A Tradition Since 1920

At the inception of the YMBA, sermons were held in the evenings on weekends. However, during the period of 1920 – 1921, under the guidance of the late Mr. S.C. Weerasinghe (Secretary of Religious Activities), a strategic shift was made.

Bana preaching was moved to Sunday mornings. This change resulted in a phenomenal increase in attendance from both members and non-members. To this day, we continue this tradition, arranging sermon series a month in advance to allow devotees to plan their spiritual activities.
