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
Piero Cicionesi, the chief engineer of the Matrimandir and his wife Gloria have been very good friends of mine since 1968. When we met we talked about the Matrimandir and its progress.
They informed me that the foundations of the Matrimandir were now completed, and the second pillar had come up to two metres. Soon they would take up the third one. All the pillar footings, 11 X 9 metres at the base and 1.20 metres high, had been cast. The pillars were to be finished in four stages.
