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'.

On 7th September 1967 I went to the Mother in the afternoon. She told me:

Child, now I am collecting the money you are giving me. I am collecting it in the leather bag which also you have given me.

We are planning for 1968. We haven't decided who will lay the first stone, but it is very interesting to find who it will be. I am now waiting for an order.

Later, one afternoon the Mother told me:

Child, it is very interesting. You see, we have invited the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, to lay the foundation stone of Auroville on 28.2.1968.

But unhappily I came to know that Mrs. Gandhi could not do so because of her numerous political commitments. Later, she sent the following message to the Mother from New Delhi on 25.3.1969:

Pondicherry was Sri Aurobindo's place of political exile and spiritual unfolding. His effulgent message radiated to different parts of the world from Pondicherry. It is appropriate that seekers of enlightenment from various lands should found a new city there bearing Sri Aurobindo's name. It is an exciting project for bringing about harmony among different cultures and for understanding the environmental needs for man's spiritual growth.

May Auroville truly become a city of light and of peace.
