2 Modalakallu Shri Shesha Dasaru was a great Haridasa and an aparoksha GynAni. He is an amsha-sambhuta of Arjuna which he himself proclaimed in many of his suladi-s. He was born in year 1810 A.D. in Darur village (the abode of Shri Parthasarathy) of Gadwal Taluk in Andhra Pradesh. Before becoming a Haridasa, Sheshappa was doing Kulkarni job that had come to him from his forefathers. On one occasion, due to a petty reason, he gets insulted by the Queen of Gadwal in front of everyone and a very deeply hurt Seshappa decides to end his life at Chintraveli by putting his hand inside an ant hill expecting some snake to bite him. To his astonishment, he found a beautiful vigraha of Shri MukhyaPraNa which he later identified as a vigraha consecrated by Great Shri Vyasa Teertha. He performed deep penance there and on the 48 th day Shri MukhyaPraNa directed him to Shri Bhrugvamsha Sambhuta Vijaya Dasa of Chippagiri. At Chippagiri, Seshappa dedicated himself at the lotus feet of Shri Vijaya Dasa and finally got bestowed with ankita nama Shri Guru Vijaya Vittala by Shri Vijaya Dasa. Since then, Sheshappa came to be known as Shri Shesha Dasaru or Shri Guru Vijaya Dasaru. After that, he made Adi-shila Kshetra (Modalakallu) as his Karya Kshetra. He wrote many songs, ugabhoga-s, sulaadi-s. A notable song of Shri Shesha Dasaru on Shri Mukhya PraNa is Nambide Ninna Paada Guru MukhyaPraNa.. Shri Shesha Dasaru installed the idol of Shri Parthasarathy at Darur, his birth place, in the year 1885 on Yugaadi of Shri Parthiva Samvatsara. The same year, on Vaishakha Shuddha Ashtami, he left his mortal body and reached the abode of Shri Hari. Shri Arya Akhobhya MaThAdheesha Shri Shri 1008 Shri Raghudaanta Teertharu (Ashrama Guruji of Shri Shri 1008 Shri Raghuprema Teertharu of Adoni - wrote an AshTaka in Sanskrit in his poorvashrama on Shri Shesha Dasaru as per the instructions of Shri Raghavendra Swamiji conveyed through Shri Bheemacharyaru & his Vidya Guru Shri Yelameli Vittalacharyaru. For the benefit of saadhaka-s, Shri Raghudaanta Teertharu himself wrote the Kannada translation of his own work. This small booklet provides significant details of the lifetime of Shri Shesha Dasaru. With a noble task of spreading the saahitya of Shri Shesha Dasaru across the length & breadth of Karnataka & other southern states, Keerti-Shesha Shri Guru Madhwa Rao Uppali, popularly known as Sulaadi Taatavaru started the ArAdhana celebrations of Shri Shesha Dasaru in Raichur at his residence Guru Vijaya Dasaashrama in the year 1996 under the banner Shri Shesha Dasara ArAdhana Seva Sangha. Having performed the ArAdhana at Raichur itself for next couple of years, he decided to take it other parts of Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh thus performing ArAdhana at Kenchenagudda (1999), Bangalore (2000), Maadinooru, Malakheda, Udupi, Mantralaya, Modalakallu, Nanjanagudu, Tirupati, Pandharapura, Sriranga, Chippagiri (2010). The ArAdhana celebrations got further support with the involvement of Poojya Shri Kaashi Hanumantha Dasaru, an antaranga sadhaka.
