Rankema Mission

Animating all life force energy,ever creating, preserving and destroying;
In the guise of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva
wielding its threefold life giving powers;

The Greatest Light that illumines the world;
The Sun God,
in whose name birthed Hela Deya, the Sinhala race,
and Hela Bima, the land of the Sinhalese,
bringing forth the science of life, Ayurveda,
offering well being to the world.

The Great Physician for all samsaric ills of beings;
Heavenly Sun for pitch-dark delusion,
destroying all veils of illusion;
The Supreme Sage,
giver of blissful mental states of abiding;

Following in His footsteps,
bringing physical and mental well being,
may this golden oasis, Rankema,
in this golden age that dawned
two thousand years after the era of Christ,
provide a safe haven for nourishing the mind and healing the body;

May we be empowered evermore with your blessed firm touch
to bring good will for all humanity.

May a world that affirms in oneness health as the highest gain,
contentment as the highest wealth,
awaken its note of joy in the human kingdom.
May the light of Universal Presence of Love
radiate its brilliance from Hela Bima, the land of the Sinhalese,
and from Rankema, the golden oasis!
