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
On 28.3.1973 I sent to the Mother the note I had received from Roger, along with this letter:
My dearest Mother,
I have received this note from Roger through Shyamsunder. First point: Whatever You have decided for the Matrimandir is absolutely right because You know much more about the matter than anybody else does.
Second point: You had appointed me the guardian of the Matrimandir in 1965—and I am grateful to You for that—but now I truly pray to You to release me from this appointment because I do not really deserve anything, and I do not know what work I have to do there, also there are many reasons and complications which prevent me from going there.
For some time I had been feeling to write to You all this before I received this note. I am really sorry that I shall not be able to be the guardian—I am helpless and hopeless. Please do forgive me. There are many capable people who can carry out this wonderful mission according to Your will.
Finally, I pray to You to get arranged and restored my present house by Udar or Phany. There are white ants and it needs repairs and whitewash which has not been done for quite a number of years.
I will do Your work, which is quite a lot, in my apartment, and my temple is my heart where the Divine can be realised by His Grace.
Mother, I love You and I trust You, knowing that You will surely lead me to my goal by fulfilling my soul's aspiration.
Ever Yours
Huta
