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
Once again the Mother wrote to me about the recorder:
25.3.63
Dear little child of mine,
The recorder is here waiting for you on the 29th.
I have received your letters—the strength and the peace are with you, to help through the difficult days.
All love
I was very happy.
We came to the last canto of Book One of Savitri, Canto 5. We did twenty paintings plus the painting of the jacket, which I did just for a study and the Mother found very interesting and chose for the cover.
I shall just try to give glimpses of what the Mother said about the paintings of Book One, Canto 5.
For picture one, actually I did two paintings of the same object—Wings because I was not satisfied with the first one. The Mother saw both of them and said:
I like both. The new one is full of vital power and force and the old one has a mental meaning. However, we shall have them both blocked and we must find out from the result which one is better, then we shall get it printed accordingly.
For picture two, the Mother said:
The painting is fullofoccultvisions. There are depicted here innumerable holes in several rows and each hole holds a roll of mysterious script; whenever I wish to solve the problems of the Universe, I just go to the actual place and pull certain rolls out and get the answers.
Picture three—here is the Mother's sketch of the roll.
When I asked the Mother what she had written on the roll, she never replied. What a pity!
For picture four, she wrote:
No human detail in the body of the golden child.
For picture six it was really very difficult.
I did several paintings of the different Realms—there were 13 realms of consciousness along with the earth. The Mother was not satisfied with the painting.
