Heeraben, known as Heeraba, used to reside with PM Modi‘s younger brother Pankaj Modi in the Raysan hamlet outside Gandhinagar. During most of his trips to Gujarat, the prime minister frequently stopped by Raysan to spend time with her.
Despite her advanced age, PM Modi’s mother cast a ballot in the Gujarat Assembly Elections. Pankaj Modi escorted her as she made her way in a wheelchair to the polling place in the Raysan hamlet near Gandhinagar.
The centenarian has five additional offspring besides PM Modi. Heeraben Modi, who later married PM Modi’s father Damodardas Mulchand Modi, was born in Palanpur but later relocated to Vadnagar.
PM Modi’s Tweet
Heeraben Modi, the mother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, passed away on Friday at 100 following a brief hospitalization in Ahmedabad. The Prime Minister released an emotional tweet informing people of her passing “God’s feet are under a magnificent century… Maa has always had a special meaning for me because she embodies the trinity of an ascetic’s journey, the Karmayogi’s symbol of selfless service, and a life dedicated to moral principles.”
Additionally, PM Modi recalled something his mother told him when he visited her this year for her 100th birthday. “Work with intelligence and live a pure life, that is, work with intelligence and live a pure life, was one of the things she told me when we first met on her 100th birthday,” PM Modi tweeted.
Heeraben’s Health Condition
The “Dharmayatra Mahasangh” in Vadodara, Gujarat, performed prayers at the temple and recited the “Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra” for Heeraben’s “well health” on Thursday following her hospitalization.
Additionally, prayers for her quick recovery were offered by the committee of the Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand.
Heeraben was “recovering rapidly” as of yesterday and was expected to be released soon, according to the Gujarat Chief Minister’s Office (CMO). However, Heeraben was admitted to the UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Centre in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
Pankaj Modi, the younger brother of Modi, and Hiraben, also known as Hiraba, resided in the Raysan rural area close to Gandhinagar. During his trips to Gujarat, the Prime Minister would stop by Raysan and spend time with his mother.
PM Modi has already left for Ahmedabad but will launch several development projects in West Bengal as planned, including the Vande Bharat train, which will depart from Howrah in Kolkata. This will likely be done via video conference. Also, attending the National Ganga Council meeting would be. From political figures, condolences have been flooding in.
