Naval war heroes were remembered and their souls were blessed with merits during the Pooja held with offerings dedicated to the Gods. Commander of the Navy, the naval fleet, officers and sailors were also blessed for the efficient functioning of the Navy.
Sri Lanka Navy celebrates its 60th anniversary on 09th December 2010, giving prominence to religious activities of all faiths, in order to invoke blessings on heroic naval personnel who sacrificed their life, limb and liberty for the honour of the Navy while safeguarding the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the motherland. Buddhist, Hindu, Christian and Islamic religious ceremonies are conducted accordingly with the participation of naval personnel representing cross sections of the Navy.
The Navy, which is a composite complement of personnel from all faiths, is mindful of the importance of promoting religious harmony. The Priests, highly impressed by the Navy’s religious fervour, offered counsel of religious wisdom and extended their whole-hearted blessings to its personnel wishing them strength and long life to continue their noble service for the benefit of the motherland.
