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
Sri Aurobindo's Birth Centenary was on 15th August 1972. This also happened to be the Silver Jubilee of the Independence of India. It was significant, because for India Sri Aurobindo's birth was the beginning of a New Age. India got her independence on Sri Aurobindo's 75th birthday.
About India, Sri Aurobindo has written:
The old forms and methods are no longer sufficient for the purpose of the Time Spirit. India can no longer fulfil herself on lines that are too narrow for the great steps she has to take in future.
Sri Aurobindo, Essays in Philosophy and Yoga: Ourselves
Here are the Mother's words on India:
India has become the symbolic representation of all the difficulties of modern mankind. India will be the land of its resurrection—the resurrection to a higher and truer life.
The Mother, Words of the Mother - I: India
The following message the Mother gave in February 1954 about India is quite apt:
The future of India is very clear. India is the Guru of the world. The future structure of the world depends on India. India is the living soul. India is incarnating the spiritual knowledge in the world. The Government of India ought to recognise the significance of India in this sphere and plan their action accordingly.
