The Poson full moon poya day in 236 BC marked a deeply significant event in Sri Lankan history as the arrival of Arahant Mahinda Thero and his retinue of Dhamma messengers, bearing the sacred teachings of the Gautama Buddha, was taken place. This historic moment laid the foundation for the flourishing of the Sambuddha Sasana (Buddha’s Dispensation) in Sri Lanka. Through the light of pure Dhamma and new spiritual awakening, the Sri Lankan people were liberated from superstition and guided toward a higher understanding of reality.
In commemoration of this meritorious occasion, a manioc dansal was organised on 10 May 2025 in front of the Silver Bugals Outlet premises of the SLLI Regimental Centre, Panagoda under the guidance of the Commander Security Forces (Jaffna) and Colonel of the Regiment, Major General YABM Yahampath RWP RSP ndu psc and mrs. Darshani Yahampath, the Chairperson of SLLI SVB.
The Centre Commandant, Members of SLLI SVB, Senior Officers, Officers, Other Ranks and devotees participated in the dansala.
