Great loss to the Country and for the people who fight for democracy and justice. May he attain the supreme bliss of nibbana.

This is a huge loss to our beloved country. It was through his foresight and guidance that our country could change its course towards "Yahapalanaya" which is upto the present leaders to continue properly. If some say that the war was won by MR then "Yahapalanaya" was won by this Very Venerable Thero. He did not contest but guided and no one says thathe won the war against a dictator. Similaarly, MR guided and he did not fight but guided and the armed forces fought. May he Rest in Peace.
Cheers Sunday, 08 November 2015 03:19 PM
The curse of removing the dictator would have hurried him to this fate.

Who was responsible for taking Ven Sobitha to Singapore for Treatment?. Ven Sobitha was a nationalist and always upheld the people of Sri Lanka and the Professionals of Sri Lanka. He knew very well that Sri Lankan Doctors and medical staff at government Hospitals could have given him the best of treatment anywhere in the world.

David De Silva Sunday, 08 November 2015 06:10 PM
You opened the eyes of the rational community of Sri Lanka. You were rewarded with the victory of January 8th with right thinking people backing you to lead Sri Lanka to a new era. Sadly the leadership of our nation have failed to take on your guidance to restore justice and eradicate rampant corruption. Your effort was not in vain as you have instilled into the thinking mind that change is always possible if a few good people gather together.Your memory will always live on in the hearts of every community in Sri Lanka. The very utterance of your beloved name must become a beacon of hope to every oppressed person in Sri Lanka who still cry out for justice in their motherland. You were a true faithful son of the soil who has brought pride to mother Lanka.

What a sad news? Great loss to the country at this crucial juncture.

Ziqufi Ismail Sunday, 08 November 2015 04:59 PM
The legend of the voiceless.The Father for all Communities irrespective of Race, class or Religion.The Torchbearer for the so called minorities in a land we live of our own heritage. The Most Reverent who stood the tides of the Extreme groups within his own clergy. The savior of the Nation. The voice of the children of Mother Lanka .The most humble and Revered Monk who stood the tied of waves of the ruthless rule of the last regime, is no more in the land of the living .We pray that he be blessed the best of stations where ever the Humble Reverent be, and May his soul rest in peace in the most harmonious, joyful, contended manner, and may his memory linger in a History written in gold in Mother Lanka till we all depart from this world.

It is an irreparable loss not only to the entire Sri lanka but also to the minority communities in our country. If you had not come forward boldly ,there would not have been a regime change on 8th JAN certainly. You too have gone to Heaven on 8th after the mission . We wish you be reborn in Srilanka with the same courage and bravery

The government leaders should at least now try to implement the necessary changes to the constitution(totally abolishing the EP) and prosecute the wrongdoers without protecting them, the main wishes of Sobhitha Thera , instead of conducting the Thera’s funeral with full State honors.
