The Mother : Contact Painting
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

MYRTILLA: Here the name of a girl. But usually it denotes the Goddess of Love - Aphrodite.
MYRTLE: An evergreen shrub (Myrtus) with beautiful and fragrant leaves.
Songs to Myrtilla
When earth is full of whispers, when No daily voice is heard of men, But higher audience brings The footsteps of invisible things, When o'er the glimmering tree-tops bowed The night is leaning on a luminous cloud, And always a melodious breeze Sings secret in the weird and charmed trees, Pleasant 'tis then heart-overawed to lie Alone with that clear moonlight and that listening sky.
