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'.

The Mother, Words of the Mother - III: Darshan Messages
Hundreds of people witnessed the laying of the foundation-stone of the Matrimandir on this day. Nolini Kanta Gupta brought a small box with blessing-packets given by the Mother, to place in a recess between the site of the Matrimandir and the Banyan Tree.
The holy fire, the symbol of man's aspiration, was lit. At sunrise a recording of the Mother's reading of her message in French and in English was played, along with the music composed by Sunil for the occasion. The atmosphere was enchanting.
The Mother's message ran:
Let the Matrimandir be the living symbol of Auroville's aspiration for the Divine.
