In March 1967 Huta began the work of expressing some of Sri Aurobindo's poems through paintings. Under the Mother's inspiration and guidance she selected certain verses from the poems and completed fifty-four paintings, which were all shown to the Mother in September of that year. This new book presents these paintings along with the lines which inspired them from some of Sri Aurobindo's most well-known poems

I am the lord of tempest and mountain,
   I am the Spirit of freedom and pride.
Stark must he be and a kinsman to danger
   Who shares my kingdom and walks at my side.

Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: Invitation


=============




1908-9 (Ali pore Jail)


When I suggested to the Mother that we could paint a luminous figure of the Lord for the passage from Who she agreed. But when she saw the painting on the 6th April 1967, she said with a touch of irony:

"Child, don't you think it is more like a man than the Lord? This figure should be rather like Him."

Then the Mother gave the meaning to this picture:

"What man must become."
