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
Navajata, the Secretary of the Sri Aurobindo Society, took me to the chosen place on 29.12.65, a Wednesday, in the morning.
It was a barren land—almost a plateau, without any trees save a lone banyan tree on a slightly raised ground that witnessed all the ups and downs of the vast land and Nature's moods.
I heard that somebody had suggested cutting down the banyan tree. But the Mother strongly refused.
Trees meant so much to her. Now they cut trees indiscriminately!
