Dinanath Mangeshkar (Devanagari: दीनानाथ मंगेशकर) (December 29, 1900-April 24, 1942) was a well-known Marathi theatre actor, a renowned Natya Sangeet musician and an exceptional Hindustani classical vocalist. He was also popularly and reverentially addressed as Master Deenanath Mangeshkar. He is also the father of well-known singers Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and Usha Mangeshkar as well as composers Hridayanath Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar.
[edit] BackgroundDinanath Mangeshkar was born in the small village of Mangeshi in Goa, India. Ganesh Bhat-Nawathe and Yesubai Rane were his parents. Yesubai belonged to Devdasi tradition and was Ganesh Bhat's keep, so Dinanath was the son of a Karhade Brahmin, but he was not a Brahmin himself. Ganesh Bhat's legal family later changed the surname to Abhisheki because they were in-charge of pooja and abhishek at the local temple. Balabhau Abhisheki was the son of Ganesh-Bhat and his legal wife. Jitendra Abhisheki, Balabhau's son, also became a famous figure in music as composer and singer. Dinanath's children went on to become some of the most successful names in Indian music. While the singer's name begins with a deergha 'ee' ('Deenanath'), the prevalent spelling is 'Dinanath'. [edit] CareerDinanath Mangeshkar started taking singing and music lessons from Shri Baba Mashelkar at the tender age of five. He was also to become a disciple at Gwalior school. He joined the Kirloskar Sangeet Mandali and the Kirloskar Natak Mandali at the age of 11. Later, he left Kirloskar Mandali, and formed Balwant Mandali with his friends Chintamanrao Kolhatkar and Krishnarao Kolhapure. This new group had Gadkari's blessing, but shortly after the group was formed, Gadkari died in January 1919. Dinanath's good looks and melodious voice won him popularity on the Marathi theatre. So much so that the then giant of the Marathi stage, Bal Gandharva publicly declared that he would welcome the entry of Deenanath in his organization "by throwing a carpet of rupee coins under his feet". During the period of 1935, he produced 3 films, one of them being Krishnarjun Yuddha. It was made in both Hindi and Marathi, and a song from it, sung by and filmed on Dinanath, is available on YouTube. Dinanath also studied Indian classical music music under Ramkrishnabuwa Vaze). He also studied astrology. Partly out of his interest in astrology and numerology, he believed that dramas with 5 letters, with anuswar on the third letter, were lucky for him. Examples : Ranadundubhi, Raj-Sanyas, Desh-kantak. He was the first musician to openly defy the British Empire by performing and singing songs penned by Veer Savarkar in the presence of the British Viceroy, in Simla. [edit] Personal Life[edit] First MarriageDinanath's first wife was Narmada (later renamed "Shrimati" by her in-laws). She was the daughter of Seth Haridas Ramdas Lad - a prosperous businessman of the town of Thalner, Maharastra. Dinanath and Narmada were married in 1922. Dinanath changed his wife's name to 'Shrimati'. She was 19 at the time and Dinanath was 21. They had a daughter named Latika, who died in her infancy. Dinanath's wife died shortly after. [edit] Second MarriageDinanath's second wife was his first wife's sister. Her name was Shevanti. Some sources claim that Dinanath named his second wife 'Shrimati' as well. Some have her name as 'Shuddhamati'. The marriage of Dinanath and Shevanti was solemnised at a quiet ceremony within the house in 1927. Shevanti's mother chose not to attend.
Their first child was named Hridaya. But Dinanath called her Lata in memory of his deceased daughter. The name stuck and it is by that name that his legendary eldest daughter, Lata Mangeshkar, is known today. Shrimati was also called "Mai" at home. [edit] The SurnameDinanath was determined to take his first step in his professional life with a distinctive surname. So, he chose the last name Mangeshkar. The surname was derived from name of his family deity - Shri Mangesh (an avatar of Lord Shiva). [edit] DeathDinanath took to alcohol during the days of financial hardship in 1930s. After being ill for a few weeks, he died in Pune in April 1942. He was 41. His family has erected a hospital and research center in his name in Pune.
