The Spirit of Auroville

In return I received a letter dated 12.3.74 from M. André, who was in Paris at that time:

Dear Huta,

Thanks for your letter of the 6th enclosing a copy of your letter of February 24th to Shyamsunder.

What you have written to him checks very well with what Mother told me on the very few instances when she spoke to me of the Matrimandir. As a matter of fact, these few cases were related to your 'appointment' as guardian of the Matrimandir. Of the plans for the building itself she never spoke to me, so that I understood it was a matter between her, Roger and Shyamsunder, and I never asked a question. Usually she saw Roger after me, but I clearly remember the instance when Roger and Gabriel explained to her what could be done for the flame. In spite of the importance of the decision and the interest she had in it, she did not utter a word to me.

I am quite confident that Shyamsunder will give to your letter the consideration which it deserves and that he will take all possible steps to remain within Mother's wishes. I am sending him a copy of this note.

Yours in the Mother's love,

André
