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.
The Mother : Contact Auroville
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'.
THEME/S
On 1st September 1965 I showed the Mother some Japanese books, which she liked so much. In one of the books there was a picture of the Golden Temple at Kyoto. Pointing to it, she said enthusiastically:
Child, this is exactly what we shall have at the Centre, except for the shape of the roof—it must be a terrace and a dome; but the surroundings will be the same—lake, flowers, trees, rockeries, small waterfalls and so on.
Gardening is a wonderful thing—especially in Japan.
Long before, on 27.3.1957, in the morning the Mother had sent me an attractive card of the Golden Temple at Kyoto. The ethereal scene of the Temple gave an impression of silence, beauty, wonder and an immense peace.
The Mother commented on the card in the evening when she saw me in her room at the Playground:
Ah! You know I saw the Golden Temple at Kyoto when I was in Japan. It is very beautiful.
The Mother gave the following message to the Japan Centre on 16.10.1972:
Japan was, in the physical world, the teacher of beauty. She must not renounce her privilege.
