My Savitri work with the Mother

  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.

10 February 1967

The same day, the 10th, I went to the Mother for the work. At the last moment I did another big portrait of Savitri and showed it to the Mother that morning. The Mother liked it very much—especially the blue eyes of Savitri. She instructed me:

This painting must be kept in the last room—from where people will go out after seeing all the paintings.

Five rooms were packed with the paintings. In the sixth room this new portrait of Savitri was placed according to the Mother's wish.

The Mother said with a smile:

Child, now tell me all about the arrangements at the Exhibition Hall.

I gave her a full description. She was happy.

I also apprised her of the remarks of certain people who had been with me on the previous night: that they felt giddy to see all the paintings at a time and that the paintings were too crowded and too close to each other.

The Mother laughed softly and said:

Good, this is exactly what I wanted—people to feel the Force and feel giddy too.

Further she added with all her affection:

Child, you have done nice work—the exhibition is nice. Within 10 years, not only have you progressed outwardly but inwardly as well. You have achieved something. I am happy.

You can do beautiful things. Now everything will come to you naturally without any effort.

The Lord wants you to paint the creation of the New World.

Tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes. I could not say anything except:

Your Grace, Mother.

Then after a pause I said:

Mother, I am feeling very sorry—all the paintings are gone from my apartment.

I sobbed. The Mother said with all her compassion:

Keep a few paintings with you when all the paintings will go to Golconde in two rooms.

I said:

No, Mother, all must remain together in Golconde.

But the tears kept rolling down my checks. The Mother consoled me:

Child, the Lord wants you to do the new paintings—the New Creation.

As regards Golconde, after the Mother's note and her decision the Savitri paintings were to go there:

Yes—a place to keep Huta's paintings is very necessary. Blessings

That very night the Mother gave the following message for the Exhibition

The importance of Savitri is immense.

Its subject is universal. Its revelation is prophetic.

The time spent in its atmosphere is not wasted

Take all the time necessary to see this exhibition. It will be a happy compensation for the feverish haste men put now in all they do.

Also, she signed the following paper, for she never wanted photographs of the Savitri paintings to be taken and misused.

I wrote a letter to the Mother.

My sweet Mother,

It seemed impossible to finish the paintings of Savitri but you not only made it possible but done.

Now I only pray to you to make me reach my goal.

Love
