What Namal said after publishing an upside down photo ....
of Mahinda 'thaththa'
A certain photograph published in the Facebook Page of MP Namal Rajapaksa yesterday was something that perplexed those who saw it for a moment. What was seen there was a scene where former
President Mahinda Rajapaksa was holding a pillow in his hand and hanging from a rope.
It is said that it was clicked when he was engaged in Yoga exercises. A former stately President hanging like this is in one hand something special. On the other hand someone who has completed his 70 years being able to be in this position speaks about his health condition. ("I still can ...."). What Namal says about publicizing a photo of this nature across the Facebook is that since it is the birthday of Mahinda's Yoga teacher who appears in the photo, he has published this as a gift to him. Actually, this teacher is Nanda Siriwardena and because of this photograph he would become even more famous. What Namal further says is that Nanda would be appointed as the teacher of Namal's children too. The comment and photo left by Namal is as follows
-------------------------------------------------
Today is the birthday of a respectable Sri Lankan and teacher. He is none other than outstanding Yoga teacher Nanda Siriwardena. Nobody would have so far seen a souvenir that I bestow on him as the birthday gift.
It is the moment which I clicked on my camera; the day after my loving father's 70th birthday when engaged in Yoga exercises in the company of Guru Nanda.
Mentor, My wish today is that you sir who is the Yoga teacher of me and my father would one day be the mentor of my children too.
Blessings of the Triple! Gem!
