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
The Mother describes on 12.7.1972:
One must not confuse a religious teaching with spiritual teaching. Religious teaching belongs to the past and halts progress. Spiritual teaching is the teaching of the future; it enlightens the consciousness and prepares it for future realisation.
Spiritual teaching is above religions and strives for a total Truth. It teaches us to enter into direct contact with the Divine.
The Mother, Words of the Mother - III: Religion
The Mother wrote in Vol. 15, [p. 32] about religion:
Why do men cling to a religion? Religions are based on creeds which are spiritual experiences brought down to a level where they become more easy to grasp, but at the cost of their integral purity and truth.
The time of religions is over.
We have entered the age of universal spirituality, of spiritual experience in its initial purity.
Sri Aurobindo has explained about the religions:
The Ashram has nothing to do with Hindu religion or culture or any religion or nationality. The Truth of the Divine which is the spiritual reality behind all religions and the descent of the supramental which is not known to any religion are the sole things which will be the foundation of the work of the future.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Himself and the Ashram: Islam, Hinduism, and the Integral Yoga
The Mother has explained:
Jesus is one of the many forms which the Divine has assumed to enter into relationship with the earth. But there are and there will be many others; and the children of Auroville should replace the exclusiveness of one religion by the wide faith of knowledge.
The Mother, Words of the Mother - I: Aims and Principles
The Mother also says:
All religions must unite with a higher knowledge.
The Yoga for tomorrow is to find the Divine in work and in relation with the world.
Sri Aurobindo's view:
Our Yoga is not a retreading of old walks but a spiritual adventure.
Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - II: Transformation in the Integral Yoga
He also says:
My truth is one that rejects ignorance and falsehood and moves to the knowledge, rejects darkness and moves to the light, rejects egoism and moves to the Divine Self rejects imperfections and moves to perfections. My truth is not only the truth of Bhakti or of psychic development but also of knowledge, purity, divine strength and calm and of the raising of all these things from their mental, emotional and vital forms to their supramental reality.
