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 18th December I showed the Mother the paintings of Book Five, Cantos 1 and 2. She remarked when she saw the painting of Satyavan:
Child, here you have shown the waist-line of Satyavan looking like that of a man of 50—thick and round. You must paint the waist-line with slender hips, and give Satyavan broad shoulders. Then the whole structure will be symmetrical.
When I showed the painting to the Mother, I thought it was awful. Once again I broached the subject regarding the dhoti. She said firmly:
Ah, no, I prefer trousers here. It is better if you change the colour of the trousers to pale greyish-blue instead of brown. Then they will look nice.
Here too some people criticised when they saw the exhibition of Savitri paintings. The Mother once remarked that people did not see beyond their noses. She always reiterated:
All these paintings are paintings of tomorrow—future paintings.
