Ramalingam stayed wih his brother's family in North chennai called" MINT"(தங்கச்சாலை).He used to go to Thiruvotriyur temple daily from his home by walk which is 7 kms away.He was 12years old then.He was so much attracted towards Lord Thigaraja &Goddes Vadivudai Amman ,he wrote numerous devotional songs praising their kindness towards all living beings.One day after worshiping at Thiruvotriyur temple,he returned very lately to his home around mid night.His brorher's wife waited for him to provide food .As he has not returned till mid night,she was worried but thought he might have stayed with some of his friend's house & might come in the morning&went to sleep locking the door.Ramalingam found that the door was locked.He was very much hungry ,walking 14kms.He tried to sleep in the sit out near the entrance (திண்ணை).But his hunger did n't allow him.Then he saw his brother'wife bringing him food,telling him not to worry & take the food.Then he slept there.In the morning , when his brother's wife came out ,she found Ramalingam sleeping in the sit out.She immediately woke him up asking why he has not called last night & asked him to take break fast as he should be hungry without night meals,When Ramalingam told her that she brought him food last night&waited till he took the meal.But replied that she was asleep & did n't come there.Now Ramalingam realized that it is none other than Goddess Vadivudai Amman in the guise of his brother's wife.What a penance Ramalingam has done that Goddess herself came to feed him.
