Gammaduwa Sri Lankan Variety Show Presented by Buddhist Vihara Society in BC - October 20, 2007 Michael J Fox Theatre, Burnaby BC, Canada Sam W Samarakoon, Thanuja Jayawardane, Renuka Perera, Ankumbure Gunadasa, Chandana Liyanage, Rayan Kulasekara
NirosanTD and pbk0007 These people in Canada (Buddhist Vihare Society) staged those two dramas and put them onto You-tube without proper approval from Mrs Gunawardana. It is unethical
NirosanTD and pbk0007 You probably do not know the real facts about late Mr. Dayananda Gunawardana. Almost all Sri Lankan artists respect late Mr Gunawardana and his creations. Mrs Irangnai Gunawaradana, his (late DG) son and original artists including Jackson Anthony, Vijaya Nandasiri, Rodney Warnakula etc are performing all these dramas and I personally know the Naribena team is not happy about these video footages.
NirosanTD and pbk0007 - These people (Buddhist Vihare Society) are steeling late Mr Dayananda Gunawaranas creations. Performing in a small overseas community function (showing free of charge) is a different matter, but putting the same in a video format on You-tube is completely different. Most probably you do not know that late Mr. Gunawaradanas wife and his family are still staging all the dramas using original the cast in Sri Lanka. Showing these unprofessional images will hurt them.
Good work. This is the way that we can keep the classic work among the diasphora. If we can do it more artistically that is really good. But if we can have them at least at this level, it is something.
Although we were no where near to what you guys have done, above video responses are our humble attempt to promote this famous old stage play within our community.

Mr. Banda
Everybody in SriLanka knows that Nari Baena is a creation of Mr. Dayananda Guanwardana.
you are not the only one who knows that.
UTUbe is a 21st century technological marvel.
You just have to join the 21 st century eventually,......... kicking and screaming loudly.

Mr. Banda
you are like the frog that is inside the well & never venture out. your mind is ancient.
young people of the diaspora who see this video have never heard of Nari Baena if not for UTUBE.
(there's 2 Mil Lankans abroad)
Due to U tube it is heard around the world.
If it was practical for the cast of Nari baena to tour North America, they would have done it in the last 40 yrs.
simple economics.
Minds are like parachutes, they function only when they are open.
