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 8th January 1965 the Mother and I completed Book Five, The Book of Love.
So far the Mother used to read the typed script with a magnifying glass. Now, from 8th January 1965 onwards she made me read the verses from Savitri—the chosen passages for the paintings. She taught me how to recite them correctly. She said:
When you read the passages with perfect understanding and with clear mind I enter your consciousness and grasp the correct visions and then explain to you the paintings. When you understand the truth of the matter within yourself then it is very easy for me to make you understand the sketches of the paintings. So recite clearly, distinctly and slowly.
I tried my best to read the script with full understanding and with conscious attention. I also tried not to let my mind wander while reading the passages before her.
That day the Mother did some sketches of Book Six, The Book of Fate, Canto 1. The next day I sent her the sketches on canvas boards as usual. She wrote:
The sketches are very nice—quite successful.
