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
For some time the Mother was not keeping well. She came down from her apartment on 9th December—Sri Aurobindo's mahasamadhi day—to contemplate at the Samadhi. The same night she had an acute attack of Herpes Zoster, which was extremely painful. The next day she was in bed, not seeing anybody except her attendants. That was the day of my departure for Africa with my father. I felt very sad. The gold locket which the Mother had wanted to give me personally, she sent through Dyuman. I went to Doctor Sanyal—the Mother's doctor—and expressed my deep shock and anxiety. I gave him a bottle of perfume for the Mother, Worth's ‘Je Reviens', and a flower of Victory—her victory in me. The name of the scent was also significant: `Je Reviens' means "I am coming back." As he took them from me the doctor said:
In spite of severe pain, the Mother remembered you and said to me: "Huta is going today."
He added:
She will soon be all right. I wish you a happy journey and success.
The Mother had asked me to go first to East Africa to get a British Passport, for that would be more helpful. I had also to sign certain papers connected with it.
