Maestro Visharad Ananda Senaratne, B. Sc (Sri
Lanka), Pg. D (Sri Lanka), F. D (S’pore), ATC (U.K), S. V (Luknow) is known as
the man of creativity due to his super-talented, versatile artistic and a
scientific creativity. Ananda started his artistic career at the age of 50
years, winning national awards to his first drama “Panchalee” in 2008.
Panchalee is a stylized drama enriched with folk music similar to Maname of
Prof. Sarachchandra. Ananda was serving as the Director of Civil Aviation, Sri
Lanka and retired early (2012) to sacrifice his life to music, drama, fictions
and various types of arts in Sri Lanka.
His thinking is always revolutionary. Even though his doctrine is
unbelievable to most of the ordinary public, so far, nobody could challenge. He
is a personage of the style of the philosophers Dr. E.W. Adikaram, Dr. Abraham
T Kovoor and Prof. Ven. Walpola Rahula.
