  The Mother : Contact   On Savitri

Huta

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.

21 September 1959

In my spontaneous letter dated 21st September 1959 I wrote to Mrs. Sarala Shah of Bombay:

"...During the summer I could not paint, although I have all the painting materials. As a matter of fact, this work needs a lot of time and concentration. But in my heart of hearts I know very well and feel sure that in the near future I shall have to spend several years in this vocation. For I will express the whole of Savitri through paintings."

My God, how could I write such a thing when I had not the vaguest idea as to what I would do in the future? Now I am really amazed! Who made me do so? Sri Aurobindo wrote in Savitri:

All was the working of an ancient plan,
A way prepared by an unerring Guide. ||99.14||
