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 4th March 1966 I went to the Mother in the afternoon. She said:
Child, Roger is coming on the 7th and I am going to see him on the 8th. I shall tell you all about the plan when you come on the 10th.
I seized an opportunity and prayed to her to lay the first stone of The Mother's Shrine, because the Supreme Truth would manifest there. Previously it had been decided to lay the foundation stone of the Truth Pavilion that very year, 1966. So naturally I asked the Mother to do it.
She went into a trance. When she opened her eyes, she remained absolutely silent. Then suddenly she drew my head towards her and kissed me on my forehead. I could not make anything out of this gesture except that her touch soothed me.
