Pictures of Sri Aurobindo's poems
50+ paintings by Huta, inspired by Sri Aurobindo's poems
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

Revelation
Someone leaping from the rocks
Past me ran with wind-blown locks
Like a startled bright surmise
Visible to mortal eyes, -
Just a cheek of frightened rose
That with sudden beauty glows,
Just a footstep like the wind
And a hurried glance behind,
And then nothing, - as a thought
Escapes the mind ere it is caught.
Someone of the heavenly rout
From behind the veil ran out.
Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: Revelation
=============
Sri Aurobindo's view about the Sun:
Inner Truth.
There are different suns in the different planes each with its own colours.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Sun, Moon, Star, Fire
The red sun is a symbol of the true, illumined physical consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Sun, Moon, Star, Fire
The sun is the symbol of the concentrated light of Truth.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Sun, Moon, Star, Fire
The sun indicates Truth directly perceived in whatever plane it may be.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Sun, Moon, Star, Fire
My truth is one that rejects ignorance and falsehood and moves to the knowledge, rejects darkness and moves to the light, rejects egoism and moves to the Divine Self, rejects imperfections and moves to perfections. My truth is not only the truth of Bhakti or of psychic development but also of knowledge, purity, divine strength and calm and of the raising of all these things from their mental, emotional and vital forms to their supramental reality.
Sri Aurobindo, Autobiographical Notes and Other Writings of Historical Interest: To Krishnashashi
The Truth manifesting on all the planes is one thing, the Supramental is another, although it is the source of all Truth.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Experiences on the Higher Planes
