Atqar Qarwy Qaldaý (Qazan:Atqar Qarwy Qaldaý /ätˈqar qärˈwə qalˈd̪aɪ̯/), born as "Atkaryv Beriski-Teridiviz Kaldaý" is the founder of Qaldaism and an essential prophet in the religion.
Early Life
Qaldaý was born on January 28, 1245 in Salakyv(Qazan:salaqyw "Salaqyw") near Arsatyń. Qaldaý was born into a Devotionist family, and spent the first 14 years of his life in his mother's birthplace Arbursatu. Qaldaý was always fascinated with religion and regularly went to temples to pray and spent most of his time learning to read and write instead of playing with other children in the town. Qaldaý decided that he would devote his life to religion at the age of 14, and went into the Jalqaýyfśa to become a monk.
Middle Life
In the Jalqaýyfśa, Qaldaý was praised for his knowledge of Devotionism at a young age and his wisdom. Qaldaý spent most of his time interpreting scripture and printing holy books in the monastery. Unlike his fellow monks, Qaldaý spent more time worshipping Jet than any other Devotionist deity, and as such was described as defiant at times by some senior monks, but for the most part Qaldaý had a positive image inside the monastery. At the age of 29 Qaldaý along with 3 other monks were sent to Biridek as missionaries. Qaldaý stayed there for 5 years, and it was at this time that he received a holy vision from Jet.
