Ahmedabad, Dec 30: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Heeraben Modi passed away at the age of 100 – two days after she was admitted to Ahmedabad’s UN Mehta Hospital. “A glorious century rests at the feet of God,” wrote PM Modi on Twitter.
Sharing her picture, Prime Minister Modi said, “In Maa, I have always felt that trinity, which contains the journey of an ascetic, the symbol of a selfless Karmayogi and a life committed to values.”
He added, “When I met her on her 100th birthday, she said one thing – Always remember – Work with intelligence, live life with purity.”
शानदार शताब्दी का ईश्वर चरणों में विराम… मां में मैंने हमेशा उस त्रिमूर्ति की अनुभूति की है, जिसमें एक तपस्वी की यात्रा, निष्काम कर्मयोगी का प्रतीक और मूल्यों के प्रति प्रतिबद्ध जीवन समाहित रहा है। pic.twitter.com/yE5xwRogJi
