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
She then wrote on 17th May 1963,
What we are doing is only symbolic and must be very simple. The sample painting you had sent was good that way. Only some colours were not quite accurate! The Mind—(first blue) is too dark—it must be like the bright blue we adopted for the earth, otherwise it is all right.
Also, I sent the picture of a silver river from a book and asked her whether that was the colour of the silver Realm—number ten. She wrote:
No—these colours are truly light and can be compared to nothing physical.
I wrote to her that to mix various colours and to get the right effect was rather difficult. She answered:
This is why it is difficult but to help, I have pinned some bits of cloths that shine and looked at on their shining side, they can help you to find the right colour.
On her sketch itself the Mother pinned the bits of various colours of shining cloths, so that I might understand. But the Mother said:
How can I explain the colours which I see in my vision and which were not upon this earth?
