Huta's letter to The Mother in 1965 inspired the creation of Matrimandir; it was to Huta that The Mother first explained Her concept of Auroville's town-plan.

Huta had a strong connection with Auroville – a letter of hers to the Mother in 1965 inspired the creation of Matrimandir, the Mother’s Shrine; and it was to Huta that the Mother first explained, with sketches, her concept for the town-plan of Auroville. In 1966 Huta produced the painting which the Mother named ‘The Spirit of Auroville.’ All this is told in her books 'Matrimandir the Mother’s Truth and Love' and 'The Spirit of Auroville'.

Some people asked me to give the matter regarding the Matrimandir to be published in the Gazette Aurovilienne. So I wrote to Oscar, the editor. He answered on 1.5.74:

Dear Huta,

After receiving your last note I have come to the conclusion that your article should not appear in the Gazette Aurovilienne. I remind you:

1) That the Mother has said that the Gazette should be bilingual, that means French and English. She even refused to have two separate editions. She wanted French and English in one edition. (The original and the translation should even be side by side, as has been done in all the issues of the Gazette.)

2) That in reply to my question whether everybody could write for the Gazette or only persons approved by the Mother, she replied, "Nobody except the editors can write in the Gazette". I am sure that you agree that it is better to follow the Mother's instructions. If anybody among us had realised the Divine, here, in this world, in this body, it would of course not be necessary to cling so rigidly to Mother's past instructions...

Shyamsunder, with whom I have discussed the content of this letter, has said: If the Editor of the Gazette finds it difficult to publish Huta's article, he can publish it in Sri Aurobindo's Action, if Huta approves.

At the service of truth

Oscar
