Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's beloved mother Heeraben Modi passed away at the age of 100 in a hospital in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Posting a tweet about her sad passing, Prime Minister Modi wrote: "A glorious century rests at the feet of God. 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."
PM Modi recalled his visit on her hundredth birthday earlier this year saying, "When I met her on her hundredth birthday, she said one thing which is, always remember work with intelligence and live life with purity.
