An account of Huta's sadhana & the grace showered on her by The Mother - especially how Mother prepared her for painting the series: 'Meditations on Savitri'.
The Mother : Contact On Savitri
This book tells the story of how Huta came to the Ashram and began her work with the Mother. It presents a detailed account of how the Mother prepared and encouraged her to learn painting and helped her to create two series of paintings: the 472 pictures comprising Meditations on Savitri and the 116 pictures that accompanied the Mother's comments titled About Savitri. During their meetings, where the Mother revealed her visions for each painting by drawing sketches and explaining which colours should be used, the unique importance of Savitri and the Mother's own experiences connected to the poem come clearly into view. The book is also a representation of Huta's sadhana, her struggles and her progress, and the solicitude and grace showered on her by the Mother.
THEME/S
On the 5th a folder arrived from the Mother. There was a picture of Mahasaraswati on the right side—beneath it, the Mother had written:
To my dear child Huta With blessings
On the left I read a message from Sri Aurobindo in Sanskrit reproduced in his own handwriting:
(Tat savitur varam rūpam jyotiḥ parasya dhīmahi, yannaḥ satyena dīpayet)
Let us meditate on the most auspicious (best) form of Savitri, on the Light of the Supreme which shall illumine us with the Truth.
This is Sri Aurobindo's own "Gayatri" modifying the traditional Gayatri of the Rigveda to express the new realisation of his Integral Yoga of Supermind or Divine Truth-Consciousness. His comment on the Gayatri is:
The power of Gayatri is the Light of the Divine Truth. It is a mantra of Knowledge. The Gayatri mantra is the mantra for bringing the Light of Truth into all the planes of the being.
I came across these lines in Mother India—Monthly Review of Culture:
The most sacred Mantra of the Rigveda (111.62.10), the Gayatri of Rishi Vishvamitra directs us to the Solar Godhead of Truth—Surya-Savitri.
