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 10th March 1967 we started the new work—paintings inspired by poems of Sri Aurobindo. The Mother read with a magnifying glass a passage from 'Songs to Myrtilla' which I had typed in capital letters. Then I gave her a sketch book to show me a picture with a few strokes. She said with a smile:
Ah, but my child, I haven't done sketches for ages!
I pleaded:
Mother, please do only a few lines. I will be inspired.
The Mother went into a trance. On waking, she did a sketch and explained to me the colour-scheme.
