Whenever there is talk of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his fitness is also discussed. Since being the Chief Minister of Gujarat, his fitness has been discussed not only in the country but also abroad. Actually, fitness has been a tradition of the Modi family. Today is the birthday of Prime Minister Modi’s mother Hiraba. Today he has entered his 100th year of life.
Like Modi, Hiraba’s excellent health is always talked about. The fitness and health of any disease-free Hiraba even at the age of 100 is something to be learned from the youth. On this occasion, Bhaskar spoke to Prime Minister Modi’s brother Prahlad Modi and learned the secret of Hiraba’s health.
don’t take any kind of medicine
In a conversation with Bhaskar, Prahlad Modi said – ‘Heraba’s hard work as well as her good and positive thoughts have kept her healthy even at this age. She has neither taken any kind of medicine in the past nor does she take it now. She takes home remedies for any problem.
never ate outside food
Prahlad further said- In today’s time even older people will be seen taking chatter on panipuri-chaat stalls, but as far as I remember our mother did not take any outside food till date. Food is a far cry, they don’t even take breakfast outside. From morning till night, she is busy in some work or the other.
Prahlad says- When we were in Vadnagar there was only one well for all the people. This well was located behind the Amthar Mata Temple near Thakor Farm Amarkot Gate. It was called Padhedi’s well. Our mother goddess used to draw water from the well at least twice a day and bring it home. The depth of that well was also more than 15 feet.
do all her work herself
Continuing the conversation, Prahlad says – Due to continuous hard work and living a simple life, his health is better than we children today. From morning till night, she does all her work herself. He has always lived a simple life. It is their culture given to us that fashion has no place in our families. I do not remember that anyone must have gone to the beauty parlor for makeup. His simple life has an impact in our lives as well. All of us brothers also lead a simple life. We all make a living by working hard.
Stable because of regularity and religious disposition
Prahlad Bhai says – Mother Shri has a religious nature and even today worship is at the top of her daily routine. She comes out of the room only after lunch. Take a walk and sit on the swing. To commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of Hiraba, a musical evening has been organized in Vadnagar, in which our family will be present.
Navchandi Yagya at Vadnagar for Hiraba’s good health
In honor of Hiraba entering 100th year, Navchandi Yagya has been organized in Prime Minister Modi’s hometown Vadnagar. After the completion of the yagya, the family has also arranged a feast for more than seven thousand children of Vadnagar and surrounding villages.
