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
On 14.3.1971, excavation of the foundations of the Matrimandir was started by Aurovilians and Ashramites. The Mother encouraged them by giving this message:
The fraternity of collaboration
The aspiration towards Unity In Joy and Light.
The Mother, Words of the Mother - I: Matrimandir
During this time the team of the Matrimandir Nursery asked the Mother whether they should postpone growing flowers and plants in order to join in the work of digging the excavation for the Matrimandir. The Mother answered:
No, the gardens are as important as the Matrimandir itself.
The Mother's compassionate care and concern shows in this message of hers:
An absolute cleanliness is indispensable in this country and climate to avoid illness. Great precautions must be taken.
The Mother, Words of the Mother - I: Community Affairs
