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 early paintings which I did under the direct guidance of the Mother were hung in the Darshan Room where Sri Aurobindo and the Mother gave Darshan four times a year: 21st February, 15th August, 24th April and 24th November. On Saturday, 27th July 1957 the Mother called me along with two other artists, Jayantilal and Krishnalal. Then she herself selected 15 paintings which she wanted to exhibit on 15th August together with the paintings of other artists. The Mother explained to the artists how my paintings should be displayed, especially the three paintings (1) Buddha, (2) Kwannon—the Japanese Goddess of Mercy and (3) White Dahlia. She said:
These three paintings must be kept separately from the rest of the paintings and underneath them must be written: "These are meant for concentration."
