Sri Lanka: Rt. Rev. Dr. Rayapu Joseph — The Prophet of our Time
The meaning of the voice of Bishop Rayappu is that justice should be a flowing steam and righteousness a river flowing without drying up. A prophet while witnessing the truth tries to warn of the dangers ahead.
This is a story of a man who dedicates himself to propagate the Kingdom of God(Kingdom Values) and established a Just and Peaceful country for all those Men and Women who born, live and die together as members of one family. He is one who has devoted himself to achieving spiritual liberation, but in his it is not only for him, but more importantly, for the sake of others, specially the Tamil language speaking people live in North and East of Sri Lanka who have humiliated, brutally killed, suffered for more than 50 years in the history and he is doing so from the Island of Mannar situated in North predominantly Tamil population live.

( October 10, 2017, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) We have confused and complicated our struggle in gaining independence as a country which had been colonized by the imperial powers for nearly five centuries, while our elder sister gained independence effectively; we paid allegiance to the imperial powers but was allergic to the use of English language. India opposed the imperial powers and preserved the English language. As a consequence, we and our children lost our way in social, economics and political development. Even in the field of education we have stranded ourselves.
