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
Gloria wrote to me again on 18.5.75:
Dear Huta,
This very night I thought of you intensely:
I was on night watch in the Matrimandir, and suddenly I was attracted by the beauty of the Banyan Tree. I went near its root, and the tree was singing and dancing with its leaves in the moonlight and the wind; there was such a joy—full presence of the "inner Life", so that in spite of all the present difficulty and disharmony of Auroville, I felt a hope for the future, and the Mother's smile behind our human game.
I do not remember if I have thanked you for the photograph of us together which you sent. It is nice. It was a beautiful day—21.2.75.
I hope you are well even if you work always too much.
In the Mother's Truth and Love,
Gloria
