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

The Blue Bird
According to the Mother the Blue Bird is:
The Bird of Happiness
The lights indicate the action of certain forces, usually indicated by the colour of the light. Whitish blue is known as Sri Aurobindo's light or sometimes Sri Krishna's light.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Colours
The fire indicates a dynamic action.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Sun, Moon, Star, Fire
I am the bird of God in His blue;....
I rise like a fire from the mortal's earth
Into a griefless sky
And drop in the suffering soil of his birth
Fire-seeds of ecstasy.

Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: The Blue Bird
=============
Divine Sacrifice is the descent of the Divine into the obscurity of the unconsciousness.
Sri Aurobindo
Sacrifice is the word used by the Gita for self-giving. The Divine has given himself and spread himself everywhere in matter in order to awaken it to the Divine Consciousness; matter is automatically under the obligation to give itself to the Divine; it is a mutual and reciprocal sacrifice.
The Mother, Questions and Answers (1956): 29 February 1956
Golden light is usually a light from the supermind, a light of Truth-Knowledge.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Colours
Blue light is some spiritual force from the upper plane.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: Light
