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
It was Monday, 29th March 1967. I read to the Mother some passages from Collected Poems. She asked me to reject three passages and do paintings of the rest. I prayed to her to show me through her sketches what to do about these pictures. She said while touching her forehead:
I am blank. I do not see any pictures. Do them with the inspiration which I am giving you.
I said with disappointment:
Oh! if you can't, how can I do them?
She spoke with a soft laughter, nodding her head:
I know that you can do them. Simply sit in front of the boards and the inspiration will come.
Then she caressed my hands and looked deeply into my eyes with her luminous and smiling gaze.
I did the paintings according to her inspiration and instructions. In fact, from time to time she corrected my paintings and never forgot to explain to me in detail the colour-scheme.
