What is the specialty of “HELA” Nation?

Ancient Sri Lankans were empowered with

What was the role of Traditional Sri Lankan Farmer?

The traditional farmer was a wisdom keeper. He was aware of the secrets of nature and the universe. Agriculture was the application of his wisdom, understanding his duty and responsibility for the nation. Ancient Sri Lankan farmers were highly respected by kings.

What is the current situation of farmers and their future?

Nowadays, farmers are in darkness and of pathetic survival. That is why WEERA GAMUNU EFFORT was introduced to bring light to traditional rice farmers for the betterment of their future. IT IS NOT profit oriented but it is also a BUSINESS. It is a great service to the health and wellbeing of humanity.

What is the dark side of modern day farming practices?

Many people have lost their precious health and also their lives because of poisonous food, poisoned by harmful AGRO-CHEMICALS, weedicides, pesticides, fungicides and the like.

Ignorance was misconception, based on wrong view. They misguided farmers to have only tomato plants in tomato cultivation considering all others as WEEDS. In paddy fields, out of paddy, all other precious herbs with rare and high Ayurvedic values were misevaluated as WEEDS and destroyed. Healthy plants which naturally grow on paddy fields; Mukunuwanna, Gotukola, Monarakudumbiya, Welpenela, Iguru, Kaha, Kaladuru all were mis-considered as weeds and thus destroyed our biodiversity, and the fertility of my motherland.

OUR Message for the Nation & World

Let’s have a look at the view of Dr. Abeywickrama
‘’I was taught by my great teacher, the late wisdom keeper, Master Ariesen Ahubudu,
to love my motherland like I love my own mother. ‘’How can I accept the application of poisonous harmful agro-chemicals on my motherland?
I cannot! Do you?
So started the spring of WEERA GAMUNU EFFORT, human loving, nature friendly (beyond) organic paddy cultivation and preventive medicine.

Hybrid, genetically modified (GMO) seeds vs Traditional seed;

Hybrid seeds cannot grow easily without AGRO CHEMICALS. Hybrid seeds are made to create a market for agro-chemicals and pharmaceutical products. Now, intelligent people have realized the link between agro-chemicals, diseases, pharmaceuticals.

Do you think that pharmaceutical companies have compassion to help you with your disease?
Don’t you think that Pharmaceutical companies have marketing strategies to increase their sales, annual revenue and profit?
THEN, who is going to be the victim?
Healthy, happy people!
What did the father of Western Medicine, Hipporcrates tell?

“Let food be the medicine. Let the medicine be the food.”
