  This Pinkam is organized by our dancing class. This Dhanamaya Pinkama is done in the month of January before the start of the new year classes. Before we do this Dhanamaya Pinkama the class is painted and cleaned. The older students in the class participate in the class cleaning work and parents also help. This dhanamaya pinkama has been held every year for three years now. The monks are brought in by playing hevisi.  At the last dhanamaya pinkama, we offered a casket to the temple.🙏 Many children in the class will attend this day. It is hoped to hold this Dhanamaya Pinkama and receive blessings befor the start of classes.

I was first inspired to look into this by watching a discussion on social media by Bhumi Harendra, Sri Lanka's first transgender woman. https://youtu.be/GOdSukmaRbU https://youtu.be/twmKNyNNf20  https://youtu.be/iQCkwMRR-kg We are taught in childhood that a people is either a woman or a man by birth. But some men behave like women over time, and some women behave like men. Such people change their genitals. These are known as transgender people.

These two even knew the food I like and dislike. From the time I was a child, I slept in the warmth of my grandmother. When my parents punished me for the mistakes I made, it was my grandmothers who saved me from them.  When I collected money to buy a phone, they gave me enough money. I remember very well that she told me not to say that she had given such money. When I was little I went to the temple with her every Poya day to observe Sil. Mom and Dad never told me to study well, but they are to see where I am today. But my grandmothers told me from an early age to study hard. She was so happy to see me learn. when I was a good strong person she became physically weak. My two grandmothers used to take care of me when I  was i...
