We are clearly in an era of Twists and Turns, with Kali Amma projected as the power against the Covid-19 pandemic.
What happened at the Sri Maha Bodhi earlier this week showed a very clear Kali Kovil Twist. The kapuva who made this pandemic syrup wanted to offer it to the Sri Maha Bodhi. The monk who led his team to the site of the sacred and hugely worshipped tree, did not let him climb right up to it. He had to make the syrup offering at the lower level, with very good reason, no doubt.
When his turn came back at the temple, the kapuva or is he a kapu-raala, had his say to the Mahanayake Thera of the temple. He angrily wanted to know why he was not allowed to go right up to the Sri Maha Bodhi. He stressed the role of Kali in his syrup task, and even went on to talk of ‘Kali Ammage…’- when the media was cut out.

Be that as it may, coming to the question of shortage of power, resulting in seeking the support of the private sector suppliers, if I remember right, and subject to correction, was also sought by his predicessor, Ranjith Siyambalapitiya. I also remember, reading in newspapers, one time Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka, not renewing two private suppliers. He may have had his own reasons.

Man in Sri Lanka claimed that he has received a secret recipe from Goddess Khali of Hinduism for ‘Magic Syrup’ which can cure Covid-19 for a lifetime. The country is on the edge of its transformation from Republic to Syrupblic. This is the peak of the madness.

Myth satisfies the desires of ordinary human nature. Therefore, most of the time, science is being swallowed up by myths. The myth paves the way for hypocrites to gain economic advantages easily.
