Please select the most entertaining copy.

(a) An illustrated Guide to the buried cities of Ceylon by Jones Bateman AES reprint ISBN 81-206-0908-5 

On this site in the days of Pandukhabaya (5th century B.C.) stood the Tittharama monastery for Jain ascetics. It was still occupied by this sect when Watha Gamani Ahbhaya, nephew of great Duttha Gamini, began to reign at the beginning of the 2nd century B.C. This king had a Tamil invasion to deal with, & was defeated in a great battle outside the northern gate of the city. As he fled past the Tittharama its high priest, a monk Giri, mocked the royal fugitive, Wattha Gamani made a vow to destroy the monastery & replace it with a Buddhist community, should he ever recover his throne. The next fifteen years he spent in exile, fed by the priesthood & living in caves & jungles. Dambulla caves became his refuge for a time, & he founded the temple there. His crowning misfortune was to lose the Bowl relic, which the Tamils carried off to India. Wattha Gamini Abhaya, however, came back to the ancient city of his fathers, expelled the invader, & proceeded to fulfill his vow. The Tittharama was destroyed & the community dispersed. On the site rose the Abhayagiri, so called after the king & the monk Giri

 

(b) “The Story of Lanka” by L.E. Blaze AES reprint  ISBN 81-206-1074-1

When Valagam Bahu fled from the Tamils he left Anuradhapura through a gate near which some Hindu priests lived. As he fled, one of thse priests, named Giri, rudely laughed at him, crying out, “ The great black Sinhala is flying!” Now, it is bad enough to mock people who are in trouble, but this man  was ungrateful as well as rude; for it was by the king’s favour that he & others who were not Buddhists were allowed to follow their own religion in Lanka. The king noticed the insult, but could do nothing att he time to punish the man. ……………….A Sinhalese army was colleted, &, putting himself at its  head, Valagam Bahu marched to Anyradhapura, defeated & killed the Tamil chief, & again ruled over his own people.

The king was now able to reward those who had been faithful to him & to punish his enemie. Several viharas were built for the faithful priests. One of them was the splendid Ahhaya giri Vihara, which was built on the ground where formerly stood the temple of Giri, the Hindu priest who insulted the king. The name of the vihara was formed from Abhaya, part of the kings’s name & Giri.

Establishment of the monastery in 88 BC

The third of Anuradhapura's great monasteries, Abhayagiri lies on the northern side of the city. The great monastery was founded by King Vatttagamani Abhaya (Valagambahu) (104-76 BC) in 88 BC. King Valagambahu had lost his throne to an army of marauding Dravidian invaders from South India. Whilst escaping from the city, the king was taunted by a Jain priest of the Giri Monastery, who shouted: "The great black Sinhala lion is fleeing". An Indian Jain monk having a Jain hermitage in then capital of Buddhist Lanka itself, is an outstanding indication of the religious tolerance of ancient Lanka. In spite of the religious tolerance in the island, the contempt of the Jain monk towards the Sinhalese & the Sinhalese king brought nothing but the downfall of Jain monastery. The king even while fleeing, vowed to regain his kingdom & built a Buddhist monastery over the Jain hermitage. Fourteen years later, the lion-hearted king rescued his island from the marauding Dravidian invaders, razed the Jain hermitage to the ground & established a monumental Buddhist monastery to the great satisfaction of his subjects.

Creation in destruction

King Vatttagamani Abhaya named the new Buddhist monastery with a combination of the second part of his own name (meaning fearless-as in the Abhaya, or "Have No Fear" as in Buddhist mudra of the Buddhist statues) & name of the demolished Jain monastery itself "Giri". Although the king had the building of the Jain monastery wiped off the earth, he resolved to immortalize the name of Jain monastery in a Buddhist monastery. Even in the destruction, the Sinhalese seemed to have a tolerant aspect in their nature.

SEO Content Writing by bunpeiris

So you have your website designed, developed, hosted and up and running, do you expect it to generate business on-line? Unless your trading entity is already having a well-established brand name, at least in your own geo-location, you would be laboring under a delusion. Lost among one hundred million+ websites (Feb 2007, Netcraft Web Survey), what is the chance of your web site appearing in front of the desired audience? That would be akin to locating a needle in a hay stack. The solution is to target your audience: to make your website appear in the cross-hairs of the search engines.

Search Engine Optimization or as commonly called SEO is simply a progressive process in which visibility of your website throughout the web is raised to the highest possible level. But then the process isn’t simple: it is delicate, complex and continuous. Entrust us to do the search engine optimization: firstly, we follow the time-tested means that rest with the Search Engine Optimization; secondly, we follow the new trends being adopted by search engines continuously.

Of the most popular search engines, Google (85%) dominate the search preferences, the search engine market share in web. Yahoo, Bing, Ask, & AOL and other search engines make up the remainder of the Search Engine Share Market. Once your website begins to appear in these search engines, since the concept of excellence has set no ceiling, our process of Search Engine Optimization continues to achieve still higher position for your website or at least retain the high position or the high rank already achieved. Retaining the achieved high ranking is even harder than achieving, since close at heels are the competitors hell bent to capture the slot. World Wide Web, at least in terms of Search Engine Optimization, at its best, is unwaveringly fickle.

The content being the king in SEO, a high volume of unique subject material is the paramount requirement. Then again, no matter the value of your content, if your web site hasn’t earned credible inward links, it is unlikely to achieve the ranking required to generate your business. That’s not all. Website development itself ought to be targeted towards the Search Engine Optimization: the uncluttered coding in the web development is bound to make a vital factor.
Then the domain name, home page title, navigation, the string of keywords, meta tags, meta descriptions, page titles, back links to anchor texts of your web pages from high ranking web pages, internal links of inner pages as well as home page and submission to major search engines & major directories are indispensable Right Stuff of SEO. All of these are done manually with the ideal SEO techniques and perfect SEO tools.

Furthermore the Search Engine Optimization can be bolstered by continues work at website and blog networks, bookmarking and not to forget social networking.
Once again, we mustn’t fail to remember that the content is the king: the content need to be updated since crawlers (content browsing robots) of the search engines are continuously in search of new content. That’s where we land: entrust us with your Content Writing and SEO.
