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 24th August 1965 I read to the Mother the passages from Book Twelve—Epilogue. I did the final sketches on the canvas boards themselves. So far I had done them on papers for her approval.
These last sketches were a bit romantic and I was hesitating to show them to the Mother. Nevertheless, she appreciated them and approved all of them. She saw everything from the highest Consciousness, while we poor human beings see with our petty consciousness! In the true sense Satyavan and Savitri are the Divine and the Soul.
The Mother said on that day:
We shall have an exhibition of all the paintings of Savitri in 1967, and we shall have a certain kind of thin frame made just to separate these paintings. For these paintings are only illustrations. They must be prominent against the thin frames...
When I wrote to the Mother about polishing of the frames, she answered:
Polish is bad taste and not artistic
Once again the Mother wrote to me about the frames and their clips:
For the place of the clips at least one painting is necessary to have the exact thickness.
Some clips will be fitted to each frame to hold the paintings. No need of a carpenter, anybody a little careful can fix them in.
Love
I was absorbed in doing the last paintings of the last Book. The hostile forces played their last dreadful game by following me constantly like a shadow. Whenever there was a chink, they simply rushed into my consciousness and set everything topsy-turvy. When I was engrossed in my work, I was not affected by them. But in unconscious moments I was trapped. I had a doubt whether I could finish the paintings of Book Twelve—Epilogue. Hostile forces in some people tried desperately to prevent me from reaching the goal. I wrote to the Mother:
Why shouldn't Truth and Love reign upon earth? Why shouldn't human beings act under their influence in order to have peace and harmony? Surely You and the Lord can do something.
