New Delhi, Dec 30 (NationPress) Today marks the third death anniversary of Heeraben Modi, the cherished mother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who departed from this world in 2022 at the remarkable age of 99. A poignant account shared by the esteemed poet and lyricist Manoj Muntashir has resonated deeply with many across the nation.

In a heartfelt narrative unveiled on the "Modi Story" platform, Muntashir explored the profound connection between the Prime Minister and his mother, revealing a rare moment of vulnerability that even a leader of over a billion people could not evade.

He shared that following the loss of Heeraben, Prime Minister Modi wrote an emotional 17-page letter filled with love, appreciation, and treasured memories—a tribute so personal that it moved many to tears.

"The absence of a mother is an unparalleled loss," Muntashir observed. "All else in life can somehow be substituted, yet a mother is irreplaceable. Even the strongest sons falter in her absence, and Modi was no different. However, when the burden of a nation rests on one’s shoulders, even grief learns to find its composure."

According to Muntashir, Heeraben was much more than just a mother to the Prime Minister; she was his beacon of guidance, his quiet strength, and his very first teacher.

Each word in the letter, he noted, reflected the profound depths of a son’s love and the everlasting impact a mother has on her child’s spirit.

Having the privilege to record the letter in his voice, Muntashir revealed that the emotional weight of the task overwhelmed him. "I thought it would take just a few moments," he confessed, "but the tenderness in those words made me pause frequently. My voice broke, tears fell repeatedly, and I had to stop the recording for half an hour several times. It felt like I had lost my own mother."

With a trembling voice, Muntashir acknowledged the sanctity of this mother-son relationship, expressing sorrow at any attempts to undermine its purity.

Through this letter, he pointed out, the world not only witnesses a grieving son’s affection but also the quiet, selfless impact that Heeraben had in shaping the values and resilience of India’s Prime Minister.

As tributes flow in from all corners of the nation today, this letter remains a timeless testament to a love that transcends power, status, and the passage of time—a gentle reminder that behind every influential leader lies the heart of a devoted son.
