A compilation of Huta’s autobiographical notes, about which The Mother said : 'This is the interesting story of how a being discovers the Divine Life.'
The Mother : Contact
The Story of a Soul, Huta's journal of her progress on the spiritual path, runs from 1954 to 1973. This records many of her conversations with the Mother, their private meditations in the Mother's room at the Playground, and their correspondence. In her numerous cards and messages the Mother consoled Huta in her difficulties, appreciated her skill in various works, and promised to help her realise her true being.
THEME/S
The Puja days arrived.
On Durga Puja, October 26th 1955, the Mother came down to the Meditation Hall and distributed to everyone Sri Aurobindo's poem "Rose of God":
Rose of God, vermilion stain on the sapphires of heaven, Rose of Bliss, fire-sweet, seven-tinged with the ecstasies seven! Leap up in our heart of humanhood, O miracle, O flame, Passion flower of the Nameless, bud of the mystical Name. Rose of God, great wisdom-bloom on the summits of being, Rose of Light, immaculate core of the ultimate seeing! Live in the mind of our earthhood; O golden Mystery, flower, Sun on the head of the Timeless, guest of the marvellous Hour. Rose of God, damask force of Infinity, red icon of might, Rose of Power with thy diamond halo piercing the night! Ablaze in the will of the mortal, design the wonder of thy plan, Image of Immortality, outbreak of the Godhead in man. Rose of God, smitten purple with the incarnate divine Desire, Rose of Life, crowded with petals, colour's lyre! Transform the body of the mortal like a sweet and magical rhyme; Bridge our earthood and heavenhood, make deathless the children of Time. Rose of God, like a blush of rapture on Eternity's face, Rose of Love, ruby depth of all being, fire passion of Grace! Arise from the heart of the yearning that sobs in Nature's abyss: Make earth the home of the Wonderful and life beatitude's kiss. Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: Rose of God

And on October 31, Lakshmi Puja day, she came down to distribute this message to all:
Mother divine, thou art with us, each day thou givest me that assurance, and closely united in an identification that grows more and more integral, more and more constant, we turn to the Lord of the universe and to That which is beyond in a great aspiration towards the New Light.
On each Puja day the Mother wore a sari and crown or bandeau to suit the occasion. On Durga Puja day, for instance, she dressed in a red sari. On the Puja days of Mahalakshmi, Mahakali, and Mahasaraswati her attire corresponded to the particular quality and power of the specific goddess.
