Dear Friends,
As we gather to celebrate the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, I am filled with joy as I extend my warmest greetings to all those observing this vibrant and meaningful occasion.
The dawn of a new year brings with it a tapestry of traditions and customs that reflect our rich cultural heritage. While our practices may differ, the underlying hope for a peaceful, prosperous future resonates across all faiths and communities. The symbols of this season—filled with life, joy, and renewal—serve as a reminder of our shared aspirations.
During this festive period, let us cherish the bonds we share with family, friends, and our broader community. It is this unity that has helped us navigate the challenges of the past, and it is the same strength that equips us to face the future with courage and resilience.
This year, may we cultivate a deeper awareness of our shared humanity, recognizing our vulnerabilities and interdependence. Let this understanding guide us towards compassion and unity as we step into the New Year with hope and determination.
Wishing you all a blessed Sinhala and Tamil New Year, filled with joy and prosperity.Warm regards,
