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
I tried to open my eyes heavy with sleep, but eventually they closed firmly.
To my relief the rain ceased at the soft sunrise. The grey clouds dispersed with the first glimmer of light—with that the feeling of desolation was gone. I soaked myself in a scented hot bath, emerged refreshed, dressed leisurely, and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Then I peeped into the pigeon-hole marked H where all my post used to be kept. To my sheer joy I found a thick envelope from the Mother. I took it and rushed to my room, opened it and saw a folder—in front there was the reproduction of a sketch "Ascent to the Truth" done by her, inside on the right her own photograph in which she was clad in a sari. Her words on the left were:
To My dear little child Huta Special blessings during these days of Puja. With love
The Mother sent beforehand four messages which she was to distribute to people in the Ashram. Each of them brought me inner peace and happiness. I would like to quote them all, because they were exalting. The first was for the Durga A sthami:
The seed of Godhead sleeps in mortal hearts, The flower of Godhead grows on the world-tree: All shall discover God in self and things, But when God's messenger comes to help the world And lead the soul of earth to higher things, He too must carry the yoke he came to unloose; He too must bear the pang that he would heal; Exempt and unafflicted by earth's fate How shall he cure the ills he never felt? ||108.43||
The next was for Vijaya Dashami:
Misery shall pass abolished from the earth; The world shall be freed from the anger of the Beast, From the cruelty of the Titan and his pain. ||122.43|| There shall be peace and joy for ever more. ||122.44||
The following was for the Mahalakshmi Puja:
Thou shalt be one with God's bare reality And the miraculous world he has become And the diviner miracle still to be When Nature who is now unconscious God Translucent grows to the Eternal 's light, Her seeing his sight, her walk his steps of power And life is filled with a spiritual joy And Matter is the Spirit's willing bride. ||128.48||
