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
On 29th November 1965 I showed the Mother the paintings of Books Five and Six which I had retouched and redone. She said:
There are feelings in them.
The Mother added:
If you feel strongly and if you think that the other paintings can be retouched and repainted nicely, then do so by all means.
The Mother knew my urge for perfection in doing things.
Throughout the whole year of 1966 the Mother asked me to retouch and repaint many of the Savitri paintings according to her instructions. I told the Mother:
When I have finished re-touching and re-doing the Savitri paintings according to your guidance, I shall have no work.
She smiled and affirmed:
You see, you will have so many things to do. Only idle people can say they have no work!
It was a great joy for me to know all about Auroville and the Mother's Shrine (such was the name of the Matrimandir then) from the Mother. She wrote to me several letters in this regard. Much later I published a book—The Spirit of Auroville—written by me.

My dearest little child Huta
With your Rs. 500 of today I have started a purse on which is written: "Huta Auroville." So, little by little the money will collect.
In your yesterday's letter you spoke of a dream of your childhood "the most beautiful spot of the world". This was also a dream of my own childhood. So our dreams have met for realisation.
Now it is only to be worked out. When we know how to wait, we put Time on our side.
