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 14th of August 1965 the Mother saw me. Once again I expressed my wish to learn sculpture. She disagreed:
No, it will spoil your hands—it has to do with a material thing—clay. It is better for you not to touch it.
I said:
All right, Mother. But then what should I do after I have finished the paintings of the whole of Savitri?
She answered sweetly:
The new work of Savitri is being prepared for you.
I wanted to learn more music both vocal and instrumental, for I had passed my advanced examinations in both many years back in Rajkot. My physical mother was anxious that my younger sister and I should learn music, Hindi and Sanskrit. I was doing my Senior Cambridge in East Africa. I had to give up my studies there and come to India to learn about Indian culture. I passed my Matriculation exam in Rajkot and joined a college for several months. Then back to Africa. From there I travelled to England and the Continent in 1952.
I expressed my wish to learn music. The Mother said:
No, my child, pay exclusive attention to Savitri.
