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 29th March 1972. I offered to the Mother twelve copies of About Savitri Part One consisting of Book One, Canto 1. The Mother's message for the book was:
Savitri The supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo's vision
She gave me a copy and wrote on it:
To Huta with love and appreciation blessings
The Mother completed the recitations from the whole of Savitri corresponding to the Meditations on Savitri paintings towards the end of 1967.
Gradually I gave to Sunil copies of all the recordings of the Mother's recitations, so that he could compose the Savitri music, according to the Mother's wish. Sunil told me:
Huta, now I will have to read the whole of Savitri in order to understand the epic and then compose the music. According to the Divine's inspiration, you know, it was my aspiration to compose Savitri music. If you would not have recorded the Mother's recitations and given me the tapes I could not have composed the music. And your tape-recording is very nice—like a professional one.
I replied:
Sunil, I am honoured! You are very kind and appreciative. You see, everything is decided and arranged by the Supreme Lord. We are his instruments. I am fortunate and very happy to be one.
