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 Dream Boat
Who was it that came to me in a boat made of dream-fire
With his flame brow and his sun-gold body?
Melted was the silence into a sweet secret murmur,
"Do you come now? is the heart's fire ready?"
1942
Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: The Dream Boat
=============
हंसः शुचिषद् वसुरन्तरिक्षसद्धोता वेदिषदतिथिर्दुरोणसत् ।
नृषद्वरसदृतसद् वयोमसदब्जा गोजा ऋतजा अद्रिजा ऋतं बृहत्
Lo, the Swan whose dwelling is in the purity, He is the Vasu in the inter-regions, the Sacrificer at the altar, the Guest in the vessel of the drinking: He is in man and in the Great Ones and His home is in the law, and His dwelling is in the firmament: He is all that is born on the mountains. He is the Truth and He is the Mighty One.
Sri Aurobindo, Kena and Other Upanishads: The Katha Upanishad of the Black Yajurveda
Swan: Indian symbol of the individual soul, the central being, the divine part which is turned towards the Divine, descending from there and ascending to it.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: The Animal World
Swan is the symbol of the soul on the higher plane.
Swan is the liberated soul.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: The Animal World
The silent Consciousness in which the soul is liberated from the universe. Beyond this there is the Divine who fulfils the universe with a new spiritual creation.
Sri Aurobindo
