  The Mother : Contact   On Savitri

Huta
Huta

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.

06 December 1964

I went to the Mother on 6th December. The Mother explained to me some more paintings of Book Five—The Book of Love, Canto 2. I asked her:

Mother, how am Ito show Satyavan? What type of clothes should he wear?

The Mother said:

He must wear tight trousers—narrow from the hips to the ankles, and they can be painted dark brown.

My eyebrows went up while I said:

But, Mother, tight trousers are modem. In ancient times they did not wear pipe trousers, I believe. What about a dhoti?

She said:

Why, the trousers are perfectly all right. I do not like a dhoti here, because it is modern.

Then by means of a sketch she showed me a figure with trousers on it. I still tried to tell her about the dhoti but she sweetly cut me short.
