Today is Generu holiday
100 years ago, Geneva was a new year. It is a festival for the eyes as well as for the eyes. The first day of January in the new year is a holiday for the country itself. Today is also the first day of January for the 100-year-old companies in Sri Lanka.... So today is the anniversary holiday for Lake House Institute...

The academic year of the so-called scholars - Mr. Nalin de Silva
A new year begins on the first of January for the whole world. What will it be like? A new year starts on different days in different countries. But they don't care. In the Theravada world, the New Year begins on April 13 and 14. When we were children, the year was said for the next year. We did not have a year on the first of January. We called it Generuwa. But as of today, the year begins on the first day of January. Buck Maha year has been made a Sinhala year. It has also happened in medicine. That day we went to the doctor to get medicine. When I went to buy a western medicine, I was told that I went to buy some English medicine. Today, English medicine is medicine. The other Sinhala has been cured.
Fifty years have not passed for this change to happen. Padinattan says that we apply western knowledge not because of its dominance but because it is correct. Because it is scientific. But we switched from the year of Buck to January because of what is wrong with it? Because there is a science to it? Buck mahe year is caused by the Sun moving from Pisces to Aries. Anyone can travel to the Sun only relative to another person. Where are the so-called absolute motions? The sun is stationary relative to the sun. I said that to the scholars who say that it is not the sun but the earth. The earth moves relative to the sun. Relatively speaking, I don't go. Relative to me is Surya.
Anyway, let's get to Geneva. There are various stories about Geneva. One is that the month of January itself is named after the god Janus. The first day of that month is dedicated to Janus. This is a Roman story. But I have a small problem. Today the world uses the Gregorian calendar. The Mayan calendar is more subtle than that, but the world does not use it. Who would think of using the Sinhala month system? Does the whole world use the Gregorian calendar because it is correct? Or because of science? Because of Western dominance?
Geneva followed the Julian calendar. Now this Gregorian calendar also has Generu. Is that generuva and this generuva both the same? I ask because there is a difference of about ten days between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. According to the Julian calendar, Newton, who is Apple Newton, was born on December 25, 1642. But according to the Gregorian calendar, January 1643. A few days have to be added to the days of Robert Knox if we want to say it in a way that suits today. According to Knox, the year was found in March twenties.
Let's say that the date difference was somehow fixed. There are other opinions about Generuva. According to the Gregorian calendar, the baby Jesus was born on December 25. The baby Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day after birth, which means on the first day of January. Some people say that the year starts on that day. Don't forget that Jesus was born as a Jew. Circumcision is a Western Asian custom. The story created from the dust (can be dust) will not be a story among the fire deer of Northern Europe except in that province. If that story was made up, it would be said that it was made from snow. The letter made of dust reminds me of Baloliye Baloliye.
There is another story among you. It is related to Mitra. Mitra said that Rohini will not be Mitra's soldier in the book. What actually gave Nandimitra that name? Nandi is because of cows? Or Mitra's kinship? However, Mitra in our story is a Vedic god. That god is also called Sun god. People do not have years without the sun. Mitra has gone from Vedic to Babylonia to Egypt and other countries and even to Rome. It means that each culture is absorbed by the friends in the way that suits them.
Without Mitra, the sun will not make its journey around the earth in one way. Payala from the east descends from the west and moves north and south. That is why the western seasons
Greeting background
Geneva should be the one we got from the Portuguese. A friend of mine used to say that January means January in Portuguese. Even so, from 1516 to about four hundred and fifty years, the common people of this country did not care about Generuvak. But yesterday foreign television and some other channels celebrated the victory of Janeruwa itself. It can be said that Atalgama was revived yesterday morning.
I sent a greeting to the Cardinal as best I could because we know he has generuwa. Today, the world is celebrating Generu. Foreign television showed us that with pictures. There is one thing that is clear from that, that is the Western Christian (not Catholic) modernity cultural dominance. So-called modernity is a complete Christian story. Martin Luther was one of its chief exponents. But modernity was born in Italy with the so-called Renaissance. Its background was privacy, sensual pleasure, etc.
Christian culture does not have the collectivity of the word Catholic. But the story that the world was created for man existed even then in the Bible tradition. In modernity it changed as the world was created for the white male in Western Europe. Pope
