Okutuukiriza: Oyo eyazuula nti omuntu naye asobola okutuuka ku mbeera ya Katonda n’atafa, n’atuuka ku mbeera eyo. Mu Buyindi, mu Tamil Nadu, mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Marudhur, ekisangibwa kiromita amakumi abiri mu bukiikakkono bw’ekibuga Chidambaram, Ramalingam amanyiddwa nga Vallalar yazaalibwa ku Ssande nga October 5, 1823, ku ssaawa 5:54 ez’ekiro.
Taata wa Vallalar yali Ramaiah, ate nnyina yali Chinnammai. Faaza Ramaiah yali mubalirizi wa bitabo wa Marudhur era nga musomesa asomesa abaana. Maama Chinnammai ye yalabirira ennyumba era n’akuza abaana be. Taata wa Vallalar Ramaiah yafa mu mwezi ogw'omukaaga bukya azaalibwa. Maama Chinnammai, ng’alowooza ku buyigirize n’ebiseera by’abaana be eby’omu maaso, yagenda e Chennai mu Buyindi. Mukulu wa Vallalar, Sabapathy yasomera wansi wa Pulofeesa Sabapathy ow’e Kanchipuram. Yafuuka kafulu mu mboozi z’ebyafaayo (epic discourse). Ssente ze yafunanga mu kugenda mu mboozi yazikozesa okulabirira amaka ge. Sabapathi yennyini yasomesa muto we Ramalingam. Oluvannyuma, yamusindika okusoma wansi w’omusomesa gwe yali asomye naye, Kanchipuram Professor Sabapathi.
Ramalingam, eyaddayo e Chennai, yateranga okukyalira yeekaalu ya Kandasamy. Yali musanyufu okusinza Mukama Murugan e Kandakottam. Yayiiya n’okuyimba ennyimba ezikwata ku Mukama ng’akyali muto. Ramalingam atagenda ku ssomero wadde okusigala awaka, mukulu we Sabapathi yamunenya. Naye Ramalingam teyawuliriza mukulu we. N’olwekyo, Sabapathi yalagira nnyo mukyala we Papathi Ammal okulekera awo okugabula Ramalingam emmere. Ramalingam, bwe yakkiriza okusaba kwa mukulu we omwagalwa, yasuubiza okusigala awaka n’okusoma. Ramalingam yasula mu kisenge ekya waggulu mu nnyumba. Ng’oggyeeko ebiseera by’okulya, yasulanga mu kisenge mu biseera ebirala era nga yeenyigira nnyo mu kusinza Katonda. Olunaku lumu, mu ndabirwamu eyali ku bbugwe, yasanyuka nnyo era n’ayimba ennyimba, ng’akkiriza nti Katonda yali amulabiseeko.
Mukulu we, Sabapathi, eyali awa emisomo ku nfumo, teyasobola kugenda mu musomo gwe yali akkirizza olw’obulwadde. Bwatyo yasaba muto we Ramalingam agende mu kifo omusomo we gwali gugenda okutegekebwa ayimbe ennyimba ezimu okusobola okumalawo obutasobola kwe kujja. Okusinziira ku kino, Ramalingam yagendayo. Ku lunaku olwo, abantu bangi nnyo baali bakuŋŋaanye okuwuliriza omusomo gwa Sabapathi. Ramalingam yayimba ennyimba ezimu nga mukulu we bwe yali amugambye. Oluvannyuma lw’ekyo, abantu abaali bakuŋŋaaniddeyo ne bakkaatiriza okumala ebbanga ddene nti alina okuwa omusomo ogw’eby’omwoyo. Kale Ramalingam naye n’akkiriza. Omusomo gwabadde mu kiro ekikeesezza olwaleero. Buli omu yeewuunya era nga yeegomba. Guno gwe gwali omusomo gwe ogwasooka. Mu kiseera ekyo yalina emyaka mwenda.
Ramalingam yatandika okusinza ku myaka kkumi n’ebiri mu Thiruvottriyur. Yatambulanga n’ebigere okutuuka e Thiruvottriyur buli lunaku ng’ava mu kitundu eky’enzizi omusanvu gye yali abeera. Oluvannyuma lw’okukkaatiriza kw’abangi, Ramalingam yakkiriza okufumbirwa ku myaka abiri mu musanvu. Yawasa muwala wa mwannyina Unnamulai, Thanakodi. Omwami n’omukyala bombi tebaali beenyigira mu bulamu bw’amaka era nga bannyikidde mu ndowooza ya Katonda. Nga mukyala we Thanakodi akkirizza, obulamu bw’obufumbo buggwa mu lunaku lumu. Nga mukyala we akkirizza, Vallalar agenda mu maaso n’okufuba okutuuka ku butafa. Ramalingam yali ayagala okumanya Katonda ow’amazima ng’ayita mu kumanya. N’olwekyo, mu 1858, yava e Chennai n’agenda mu yeekaalu nnyingi era n’atuuka mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Chidambaram. Olw’okulaba Vallalar mu Chidambaram, omuddukanya ekibuga ekiyitibwa Karunguzhi, ayitibwa Thiruvengadam, yamusaba ajje asigale mu kibuga kye ne mu nnyumba ye. Nga asibiddwa omukwano gwe, Vallalar yasula mu maka ga Thiruvengadam okumala emyaka mwenda.
Katonda omutuufu asangibwa mu bwongo mu mutwe gwaffe, nga atomu entono. Ekitangaala kya Katonda oyo kyenkana okumasamasa kw’enjuba akawumbi. N’olwekyo, abantu ba bulijjo okusobola okutegeera Katonda nga ye musana munda mu ffe, Vallalar yateeka ettaala ebweru n’agitendereza mu ngeri y’ekitangaala. Yatandika okuzimba yeekaalu y’ekitangaala okumpi ne Sathya Dharmachalai mu mwaka gwa 1871. Yeekaalu eno eyamalirizibwa mu myezi nga mukaaga yagituuma ‘Olukiiko lw’Amagezi’. Yazimba yeekaalu mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Vadalur eri Katonda abeera mu ngeri y’ekitangaala ng’okumanya okunene mu bwongo bwaffe. Katonda omutuufu kwe kumanya mu mitwe gyaffe, era eri abo abatasobola kukitegeera, yazimba yeekaalu ku nsi, n’akoleeza ettaala mu yeekaalu eyo, n’abagamba nti ettaala eyo bagirowoozeeko nga Katonda era bagisinze. Bwe tussa ebirowoozo byaffe mu ngeri eyo, tulaba Katonda ali okumanya mu mitwe gyaffe.
Ku Lwokubiri ku makya ku ssaawa munaana, yawanise bendera mu maaso g’ekizimbe ekiyitibwa Siddhi Valakam mu kibuga Mettukuppam n’awa okubuulira okuwanvu eri abantu abaali bakuŋŋaanye. Okubuulira okwo kuyitibwa ‘okuyigiriza okunene ennyo’. Okubuulira kuno kulungamya omuntu okubeera omusanyufu bulijjo. Kiddamu ebibuuzo bingi ebibaawo mu ngalo. Okubuulira kukwata ku kumenya enzikiriza zaffe ez’obulimba. Agamba nti ekkubo ettuufu kwe kumanya n’okulaba amazima g’obutonde nga bwe gali. Si ekyo kyokka. Vallalar yennyini abuuzizza ebibuuzo bingi bye tutalowoozezzaako era n’abiddamu. Ebibuuzo ebyo bye bino wammanga:.
Katonda kye ki? Katonda ali ludda wa? Katonda omu oba bangi? Lwaki tusaanidde okusinza Katonda? Kiki ekinabaawo singa tetusinza Katonda? Waliwo ekintu ekiyitibwa eggulu? Tusaanidde tutya okusinza Katonda? Katonda omu oba bangi? Katonda alina emikono n’ebigere? Ekintu kyonna kye tusobola okukolera Katonda? Engeri ki esinga okuba ennyangu ey’okuzuula Katonda? Katonda ali ludda wa mu butonde? Kifaananyi ki ekitafa? Tukyusa tutya okumanya kwaffe okufuuka okumanya okwa nnamaddala? Obuuza otya ebibuuzo n’ofuna eby’okuddamu? Kiki ekitukweka amazima? Tuyinza okufuna ekintu kyonna okuva eri Katonda nga tetukoze? Eddiini ya mugaso mu kumanya Katonda ow’amazima?
Ekiddako oluvannyuma lw’okuwanirira bendera kyali nti, mu mwezi gw’Abatamil ogwa Karthigai, ku lunaku lw’embaga ng’ajaguza ekitangaala, yakwata ettaala ya deepa eyali eyaka bulijjo mu kisenge kye n’agiteeka mu maaso ennyumba ennene. Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’omwenda mu mwezi gwa Thailand mu mwaka gwa 1874, kwe kugamba, mu January, ku lunaku lw’emmunyeenye ya Poosam eyogerwako mu by’emmunyeenye mu Buyindi, Vallalar yawa buli muntu omukisa. Vallalar yayingira mu kisenge ky’ennyumba eno mu ttumbi. Nga bwe yali ayagala, abayigirizwa be abakulu, Kalpattu Aiya ne Thozhuvur Velayudham, baasibye oluggi lw’ekisenge ekyali kiggaddwa okuva ebweru.
Okuva ku lunaku olwo, Vallalar teyalabika ng’ekifaananyi eri amaaso gaffe ag’omubiri, wabula ebadde kitangaala kya Katonda olw’okutondebwa kw’okumanya. Okuva amaaso gaffe ag’omubiri bwe gatalina maanyi ga kulaba mubiri gwa kumanya, tegasobola kulaba Mukama waffe, ali bulijjo era buli wamu. Okuva omubiri gw’okumanya bwe gusukka obuwanvu bw’amayengo g’ekisengejjero ekirabika amaaso g’omuntu, amaaso gaffe tegasobola kukiraba. Vallalar, nga bwe yali amanyi, yasooka kukyusa omubiri gwe ogw’obuntu mu mubiri omulongoofu, oluvannyuma n’afuuka omubiri gw’amaloboozi oguyitibwa Om, n’oluvannyuma n’afuuka omubiri ogw’okumanya okutaggwaawo, era bulijjo ali naffe era agaba ekisa kye.
