Huta

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'.

Dear Huta,

I have the feeling that the publication of your booklet by Auroville Press will somehow be prevented by Aurovilians. Perhaps even the page-proofs won't come back. Better to transcribe into your typescript all the corrections and additions from the page-proofs. Let us hope my feeling proves mistaken. But even if it is right, there is nothing to fear. The Mother is with us! Yours affectionately,

Amal

His feeling was absolutely right. I appreciated and will always appreciate his good will and affection. The persons concerned went to the Auropress late at night in order to retrieve the page-proofs and destroy them. But fortunately they were with me for correction at the time!
