Se wa Valalari yitwa Ramaya, nyina na we yitwa Kinami. Patiri Ramaiah yari umucungezi w’itunga ry’i Marudhur, akaba yari umwigisha yigisha abana. Mawe Chinnammai ni we yitwararika iyo nzu yongera ararera abana biwe. Se wa Vallalar Ramaiah yapfuye mu kwezi kwa gatandatu amaze kuvuka. Mawe Chinnammai, yiyumvira inyigisho n’akazoza k’abana biwe, yagiye i Chennai mu Buhindi. Murumuna wa Vallalar yitwa Sabapathy yarize ari kumwe na Porofeseri Sabapathy wo muri Kanchipuram. Yaciye aba umuhinga mu vy’insiguro y’ibinyoma. Amahera yaronka mu kuja mu nsiguro yarayakoresha mu gutunga umuryango wiwe. Sabapathi ubwiwe yarize umuvukanyi wiwe Ramalingam. Mu nyuma, yaramurungitse kwiga n’umwigisha yari yize, ari we Porofeseri Sabapathi wo muri Kanchipuram.
Ramalingam, yasubiye i Chennai, yarakunda gusura urusengero rwa Kandasamy. Yari afise umunezero wo gusenga Umukama Murugan i Kandakottam. Yaririmvye yongera aririmba indirimbo zivuga ku Mukama akiri muto. Ramalingam, utaja kw’ishure canke ngo agume i muhira, yarahanwe na mukuru wiwe Sabapathi. Ariko Ramalingam ntiyumvirije mukuru wiwe. Ni co gituma Sabapathi yategetse cane umukenyezi wiwe Papathi Ammal guhagarika guha Ramalingam ivyokurya. Ramalingam, yemeye ivyo mukuru wiwe mukundwa yamusaba, aca asezerana ko azoguma i muhira yiga. Ramalingam yagumye mu cumba co hejuru c’iyo nzu. Uretse ibihe vyo gufungura, yaguma mu cumba mu bindi bihe kandi akagira uruhara n’umwete mu gusenga Imana. Umusi umwe, mu cirore cari ku ruhome, yari afise umunezero mwinshi, aririmba indirimbo, yizera ko Imana yamubonekeye.
Mukuru wiwe Sabapathi, yahora atanga inyigisho ku migani, ntiyashoboye kuja mu nyigisho yari yemeye kubera ubumuga. Yaciye rero asaba murumuna wiwe Ramalingam kuja aho iyo nsiguro yari kubera, akaririmba indirimbo zimwe zimwe kugira ngo asubize inyuma ukuntu atashoboye kuza. Hakurikijwe ivyo, Ramalingam yaragiyeyo. Uwo musi, abantu benshi cane bari bakoraniye kugira ngo bumvirize insiguro ya Sabapathi. Ramalingam yaririmvye indirimbo zimwe zimwe nk’uko mukuru wiwe yari yamubwiye. Ivyo biheze, abantu bari bakoraniye ng’aho baramaze igihe kirekire bashimika ku vy’uko yotanga insiguro y’ivy’impwemu. Ramalingam na we nyene aravyemera rero. Iyo nyigisho yabereye mw’ijoro ryinshi. Abantu bose baratangaye kandi barashima. Ico cari ikiganiro ciwe ca mbere. Iciyo gihe yari afise imyaka icenda.
Ramalingam yatanguye gusenga afise imyaka cumi n’ibiri i Thiruvottriyur. Yahora agenda n’amaguru aja i Thiruvottriyur imisi yose avuye mu karere k’amariba indwi aho yaba. Ramalingam akurikije ugushimika kwa benshi, yaremeye kwubaka afise imyaka mirongo ibiri n’indwi. Yarongoye umukobwa wa mushikawe Unnamulai yitwa Thanakodi. Umugabo n’umugore bompi ntibagira uruhara mu buzima bwo mu rugo kandi bari binjiye mu ciyumviro c’Imana. Umukenyezi wiwe Thanakodi yemeye, ubuzima bw’ubugeni buraheza mu musi umwe. Vallalar arabandanya utwigoro twiwe two kuronka ukudapfa, yemewe n’umukenyezi wiwe. Ramalingam yaripfuza kumenya Imana y’ukuri biciye ku bumenyi. Ni co gituma mu mwaka w’1858, yavuye i Chennai, aja mu nsengero nyinshi, ashika mu gisagara citwa Chidambaram. Umuyobozi w’igisagara citwa Karunguzhi, citwa Thiruvengadam, abonye Vallalar i Chidambaram, aca amusaba ngo aze agume mu gisagara ciwe no mu nzu yiwe. Vallalar aboshe n’urukundo rwiwe, aca amara imyaka icenda mu nzu y’uburaro ya Thiruvengadam.
Imana nyayo iri mu bwonko mu mutwe wacu, nk’agace gatoyi. Umuco w’iyo Mana ungana n’umuco w’izuba miliyaridi. Kugira rero abantu basanzwe batahure Imana ari yo muco uri muri twebwe, Vallalar yashize itara hanze, ararishima mu buryo bw’umuco. Yatanguye kwubaka urusengero rw’umuco hafi y’i Sathya Dharmachalai mu mwaka w’1871.Arwita urusengero, rwarangiye mu mezi nk’atandatu, ‘Inama y’Ubwenge’. Yarubatse urusengero mu gisagara citwa Vadalur ku Mana iba mu buryo bw’umuco nk’ubumenyi bukomeye buri mu bwonko bwacu. Imana nyayo ni ubumenyi buri mu mitwe yacu, kandi ku batashobora kubutahura, yubatse urusengero kw’isi, acana itara muri urwo rusengero, ababwira ngo bazirikane iryo tara nk’Imana kandi barisenge. Iyo twibanda ku vyiyumviro vyacu muri ubwo buryo, turabona Imana ari yo bumenyi buri mu mitwe yacu.
Ku wa kabiri mu gitondo isaha umunani, yashize ibendera imbere y’inyubakwa yitwa Siddhi Valakam mu gisagara ca Mettukuppam, atanga insiguro ndende ku bantu bari bakoraniye hamwe. Iyo nsiguro yitwa ‘inyigisho nini cane’. Iyi nsiguro iyobora umuntu ngo ahimbare imisi yose. Risubiza ibibazo vyinshi bivyuka mu minwe. Insiguro ni iyo guca mu migenzo yacu y’ibinyoma. Avuga ko inzira y’ukuri ari ukumenya no kwibonera ukuri kw’ibidukikije uko biri. Si ivyo gusa. Vallalar ubwiwe yarabajije ibibazo vyinshi tutavyiyumviriye kandi aravyishura. Ivyo bibazo ni ibi bikurikira:.
Imana ni iki? Imana iri hehe? Mbega Imana ni imwe canke ni nyinshi? Ni kubera iki dukwiye gusenga Imana? None hazogenda gute nitwasenga Imana? Mbega hariho ikintu citwa ijuru? None dukwiye gusenga gute Imana? Mbega Imana ni imwe canke ni nyinshi? Mbega Imana irafise ibiganza n’ibirenge? Mbega hari ico twokorera Imana? Ni ubuhe buryo bworoshe bwo kuronka Imana? None Imana iri hehe mu kameremere? Ni ubuhe buryo budapfa? None duhindura gute ubumenyi bwacu bukaba ubumenyi nyakuri? None ubaza gute ibibazo ukaronka inyishu? Ni igiki kiduhisha ukuri? Mbega hari ico dushobora kuronka ku Mana tutakoze? Idini yoba ifise akamaro mu kumenya Imana y’ukuri?
Ivyakurikiyeho amaze gushira hejuru ibendera ni uko, mu kwezi kw’ikitamili kwitwa Karthigai, ku musi mukuru wo guhimbaza umuco, yafashe itara rya deepa ryama ryaka mu cumba ciwe, arishira imbere y’ iyo nzu y’uburaro. Ku musi wa 19 w’ukwezi kwa Thai mu mwaka w’1874, ni ukuvuga muri Mukakaro, ku musi w’inyenyeri Poosam ivugwa mu vy’inyenyeri vy’Abahindi, Vallalar yarahezagiye bose. Vallalar yinjiye mu cumba c’inzu y’uburaro mu gicugu. Nk’uko yari yipfuje, abigishwa biwe bahambaye, Kalpattu Aiya na Thozhuvur Velayudham, barakingiye urugi rw’ico cumba cari gipfutse bavuye hanze.
Kuva uwo musi, Vallalar ntiyabonetse nk’ishusho ku maso yacu y’umubiri, ahubwo yabaye umuco w’Imana wo guhingura ubumenyi. Kubera ko amaso yacu y’umubiri adafise ububasha bwo kubona umubiri w’ubumenyi, ntashobora kubona Umukama wacu yama ari hose. Kubera ko umubiri w’ubumenyi uri hejuru y’uburebure bw’umuvuduko w’umuco uboneka n’amaso y’umuntu, amaso yacu ntashobora kuwubona. Vallalar, nk’uko yari abizi, yabanje guhindura umubiri wiwe w’umuntu umubiri utyoroye, hanyuma umubiri w’ijwi witwa Om, hanyuma umubiri w’ubumenyi budahera, kandi yama ari kumwe natwe kandi aduha ubuntu bwiwe.
