Bambarakanda Falls

Bambarakanda Falls

 Bambarakanda Falls is the tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka and is the 299th tallest waterfall in the world. Its height is 263 meters or 863 feet. This waterfall is also very popular among tourists not only in Sri Lanka but also in the world. This waterfall is also known as 'Bambarakele' waterfall and is formed by a small stream which is a tributary of the Walawe river. The Walawe River, which starts from the Horton Plains, then divides into several smaller tributaries, one of which is the Bambarakanda Falls. At the bottom of the falls, the small stream joins the Walawe river again.😍

From the platform near the waterfall you can experience the splendor of this beautiful Bambarakanda waterfall and this place is very suitable for bathing unlike other waterfalls in Sri Lanka. But do not go near the place where the waterfall falls as it is deeper. There are also several bathing spots at the bottom of the falls.👌

It is used for cultivation in the highlands during the dry season, so the waterfall looks very thin. There are two other beautiful waterfalls near this waterfall, Lanka Ella and Yalatenna Falls and we can experience the beauty of these two waterfalls on our way to Bambarakanda.💙

Meditation

                     Meditation makes our human life more healing and more meaningful. Meditation is a special kind of meditation that develops your mind. This is called mindfulness meditation.

           If we can develop meditation, our mind will begin to develop rapidly in this life itself: Meditation is a method of developing the productive states of the mind. Few people in this world develop the mind. We can be among those few.

 We do this by constantly generating certain mental states until they become a habit. Physically, meditation is pointed out as a real building of the latest neural pathways.

Benefits of Meditation

There are many different effective mental states that can be developed through meditation:

More relaxation and less stress

More focus and less distractions

Being more relaxed and free from constant worries

To have a better understanding of ourselves and our lives and to have a similar understanding of others

Developing many positive attitudes such as compassion and kindness

Most of us need a calmer, clearer and happier mind. If we are stressed or in a negative state, it makes us unhappy. It adversely affects our health and can destroy our livelihoods, family life and friendships.

If we are tired of stress and instant anger, then we may be looking for ways to help - like meditation. Meditation enables us to overcome emotional shortcomings without any side effects.

We need a realistic approach to meditation. It is a tool for achieving positive results, not an instant solution that can be applied to anything. No result can be achieved for one reason. But the causes and consequences are many. For example, if we have high blood pressure, meditation can help. But if there is no change in diet or exercise, there is nothing that can be done through meditation.

Black Panthera

❤

 Recently we heard the farewell of a rare animal endemic to Sri Lanka.😞

These black tigers include Panthera pardus or Leopard, one of the five major Panthera species in the world. A name used to address. (Ex: sand leopard, green leopard)

Kingdom: The Beast

Family: Chordata

Type: Mammalian

Tribe: Canivora

Caste: Felidae

Caste: Panthera

Special: P.pardus

Scientific name of the Sri Lankan tiger

Panthera pardus kotiya🐆

There are eight subspecies of tiger (Panthera pardus) around the world, one of which is the Panthera pardus kotiya. This subspecies is endemic to Sri Lanka. Typical tigers have light yellow (rusty) fur, with a long, pointed tip at the tip of the tail. The black tiger found in Nallathanniya, which has been the subject of some controversy in recent times, is a species belonging to the above species. Zoologists point out that although these animals are black, they do not belong to any other species but to the subspecies Panthera pardus kotiya. Listed as an endangered species (conservation status - EN). This subspecies is found in forests, tea estates, plantations, home gardens and even pine forests.

Depending on the physical characteristics of these animals, the adult male tiger weighs 56kg - 77kg (124 - 170 lb lb) and body length (from head to tail) 1.27m - 1.42m (4 ft 2 - 4 ft 8 in). The slightly longer tail is usually 86cm - 97cm (2 10 in 10 ft 3 ft 8 in) known tigers: tigers generally have little resemblance to jaguars.💛

Both Jaguars and Tigers belong to the Black Panthers group, which has become one of the most sought after species in the world.

The existence of these black tigers, which were considered extinct in Sri Lanka decades ago, was reported again in early January this year 😍. This could lead to a sharp decline in the Sri Lankan Black Tiger population in Sri Lanka. It is our duty to save these animals which are lost to the country by killing them for their skin and falling into the traps set by other animals.
