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'.

Mary Aldridge wrote to me on 8.8.74:

Dear Huta,

I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed your book on Matrimandir. I was so enthralled with it that one evening I sat out on my little balcony and read it right through from beginning to end!

That same night I had a really beautiful dream (or was it a vision?) of the Mother! So I am grateful to you for two reasons: giving us such a beautiful book, and giving me such a wonderful dream!

Loretta, who works on the Matrimandir, stayed with me a few days last week (convalescing). I lent her your book and she was amazed to read of your vision of the Spirit of Auroville and to see the painting. She tells me that right down at the bottom of the Matrimandir there is a very wonderful atmosphere. One day she was in meditation there and she had a marvellous vision. She saw a very beautiful woman with flowing red hair, green eyes and all in white. She mentioned it in a poem, and when she showed it to the Editor of Sri Aurobindo's Action, he asked her to take out those lines as they didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the poem. So she substituted two other lines. Now the original ones will be re-inserted. Loretta said she might write and tell you—perhaps she has already. But in case she doesn't I thought I would tell you as I am sure you will be interested.

Hope all is well with you.

In her love

Mary
