India / PM Modi told how his mother Heeraben also brought up Abbas

New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written a blog on his mother's 100th birthday. In which he has remembered the memorable moments when he was a child. PM Modi has thanked his mother Heeraben for telling his family the importance of finding their happiness in the happiness of other people. The PM told how after the death of his father's friend, his son came to his house and stayed with him.

PM Modi said in a blog written on his official website, 'Mother used to find her happiness in the happiness of others. Our house was small, but he had a big heart. My father's close friends lived in a nearby village. After his untimely death, his father had brought his son Abbas to our house. He stayed with us and completed his studies.

The PM further said, 'Mother was as affectionate and caring for Abbas as she used to treat all of us brothers and sisters. Every year on the occasion of Eid, she used to cook food of her choice. On festivals, it was common for neighborhood children to come to our house and enjoy the special preparations made by the mother. Whenever a sadhu came to our neighbourhood, the mother would politely invite him to our house for a meal.

On the mother's 100th birthday, the PM went to Gandhinagar and met her and took her blessings. Praising the mother, the PM wrote, 'In keeping with her selfless nature, she used to request sadhus to bless us children instead of asking for anything for themselves. She urged them, 'Bless my children, that they may rejoice in the happiness of others and be sympathetic to their misery. Let them have devotion and service.

In the pictures that have surfaced of PM meeting his mother, he can be seen taking blessings, feeding prasad and washing mother's feet. Let us tell you that Modi took oath as the Prime Minister in 2014. In October 2017, he visited his hometown Vadnagar for the first time after becoming the PM. This is the same city in East Gujarat where PM Modi used to help sell his father's tea as a child at a railway station. This dilapidated tea shop has been renovated. The railway station has also been beautified.
