<br />
==Career==<br />
Hridaynath debuted his music career in 1955 with the [[Marathi language|Marathi]] film ''Akash Ganga''. Since then, he has composed for various Marathi films such as ''[[Sansar (1971 film)|Sansar]], [[Chaani]], Ha Khel Savalyancha, Janaki, [[Jait Re Jait]], [[Umbartha]]'' and ''Nivdung'' and a few [[Bollywood]] films; the most notable among them being ''[[Subah]]'', ''[[Lekin...]]'' and ''[[Maya Memsaab]]''.<ref name="Padma"/><br />
<br />
He has been very selective with his work. He has composed songs in [[Marathi language|Marathi]] and [[Hindi]]. His songs often have complex meters and require singers of great range and depth for enjoyable renditions. His composition of [[Vinayak Damodar Savarkar]]'s poem ''[[Saagara Pran Talamalala]]'' is a case in point. His 1982 album ''Dnyaneshwar Mauli'', featuring compositions from [[Jñāneśvar]], one of the most famous poets in [[Marathi literature]], set the standard for modern devotional music in Marathi.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}<br />
<br />
He also composed music for Doordarshan musical drama ''[[Phoolwanti (TV Series)|Phoolwanti]]''.<br />
<br />
He has also composed folk songs. Staying true to the spirit, his ''Koli Geets'' (fishermen songs) reflect the traditional rhythms of the fishermen of [[Konkan]]. His music to the critically acclaimed movie ''[[Jait Re Jait]]'' is another example of his prowess in this genre. One of his most popular works is the composition for the Marathi film ''[[Nivdung]]''.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}<br />
<br />
At one point, Hridaynath was a student of [[Amir Khan (singer)|Ustad Amir Khan]]; however, he feels that his guru is not as timeless as his sister Lata.<ref>[http://www.themusicmagazine.com/meerasoorkabeera.html Sibling revelry with three bhakti poets]</ref><br />
<br />
He has been the recipient of several awards throughout his career, such as the prestigious [[National Film Awards|National Award]] at the hands of the [[President of India]], the [[List of awards received by Lata Mangeshkar#Lata Mangeshkar Award|Lata Mangeshkar Award]] of Maharashtra state, and seven Maharashtra State Awards for Best Vocalist and Music Director/Composer.<br />
<br />
He was awarded the title [[pandit]] by the people of Maharashtra at the hands of [[Bhimsen Joshi]] and [[Jasraj]]. The [[Shankaracharya]] has conferred upon him the title ''Bhaav Gandharva''.<br />
<br />
He was awarded [[Padma Shri]] by the [[Government of India]] in 2009.<br />
<br />
Some of his most memorable Hindi film scores are ''Harishchandra Taramati'', ''Prarthana'', ''[[Chakra]]'', ''[[Lekin...]]'', ''[[Maya Memsaab]]'', ''[[Lal Salam (1990 film)|Lal Salaam]]'', [[Yash Chopra]]'s ''[[Mashaal]]'', ''[[Dhanwan (1981 film)|Dhanwan]]'' and ''[[Chaani]]'', to name a few.<br />
<br />
He is also the first Indian composer to compose and release two entire albums featuring the poems and songs of the poet-saint [[Meera]], titled ''Chala Vahi Des'' and ''Meera Bhajans''. He has recently also composed and released an album titled ''Meera Soor Kabeera'', featuring the works of Meera, [[Kabir]] and [[Surdas]]. He produced an album featuring the [[ghazal]]s of [[Ghalib]], titled ''Ghalib'' and sung by [[Lata Mangeshkar]]. His collaborations with noted Marathi poets such as Shanta Shelke and Suresh Bhat have produced many Marathi classic songs of unmatched popularity.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/The-Gen-Y-Mangeshkar/etarticleshow/4600493.cms?referral=PM|title=The Gen y Mangeshkar - Times of India}}</ref><br />
