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
The next morning a lovely card came from the Mother, depicting various coloured flowers—Gazania—"Seeking for clarity—likes to say clearly what has to be said." She had written on it:
25.11.57
To My dear little child Huta
In appreciation of her so excellent work and artistic taste.
With all my love, steady cheerfulness, quiet strength and sweet compassion
In the Bulletin February 1958, p. 114 all about this exhibition was recounted thus:
On the 24th November there was an exhibition of Indian Handicrafts at our Exhibition House and an interesting selection of various kinds of handicrafts in bone, ivory, brass, cloth, etc. was put on show. India is a land of handicrafts and there is a great wealth of material from which to choose. But a feature of this exhibition was the very tasteful manner in which the pieces were presented. Even simple articles like brass pots acquired an interesting look when placed in an artistic arrangement. This exhibition was very largely attended on all the days it was open.
The Mother appreciated my work at the exhibition. My memory flew back to the letter of the previous year in which she had written:
I am with you in your work which is quite successful.
It was true that without her Grace and Force nothing was and is possible.
The exhibition was now over. It took quite some time for me to rearrange everything in the Mother's Stores where I used to work.
