A FRUITFUL LIFE EMBODYING BHARATIYA MOTHERHOOD

ENDLESS TRIBUTES WERE PAID TO THE DEPARTED SOUL, A STALWART WHO LED A 100 FULL YEARS OF IMPECCABLE LIFE, CONTINUING THE DIVINE MATERNAL LEGACY OF OUR CIVILISATION. SHE WAS AN ASCETIC IN THE TRUE SENSE AND FABRICATED HER SON'S IDEAL ALTRUISTIC PERSONALITY. MAY THIS HOLY PROGENY OF BHARATIYA MOTHERHOOD BECOME ETERNAL

In Happier Times: PM Narendra Modi with his mother Heeraben in the lap of nature

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother, Heeraben Modi (100) passed away peacefully in her sleep recently, after living a virtuous life of 100 worthwhile years, filled with penance, sacrifice and noble values of Bharat. She was simple and humble, despite being omnipotent. A unique confluence of firmness, discipline and affection, she lived a prototypical valuable life, embodying all the ideals. If a nation is built by individuals, it is the mother who builds those capable individuals. In our culture, a mother is not a mere institution of accouchement, but a divine sculpting base of an individual. The number of great personalities this civilisation would have seen be negligible, if it had the paucity of great mothers like Chaneshwari, Aryaamba, Jeeja Bai, Bhuvaneshwari Devi and many more. Hiraben too joins this matriarchal lineage. Narendra Modi's exemplary life is a reflection of his mother's life. Similarly, Heeraba's life reflects the essence of Bharatiya motherhood, which has nurtured our civilisation for millennials.
