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 20th January 1965 I sent more sketches of Book Six, Canto 1. She wrote:
The sketches are quite good.
I have only suggested a change for the revelation of Savitri, to make it more impressive...
No precision of form of the Supreme Mother. Just a mass of Light with a faint outline.
When Book Six, The Book of Fate, was in progress, I did the painting of Savitri's mother. I did not cover her head with the sari, so she lacked the appearance of royalty. The Mother asked me to cover her head. I said:
As I have painted the first picture of her without any covering, how will it look in other pictures if I cover her head?
The Mother smiled and said:
Why, but she can always cover her head when the sari slips from her head In the first picture the sari had slipped and in another picture she pulled it up!
I savoured her sense of humour.
The Mother was very particular about covering. One day I remember, while I was working my sari got disarranged. She arranged it and advised:
Child, you should always cover yourself properly.
