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
The second anniversary of the manifestation of the Supramental Consciousness Light and Force took place in 1964.
The Mother distributed this message to people on that day:
All earth shall be the Spirit’s manifest home, ||155.45||
That very year the movement for the New Town began. It was to be an extension of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. The name of the New Town was given by the Mother in the beginning of 1965: "Auroville". Named after Sri Aurobindo, literally it means, "The City of Dawn".
Auroville–an International Township–is situated mainly in the state of Tamil Nadu, South India. It also lies partly in Pondicherry State.
The site is a low-lying plateau about 50-55 metres above the sea level, gradually sloping down to the sea on the East and to lakes on the West. It is planned to cover an area of about 15 sq. km. Auroville is situated 10 km. or so to the North of Pondicherry.
During this period various seminars were held in the Ashram. The project of the New Township, planned for 50,000 inhabitants, was sponsored and made known by the Sri Aurobindo Society, an International Organisation which the Mother had formed in 1960. She was the President of the Sri Aurobindo Society.
