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
It would be a great pity if the whole Vision of the Mother is spoiled by human preconceived notions, so that we have to face the spiritual consequences and then repent.
Lots of money was spent on constructing the Amphitheatre. In fact, instead of the Amphitheatre, the Mother wanted a pool which would be in harmony with varieties of coloured lotuses, lovely lilies, goldfish, swans and water-birds gliding happily. The pool would be surrounded by trees, such as kadamba—Anthocephalus cadamba—whose flower was named by the Mother: "Supramental Sun, we aspire that its rays may enlighten and transform us." Also Flamboyant (Gulmohur), and various other trees including Cherry blossom which the Mother loved immensely, as well as a galaxy of smiling flowers, with different kinds of birds singing merrily. Everywhere there would be quotations of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother engraved on marble slabs. If people wish to meditate quietly they could do so underneath the trees where there would be marble seats, and absorb the atmosphere of the "Eternal Bliss" and realise the Supreme Truth and the Supreme Love.

Nature is nothing but the Will of God in action.
