Panaji: It seems early in the early 1970s.
The Folklorist Vinayak Khedekar is the secretary of members of the Academy, and Dairanand ‘Bhausaheb’ bandodkar cm.
At the CM office, Bandodkar said something made a former surprise.
“He asked me how I managed to disappoint Lata Mangeshkar,” recalled Khedekar to the minister of chairman.
“I said Baaharb, you can ask him what happened.” The incident, said Khedekar, only helped to foster a lasting bond with a bird of Bulbul in India.
On Sunday, past Mangeshkar at the age of 92 was a very personal loss for some people in Goa, Khedekar between them.
“As a representative Kala Academy, I went to see him, and he said, ‘Goa has insulted my baba’.
I asked him how anyone in the present can be withdrawn for it,” Khedekar said.
‘Baba’ Mangeshkar is the music of Genius Dinanath, who left his native Manguesi in Ponda, Goa, the beginning of life.
Dinanath belongs to Gomantak Maratha Samaj, and the brilliance of the music regardless of, find himself on the outskirts because of his castle.
Lata born in Indore, his first child, remained greatly affected by this.
But even so, he put aside the luggage of history and never forget his Goan link.
The Mangeshkar family never missed their annual visit to Shree Manguesh Devasthan, until it was affordable with Siblat Mangeshkar, said Longtime Ponda Citizen Anup Priolkar.
In fact, Dinanath’s house in Mangueshi stands very close to the stairs leading to the temple, and the long relatives of staying there recently moved due to the construction of the temple hall.
The previous decade, when Goa was still not part of India, Mangeshkar appeared at a concert at Hirabaug, Pune, on May 2, 1954, to raise funds for revolutionary Goan from Azad Gomantak Dal against the Portuguese state to free the country.
“My father is from Goa and if he is from Goa, I am also a Goan,” he then told an interviewer.
“Veer Savarkar often visited our house, and he had written a drama for my father.
Maybe because of Savarkar, deep patriotism was implanted in the US.
Sudhir Phadke approached me and I agreed to appear at the concert to raise funds for the struggle for the freedom of Goa.
I don’t know how much a lot of money they imagine, should be a good amount.
But I’m glad I can do something for my country, for my father’s land, for Goa, and Goa is released.
“Mangeshkar then served as a member of the General Council for the Academy, even though because of his busy jadwood, He could not attend his meeting.
But after the first storm meeting, Mangeshkar and Khedekar developed a friendly relationship.
“In the following years, he would not hesitate to visit the government of my two-room government to eat, and we discussed the topic of his pig time in Goa several more times,” he said.
Also Goan is the favorite of Mangeshkar for fish, said Khedekar.
In 1996, five years before he was awarded Bharat Ratna, he visited Goa with Sisters Usha and Meena to put the foundation stone for Marathi Academy in Porvorim.
“He lived for three to four days at the Mandovi Hotel in Panaji, and never demanded.
However, Shashikant Narvestar from Gomantak Marathi Academy knew and made sure to provide delicious food homemade fish into Lata Didi’s room,” said Dileep Dharwadkar, who was then involved with the academy.
“He was more provided than his brother Usha and Meena during his visit in 1996, but we enjoyed only in front of him,” Dharwadkar said.
Mangeshkar’s last visit to Goa was believed to have become a show by Pravin Gaonkar musician.
It may be appropriate that his final exam with music in his home country is in the auditorium that bears his name.
