The shared a special bond
As the nation mourns the passing away of Heeraba Modi, we take a look at the mother-son bond that they shared.
Heeraba Modi was born on June 18, 1923. PM Modi visited her at her residence in Gandhinagar on her 100th birthday this year. He sought her blessings and washed her feet.
Later in a dedicated blog, PM wrote, “A mother not only gives birth to her children, but also shapes their mind, their personality, and their self-confidence. And while doing so, mothers selflessly sacrifice their own personal needs and aspirations.”
“I have no doubt that everything good in my life, and all that is good in my character, can be attributed to my parents. Today, as I sit in Delhi, I am filled with memories from the past.”
PM Modi never missed a chance to visit mother
Heeraba lived with PM Modi’s younger brother Pankaj Modi in Raysan village near Gandhinagar city. The prime minister never missed a chance to visit Raysan to be with his mother during most of his Gujarat visits.
Whenever PM Modi visited her, Heeraba offered him sweets with her own hands.
“Just like a young child’s doting mother, she would take out a napkin and wipes my face once I finish eating. She always has a napkin or small towel tucked into her saree,” the prime minister had mentioned in his blog post.
On Heeraba’s 100the birthday, PM Modi also recalled how Heeraba Modi blessed him when he left home.
A mother’s blessings
“Before leaving, Mother fed me curd and jaggery, for an auspicious new beginning,” the prime minister wrote, adding that her blessings were the only constant that remained with him irrespective of where he was and how he was.
“I don’t get to meet her as often as I used to earlier. However, I have never felt any discontent from Mother over my absence. Her love and affection remain the same; her blessings remain the same. Mother often asks me: Are you happy in Delhi? Do you like it?” PM Modi had mentioned in his blog.
