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'.

In answer to my letter, Mr. Tata's Executive Assistant, Mrs. M. Howgood wrote to me on 18.2.80:
Dear Miss Hindocha,
Mr J.R.D. Tata has asked me to thank you for your hand-written letter of the 31st January 1980 and to reply to it on his behalf.
Mr. Tata is interested in Auroville, his interest lies not in the spiritual and philosophical aspects of it as a creation of the Mother but in the constructive, and particularly rural uplift work that is being done by its citizens. It is for that reason that Mr. Tata has created a small foundation called AUROMITRA —Friends of Auroville Research Foundation, through which funds can be channelled to rural development work being done in Auroville.
Mr. Tata much appreciated your kind thought in sending him the booklet which he has seen with interest.
Your sincerely,
Mrs. M. Howgood
In this connection, let me quote Sri Aurobindo:
Men labour only after success and if they are fortunate enough to fail, it is because the wisdom and force of Nature overbear their intellectual cleverness. God alone knows when and how to blunder wisely and fail effectively.
