Champaklal Speaks : 'It is the Ramayana of my life'. 'My life is Sri Aurobindo & the Mother only. To write down their sweet memories is Champaklal's worship'
1934-02-02
I had written to Mother that on the day before my birthday I would leave colours and paper beside her couch and prayed that she draw something for me in the time she set aside for meditation with me. In those days Mother used to give time to sadhaks to meditate with her on their birthdays.
Today, when I went to her, she said that she would make a sketch of her foot placed on my head. I bowed my head and she placed her foot on it. Then she made a sketch and gave it to me.
Later, when the lines faded I showed it to her. Mother placed her foot again on my head and drew it again. Then she wrote, “Blessings” and signed it.1
Many years later, when Huta asked Mother for a picture of her feet. Mother was not in a condition to draw it. But as she rarely refused any request of Huta's, she was wondering what to do. I told her that she could get the sketch she had given me photographed, leaving my name out and give it to Huta. Mother was very happy with my suggestion. She got a photograph made through Bansidhar, wrote Huta's name and “Blessings” on it and gave it to Huta.
