchikpakrajababu3206 Hindi is 'Kuber' samskrutam is Kubera
06:30 Sanghmitra was daughter of Ashoka who sent her to spread buddhism not the daughter of Buddha.. He only had a son named Rahul...
6:29 Isn't Sanghamitra the daughter of Ashoka who along with Mahindra (Also son of king Ashoka) brought Buddhism to Sri lanka?! Did he say she is the daughter of Buddha?!
He never answered...........
Because we don't believe in it
As simple as that
No one really cares much about Ravana in Sri Lanka and it became popular in recent times. He's just saying all these to make you not feel bad. For Sri Lankans it's just a story written by someone. It's not thought in Schools at all. What we learn in Schools are the Jathaka Tales. For Sri Lankans the India we know or learn is no longer exist. It's the ancient India, not the present revisionist version most of the Indians familiar with. You guys let your ancient greatness to some stories. Bit sad about that.
Note : We don't study ramayana in school.😅
Finally i understood indian people living in the so much past
Lord Ravana was the ultimate true Brahmin, to whom Lord Siva had granted every boon ever given to man. Finally when he was vanquished by a non-Brahmin like Ram, Ram did prayashchit/ penance for having killed a Brahmin King. These temples still have worship daily in Sri Lanka
how much noble ravana may be, but kidnapping a other person wife does not make him a good person
@@PavanKumarA7080 Ever heard Janeki could be ravanas daughter too

I can understand where the honourable diplomat is coming from but in my view if there are disputes regarding certain characters of Ramayana, then the original interpretation i.e., the Vamiki Version, should prevail.
Off course, people are entitled to believe in their versions but the Vamiki version remains the most authentic.
Sri Lankans consider ramayana as a fictional story, nothing more. In Sri Lanka of course there are different versions of this fictional story. In one version, Sita is a princess from Sri Lanka and a long-lost sister of Ravana. In that version, Lakshmana was portrayed as a pervert who tried to molest Surpanaka.
* long lost daughter not sister
One mistake Sanghamitra is daughter of Emperor Ashoka and not Buddha
Sir , you should feel proud about Vibhishana not Ravana. Even the purpose of Ravana avatar to show the peaks of evil .You should not forgot the roots . otherwise even Ravana will hate you all. He completed his three avatars Hiranyaksha, Ravana and Shishupala and went back to Vishnu loka as Vijaya Vishnu's Dvarapala. this is where many are ignorant .
We not proud of no body.
All are Indians lankesh vibhishn megnath or mandodri they all came from India.
We are proud of king Parakram Bahu , King Vijay Singha , Illara and many more .
We proud of 10 maha yodhyas the 10 great warriors .
You can be proud of your people.
For us ravana and Prabhakaran all same
We Sri Lankans , we consider woman to be goddesses and we don't harm kidnap them. From ancient era's such as Puranic, itihasik,vedic , paramparik , sanskrutik which ever era we were we allways been spiritual and atheists or Adharmi or simply in Lippi basha NASTHIK.
Don't tell us , we existed when you existed. Parallel, don't suggest to us. We never been enslaved . No one tell us .
We are Sri Lankans, be a happy go lucky guy enjoy with us. The moment u cross to our faith our belief we will pick swords guns bombs and then you know what we do.
Be Indian to your people. When dealing with us , be Indian who's talking to a Sri Lankan. Don't be a relative we aren't.
Genetically historically morally ethically we are way opposite.
@@user-qw8rf8ul9m please read my comment properly. I echoed the same you are saying. There are Evil and hero's every region and all those regions will only celebrate Hero's always. because that what the kind of people of that region are generally. Lastly Ravana is not a Human being he is Asura. After Ravana's Death it is Vibhishana king of Lanka and he is immortal and stood for righteousness always.
Hi it should be Jaya , Vijaya is Kumbhakarn
@@TheYasasful that's correct. Vijaya is Kumbhakarn and Jaya is Ravana. thanks for correcting.
One thing brother. I believe that you guys didn't took what minister didn't said as we respect india and your culture so that he cannot offence people. Let me clearly explain what sri lankans knows and they believe.
In the day of meganath born pulasthi rishi is pretending that there identical twins are going to born when mandodarie is getting pregnant. And the day meganath borns there is another birth and pulasthi rishi is naming her as soheli and ravan has to exiled her with sadness in a golden boat to beach area near mithila kingdom with the letter to the king Janak. And that day there is celebration and being unable to announce as ravan's request. Then king Janak is saying that the princess who born for him from the pruthuwi (that means earth) and without proposing his daughter to prince Ram as the promise of his protection he is looking for a first prince to his first daughter who born from earth and her name is sita. This is what written in the inscription of paramuka ravana in namal pokuna temple. So always remember that there is two sides and when ravana see sita and brings back he had to hide and he hide in one of his most comfortable cave palace in ella area and we call it ravana guhawa and it still has beautiful garden and cave pool. Why he is hiding her and giving all the comfort as his daughter due to the rule of srilanka is that anyone can damage someone who had exiled from sri lanka due to issues of horoscope. This is father and daughters love and due to that when ravana is burning sita is running to her farther and trying to get close to him. But lord Ram is misunderstanding this hidden truth and he is telling to walk on fire to show sita's pathipooja. With these anxiety oneday sita(soheli) is going to the jungle with her kids.
Remember that no need to offensive. There is always two sides of story which is you cannot judge. And as Sri Lankans we believe Lord Ravan left his crown and went to yoga meditation with kundalini. Don't worry I know you guys believe he can be awake again. But from sri lankans perspective it is not happening as he already have leave everything that day for nirvana. What sri lankans believe and they strong as thinking of that 'Nothing is permanent' (sayalu dhe anithyaya) and 'we should leave oneday with leaving everything here' (siyalla heradha ya yuthuya). So 'Dushera' will happen many times and years in future india with hate and revenge. But sri lankans are expecting the 'Nirvana' without hating or expecting anyones revenge. We will look for Nirvana but the question is are you guys still want to live with a hate and negativity till you die? You guys can ask from your heart. We love all you guys and respect. Believe that you guys will see the truth and finds nirvana to leave this all stubborn without being framed and crushed in to man made story. Blessings of Lord Shiva 🙏
As a Srilankan, most people in Srilanka today do not know much about Ramayana and do not have any special attachment to it like Indians do, because Srilanka is a Buddhist majority country, most Srilankan people are Buddhists, they're more interested in Buddhist philosophy, traditions and history, most people don't even believe in Ravana, they may respect Ravana as an influential and symbolic figure, but do not have any significant attachment to him.
Jai Siya Ram 🙏🏽
When Vibhishan was made King...He would have taught ppl good things about Ram and Hanuman. But this is kalyug..so obviously many things would have been lost. Also, when this Sri Lankan Diplomat talk abt Sita Mata..obviously Sita Mata was kidnapped and brought to lanka forcefully..so Sita Mata perspective of Lanka wud b interesting. So how will that help Lankans?
Sanghamiththa is not the daughter of Lord Buddha. She is the daughter of King Ashoka
Kya bola yeh banda? Kuch seedha seedha answer hi nahi diya
This giant city is really big.
Whatever the Purana legends are,
they're all in that area.
Isn't that funny?
Let's say that when it was
still a colony of Europe.
But what is the name of each state?
The host thought of getting some blunt answers and the video would be viral but the guest did lot of homework on what not to say😂
Bhai, Ravana was born in Bisrakh Jalalpur, Northern part of India, pls keep that in mind aswell while talking abt him.
Sanghmitra was not daughter of Buddha but of King Ashoka, maybe he wants to call Sanghamitra Buddha's daughter in sense how she brought n spread Buddhism in Lanka
You get a diplomat and expect straight answers? Hahahah
ravna is just a being in shrilanka, but it does not say anything about people of shrilanka , in india also there were many demens like mahishasura , kansa etc , idea is to take the góod of the ramas character
Arahath Sangamiththa thero in Buddhist culture came from India and the daughter of Empire Asoka. This has to be corrected.
Cannot really get a diplomat say controversial things
I don't know why some people won't accept that Ravana was a lusty and cruel demon and supports him even sri lanka wasn't Ramayan's Lanka sri lanka was simhala dweep Ravana's lanka was different somewhere around maldives
then why is it called Sri Lanka, why did they themselves rename from Ceylon (Colonizer name) to Sri Lanka...?
lanka is the name of the island which was written in anciant sri lankan books and shila lekana s
arabs, greeks , persions called it various names like,
thaprobane
serendib
ceylon
1972 lanka just add the SRI part to its ancient name , thats all@@bobchill5402
Ceylon isn't a coloniser name wtf Ceylon comes from Simhala>Sihela>Zeylan (Portuguese)>Ceylon(British). Its an Anglicisation of Sinhala. Literally. @@bobchill5402
Mahabharata literally refers to Sri Lanka as "Simhala"@@bobchill5402
ranveer asked about the version they have taught. why he is beating around the bush?
Always two sides to history. Indians cannot say our version is the true one and Sri Lanka a cannot say their version is true. Let all versions exist and let people take what wisdom they can from they version they connect with simple.
There are no two different narratives. Same story with many minor variations.
@@pritish3484 my Tamil friends disagree. They view Sita Ma as a crafty and conniving women who lured Ravan , thats not a minor difference. I don’t believe that to be true and respect Sita Ma, but also respect the right of my Tamil friends to view Sita Ma as a villain.
I would disagree. There are no two sides to rape, terrorism, etc. One may manufacture a complete lie out of thin air and then say there are two sides. The point is what is written in the original text.
In TN, many people believe in such non-sense due to lies peddled by separatist Dravidian ideology. Before this non-sense, people of TN were worshippers of Rama. Even today, many are. You will find many old Tamil movies talking of Sita and Rama in reverence. Many Tamil till today have names with Ram in them.
@@abhayagarwal2589 of course that’s the whole point. Each side feels their side is true and that they have enough evidence to support their side. Each side believes they are right, and each side believes as you said there no other side and what they say is true. That is the source of most conflicts in the world. Instead if we were mature enough than we would agree to disagree, end of story. I can believe my version, someone else can believe their version, end of story.
@@surnam6188 If someone says sun rises from the west and sets in the east, would you even consider that view. Many people will concoct things out of thin air which cannot be legitimised. There are some things which can be subjective but some things are plain objective facts as well.
Raavana is north indian.. hope tamil ppl who blindly believe dravida theory should question dmk, aiadmk leaders😂
Mr.aryan we don't believe blindly about ravana. Do you have any proofs. Only believing in myth. Go and drink cow urine. It will help you !!!
Ravana in south India is not bad as in north.
There are two poems and a thousand Rama kathas. The Lanka of the Ramayana was never Sri Lanka. According to Valmiki the Lanka was 1000 yogana away.
The story came to Sri Lanka with the people brought by the British to work in the plantations. To them Hanuman was their saviour from their tribulations.
Ramayana is not taught in schools. Sangamitta was not the daughter of the Buddha??????
1000 yojanas means 1300+ km or something Ram setu was build in rameshwaram,rameshwaram to anuradhapura (In srilanka)is 1300km many people say the battle was In anuradhapura SL holds many proof for Ramayan and they are Ravana ella,Sita ella,Hanuman footprint in Nuwara eliya,sita cave,Daanigala which people say used to be a Aircraft park in the earlier era some say its the vimana of ravana,Medicinal mountain hanuman brought from india which i cannot remember the name of ravana cave etc....
Why you dont ask about, king Ashok.... every time you want to know about ramayanaya, As sri lankan it a story... But King Ashok , great king for us.. there is respect to him.
Many Srilankans say ravana kidnapped sita because she was his daughter It is even mentioned in adhbuta ramayan by Valmiki
Yes i heard this. But he didn't take sita as his daughter. Before reading all the stufs.
You should know that Ravan was a parashad or sevak of Lord Hari and landed to Earth to perform leela with Hari (Ram). Whole ramayan is well planned.
@@shivamgoswami3628 Thats what i said there are many versions in the story most of us srilankans know abt sita being ravans daughter according to the legends thats why he never hurt sita, Sita was found in a paddy field and king janak adopted her no one knows who the real father is the legend goes that ravana got cursed and had to abandond his daughter ik that ravana was the guard or someone in lord vishnus loka and got cursed to be killed by lord vishnu
Ravan was biggest devoted to shiv… he sacrificed himself
he is tooo pro buddhist
When Sri Lanka talk about Buddism I feel funny 😂😂😂. Buddhas daughter came to Sri Lanka, Buddha came to Sri Lanka 😂 mind is small as the country
Sanghamitta was actually King Ashoka’s daughter, Not Buddha’s There are archeological evidence of her visit.. And Buddha visiting the island is pure hogwash, Theres absolute no evidence or realistically any possibility
He has no idea of what Maha Ravana is in Sri Lanka. The incidents in Ramayana has a seperate perspective from the Lankan end that is completely different from what Valmiki portrayed. Sita is considered the long lost daughter of Maha Ravana named ‘Soheli’ . She was the twin sister to Meghanatha. Lord Ravana is not dark as portrayed in Ramayana and similarly Rama is not as good as portrayed in Ramayana.
Ravana and Asuras are from modern day SYRIA. Ravan took Lanka as his kingdom
If there is no Ravan nobody knows about Rama & there is no Ramayana as well.. That's what we believe..
Bolo Siya var Shri Ram Chandra ki jai 🙏🌸🏹
In Tamil Nadu. Ravana is a Tamil king
lol
Ram said principals are always correct, people may not be always correct. If you understand so much, would be lot more helpful.
Vibhishan is also brilliant and just King and diplomat earlier.
What do Sri lankan people think about Rama Temle in Ayodhya?
nothing , we dont even know about that, obviously we ve heard it from some indian cartoons and movies which was dubbed and telecasted in lanka like luv and kush , blah blah blah
Nothing..
Nothing, that story is like a movie for us
Ram & Krishna Temples must be built in Sri Lanka & Bangladesh. Hinduissm must florish in Sri Lanka & Bangladesh, so Culture & Trade between India, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh will be same & unique.
Sri Lanka🇱🇰 already has Shiva temples & murugan temples.
Sri Lanka🇱🇰 already has Shiva temples & murugan temples.
Unfortunately Rama & Krishna are not popular figures in Sri Lanka as Lankans take them only as mythical Indian stories taught by recent Hindu scholars.But Buddhism was flourished here with the rise of Sinhalese civilization in the island.
no need of rama temples in lanka at all
Lanka wasn’t evil place. As an indian we are told that Ravan didn’t disrespect mata sita. So that’s shows respecting woman. Person respecting woman can’t be treated a evil itself. Vibhishan also shows quality of righteousness of people
Kidnapping a woman isn’t disrespecting? 😂 what do you smoke?!
@@craigslist1323There's a small catch. If someone does something to your sister, what would you do? Now, thinking of Ravana who was the greatest warrior, what would he do? I'm not saying Ravana did the right thing. But, Ramayana is more like a mirror to society. There's always those references that you can relate to day to day life.
@@craigslist1323 Do you think for a one women to destroy entire civilization including women and children is also very daharmic??. the karma of killing ravana empire is paid at mahabharatha . indians destroyed their entire civilization by a bloody war. even the you're people respected rama by opening a incompleted temple.
This man don't know anything the host is asking how we think about Rawana not his idea about Ramayana. The reality is Sri Lankans see Rawana as a genius who was good at everything who helped the country to be united as one, and some people think that Sita is a daughter of Rawana and after she had to come to Sri Lanka there was a misunderstanding about the incident and the countries clashed. Thats how many people think cause we don't see Rawana as a bad character. However if Rawan which Indians talk about is from India its not the one we are talking about cause. We don't talk about Ramayana. We talk about how King Rawana helped to save Sri Lanka. Thats all. But some mixed up religious men and women who are buddhist as well as hindu at the same time ( which means who are buddhist but they believe in gods too) spread the message about the Ramayana so people know about Ramayana. And thats it.
This question has to be asked from a Historian. Although even they would have different views due to different versions of mythical interpretations.
They took off all Hindu temples from Tamils and destroyed it. Lord Buddha didn’t visit Sri Lanka. He didn’t even come to Sri Lanka.
Honestly, no clear answer. It needs a better discussion as the topic is very good topic.
sanganithra was not a daughter of Budhha..daughter of Ashoka you...😅
Sri Lankans don’t interest about Ramayan 😂 it’s just a book we think 😂
The birth place of Ravan was actually Andhralay. It is current day Australia, which still is one of the oldest continent on planet Earth. BUT during that era, Australia was way closer and connected to Jambudweep (India).
Was there Sarayu River near Andhralaya...?
Its ok , we too respect ravana except abduction of sitha.we in india except discussion and debate but not insult.
Extremist hindus would get pissed and say that, "Ramayana is only one."
LOL! Bro is projecting
Wtf..hindu extremism is term that is becoming common now..but we we never really attacked other religions...give me a single proof where we coerced others to convert to Hinduism or killed others in the name of Hinduism.. there are many evidences throughout history that people of other religions created lots of attrocities in the name of their religions
There is no extremism in Hindus
Lol
There are different versions in Bharat also
@@Rohit24Kumarthere is , now becoming more
Dear Sri-lankan don't believe in the so called book called "Ramayana"
Kala ambo at odia kalinga
Blah blah blah He is more interested in Tourism.
Ram and Ravana (demon) epic is only a fictional story book and those characters described are just depicted to show how powerful Hindu Gods were and how cruel Ravana and Srilankan people were. If Ravana(demon) existed in Sri Lanka then every Sri-lankan child would have known about him. This is a fake story and Srilankans were not demons.
Not the correct person to ask these historic event ...he has no know knowledge at all about history ..
Ramayan is not a fantasy. Its not open to your own personal interpretation. Ravan did have many good qualities but it does not mean he was the hero of Ramayan. And he does not have to been seen as the king of Lanka hence all Sri Lankan people need to worship him. Its naive to interpret it like this!
Which part made you sure about the fantasy part... agni pariksha or flying moneys or golden deer?
Lord Ravanan is a Tamil King
hahaha how ?
ravana was born in North In greater noida area and he snatched Lanka from His brother Kubera .
he wasnt tamil. he was aryan( by so called tamil fanatics) .
😂😂😂😂hahaha
LOL
lol ,overproud t0mils
This guys seems be lacking knowledge. Sangamitra was daughter of our great Ashoka.

Dhasaratha d king had four wives which teaches man that more than one wife can destroy a kingdom undoubtly.
Dhasaratha was badly wonded in d battle ground n Khaikheyi(his 3rd wife) ran to his rescue n saved Dhasaratha who promised her a wish.
Aging Dhasaratha wanted to install Rama his eldest son from all his four wives but Khaikheyi wanted Dhasaratha to fulfill his promise to d wish he granted n install Bharathan(her son) to d throne instead. Teaching d world not to openly promise anyone while being excited.
Despite crying n begging Khaikheyi not to do unjust, Dhasaratha thought d world that a man keeps his word. N Rama thought d world that a son never go against his father at whatever cost.
As Rama was exiled, Bharathan who refused at first to be installed to d thrown thought d world that d younger one obeys d elders n be installed despite his refusal.
Sita was nine when she thought d world that a woman must at all cost be with her wedded husband through thick n thin. N Sita left d luxury of d palace to join Rama to d forest.
Little Sita was abducted by Ravan who avenged his sister Soorpanaghai's nose cut by Laxman. Laxman was a Shiva Bhakt n he never touched Sita even once.
Rama as a young prince cld hv married any princess as he pleased but Rama thought d world that a man must give his life to save his wife at any time. This is d greatest teachings of One Woman Man n One Man Woman to mankind.
We do remember Moses bringing out d 10 Commandments which one of it saying "Thy should not sleep with thy neighbour's wife". This is what Ranayana thought d world on how to live in a civilised world.
My Two Cents on Ramayan.
Wassallam
Ramayana nahi Ramayan...Ravna nahi Ravan...

Hello Ladies and Gents, Now it make sense why Sri lankan Sinhalese love married women and married men
Their Ancestor is Rawana who kidnapped Married Sita. Don't get me wrong I agree there are some good sinhalese citizens who are very decent people. In the Final War in 2009 more than 100,000 innocent Tamil Women were Sexually Assaulted by Sri lankan sinhala Military leaders and sinhala government politicians who were and are still in power.
