Timeline
Kalasuri Arisen Ahubudu (Sinhala: අරිසෙන් අහුබුදු; 18 March 1920 – 26 May 2011) was a Sri Lankan writer, orator, scholar, playwright, teacher (Guru), Sinhala lyricist, author and poet.
He is a member of the Hela Havula.
He has received three government awards for literary works, the title of Kalasuri from the Government of Sri Lanka, and the Sarasaviya Awards film award for best composer.
As a composer, he is especially noted for writing music performed by W.D. Amaradeva, such as Gilem Obe Guna.
He was born on 18 March 1920 in Mudiyallagahawatta in Malalaga, Koggala, Sri Lanka.
Ahubudu was the second of the three children of the family of Devundara Devamanimendra Heronis De Silva and Wathugedara Laisohami.
The child was named as Ariyasena Arsuboda by parents, which he later converted to fairly pure Sinhala name Arisen Ahubudu.
In 1937, at the age of 17, he first involved as a teacher in Piyadigama Saripuththa College, Ahangama.
Kumaratunga Munidasa gave an honorary to him as "Subas Pathin Kiwithi", due to excellent poetry he possess.
Ahubudu served 42 years as a teacher, beginning his career at Holy Trinity College in Nuwara Eliya, then he moved to Mahinda College, Galle and later to Maha Bodhi College, Maradana.
1946, he entered to the drama script writing and wrote very famous dramas at that time, such as Wanaraja Kumariya, Hela hethiriya, Sakwithi Ravana, and Lokanthaya saha geta.
While on teaching, in 1947 he published a magazine called Ediya (means "power") for children.
the motto of that magazine was "Ediya produced for improving powers of children".
He strongly believed that Sinhalese people originated from King Ravana, and not from King Vijaya.
Which is disproven by Genetic, Linguistic and Historical evidence.
Prior to his death Arisen Ahubudu was the last surviving prominent member of Hela Havula as well as the last surviving prominent Sri Lankan lyricist.
Some of the popular songs that he lyrics are Kate Kiri Suwanda, Rena Gira Rena Ambe, Pruthugeese Kaaraya, Punsada Eliyay, Sudata Sude Walakulai, Rejina Mamai Ape Rajje, and Ko Hathuro, Lanka Lanka Pembara Lanka, Dakuna Nagenahira, Mal Gomu Gumu.
His longest stint came even later at S. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia 29 years from 1952 until 1979 where he was among those recruited by Warden R. S. de Saram and who, together with Sandadas Coperehewa and G. L. Jinadasa supported by D. S. Jayasekera, was a leader in the post independence renaissance in teaching of the Sinhala language and literary activities.
He taught briefly at Kibiya Government College, Katugastota and Deegala Buddhist College, Katugastota as well.
He married Sanda Ahubudu on 8 August 1953 and they have one daughter Sanda Samathi Ahubudu.
