... Meditations on Savitri, which was released on 15 August 1962. Since her taking permanent residence in the Ashram in 1955, Huta had been struggling to judge from her correspondence with the Mother - within herself to find her true vocation. On 7 February 1961, Mother wrote to Huta: You ask me what you must do. It would be better to ask what you must be, because the circumstances and activities in... goddess too, the prophetess of the coming supramental Dawn, the "Greater Dawn" to be. And for Huta herself - as for many - the Mother was also "a parable of Dawn", a Savitri-power. Dawn, Savitri, the Mother - they are of course different powers and divinities. But they have also their striking affiliations, and Huta was made to seize the truth, and in her paintings the Dawn-Goddess evoked in lines like "On... self" by dedication to a big ideal or absorption in art or science, or social or political life etc. All would depend on one's sincerity, endurance, effort, struggle - and the sheer will to victory. Huta had awakened to the splendours in the firmament of Savitri on the night in July 1954 when "cataracts of divine light and peace" overpowered her and swept her towards a new goal in life. Then, after ...

... intimacy with Sri Aurobindo's and the Mother's writings, these early surmises seemed to gain only further corroboration. Presently Huta - an aspirant who had felt the call of the Mother from Miwani in far-off Africa - came to the Ashram at Pondicherry, and the Mother and Huta began a truly unique tapasya of collaboration: rendering Savitri in painting. As the Mother later wrote: Savitri, ... the announcement of the earth's future - Who can ever dare to put it in pictures? Yet, the Mother and Huta have tried it, this way. We simply meditate together on the lines chosen, and when the image becomes clear, I describe it with the help of a few strokes, then Huta goes to her studio and brushes the painting.

... really wonderful. When we showed the plans and spoke to Huta about this possibility, she was extremely happy and satisfied. Huta also said how practical the Mother is: when She did the sketch of the Matrimandir, She did not forget to show in Her drawing the small boxroom to keep dusters and things like that to clean the Matrimandir. So Huta said that these minor things are also to be considered.... Spirit of Auroville Here is the letter written by Alain Grandcolas and Ruud Lohmann to the Mother on 15.2.73: Divine Mother, Roger asked us to go to Huta to discuss certain things regarding her house near the Matrimandir as to how she wishes to have it built. She said that everything should be done exactly according to the Mother's wish. We asked her... house is to be built between the Matrimandir and the banyan tree—on the island; it must be a tiny and simple house. The Mother has already explained the plan to Roger and Shyamsunder. And for the rest, Huta said that everything is explained, including the copies of the Mother's letters regarding the Matrimandir and Auroville, in the file which is given to Shyamsunder according to the Mother's wish and ...

... Lord and become "God-dedicated and love-luminous". Huta is clear in her mind that divine peace and happiness cannot come from money, family, children, pleasure, prosperity. She will rather offer all she possesses in the world - as well as the immortal love of her soul - to the divine Mother; but will it be accepted? It was accepted indeed, and Huta came to the Ashram for a short visit and had her... is the Truth and the Love I have been seeking and aspiring for." On 10 February 1955, she returned to the Ashram, and stayed on; and on the 17th the Mother gave her the name "Huta" (The Offered One). 5 Like Huta, others too - men and women following different professions, men and women of the old world and the new, men and women of various races and climes - heard the call from Pondicherry... writings went round the world and, encountering the elect in unpredictable places, effected remarkable conversions. Thus, from 1 February, Savita Hindocha, who was later to acquire the Ashram name of "Huta", began writing down in her mother tongue Gujarati, her intense prayers to the Divine Mother with single-pointed devotion, feeling irresistibly drawn as iron is by the magnet. 1 In 1981, in a preface ...
... be there at the centre? Huta hopes so. (Mother laughs.) I did not say no, I did not say yes; I told her, "The Lord will decide." It depends on my state of health. A removal, no—I am here because of the Samadhi, I shallstay here, that is quite sure. But I can go there on a visit; it is not so Page 61 far, it takes five minutes by car. But Huta wants to be quiet, silent, aloof... having to find the place, it was the place—near the lake—which gave birth to the formation, and until now I took only a very minor interest in it, for I had received nothing directly. Then our little Huta took it into her head to have a house there, by the lake, and to have a house for me next to hers, and to offer it to me. And she wrote me all her dreams: one or two sentences suddenly stirred an old... peaceful, very silent place. Page 58 Nearby, there would be a small dwelling, a small dwelling which would nevertheless have three floors, but not large-sized, and that would be the house of Huta, who would serve as a guardian. She would be the guardian of the pavilion. She wrote me a very nice letter but she did not understand all that, of course. That is the centre. All around ...
... wholly to the Mother?" At last we reach the door of her apartment. Huta walks in as if that was a natural thing to do. I stand outside and wait. The Mother, who is standing beyond the threshold, smiles, steps half outside, catches my hand and pulls me in. I go in happily. At this time my companion student is a mixture of Huta and Vasudha. She sees that there is a big attached bathroom and exclaims:... the keynote of all the dreams—number 2—is at once struck. For, I find myself in a kind of classroom with only one other student. We are two and the Mother is our teacher. The second student is Huta. She has an exercise-book, but I have only a big white envelope with a letter in it dealing with a worldly concern—a sort of business letter. The flap of the envelope has not yet been stuck. The... exclaims: "How nice! We shall live here like two cooks!" The word "cooks" is surely odd but again the number 2 openly named is striking. Huta-Vasudha then disappears and I am alone with the Mother. Now she and I form the number 2. I am very close to her. I have an arm half around her waist. The Mother's face is near mine. I move my head a little forward and lightly kiss her on the right cheek. She ...

Something of an amplifiction is provided by the Mother's letter of 1st January to Huta: "This year we salute the... power of right discrimination, the purblind race of miserable men must continue to take the false for true and the true for false, and forge whole odysseys of defeat for themselves.

The first, held on 14 February, was on How to discriminate between Truth and falsehood in the impulses of action? 18 The Mother's message to the seminar was the same as her letter to Huta on 22 January on the need to discriminate between Truth and Falsehood. 19 In the seminar held on 25 April, the question posed was How to make one's studies a means of one's sadhana?

... August 1986 The Mother asked me to keep a copy of her letter dated 26th December 1969 before delivering it to Huta. The letter was about a house to be built for Huta near the Matrimandir in Auroville, of which the Mother had appointed Huta the guardian in 1965. The Mother's letter to Huta was as follows: "I told you myself that this money was used for the first day ceremony of Auroville; and ...

My love and blessings are always with you. Also there was a quotation... inquired all about your welfare and thanked me for assisting you in London. I felt really embarrassed. Did you write to the Mother? The Mother affirmed: 'Now London has come under my Consciousness.' Huta, isn't it wonderful? October drifted into November. Raw, cold, wet weather gripped London in its remorseless fingers. Days of anxiety and uncertainty lay ahead of me. My restored confidence ebbed... I opened it and found a card which depicted frosted snow on the trunk of a big tall tree and on its branches, near a Church.

You have to decide which pictures and what matter are to go in the folder. We will get... and others at the Matrimandir that these folders were meant to be presented to those who gave donations to the Matrimandir. I was very happy.

I remember that in your diary there is a statement by the Mother that before she came here she went through ...
... Auroville On 4.11.72 the Mother spoke to Shyamsunder, as she had done several times before, about the plan of my house near the Matrimandir. She told him: Huta will be the guardian of the Matrimandir. Her residence is to be built in one of the twelve gardens. She has given money for it. She must have a kitchenette also . Then Shyamsunder said to the Mother... a kichenette. Nevertheless I was grateful to her for everything. Here I recall vividly the occasion when the Mother came in 1956 along with some people to arrange an apartment for me upstairs in Huta House—the name given by the Mother—where I stayed for 37 years until I was compelled to leave that flat in January 1995. The Mother said to the people who were going to get the apartment repaired and... the Supreme Lord. I expressed my feeling to the Mother and thanked her once again for taking so much care of me. She answered on 23.10.56: Bonjour To my dear little child, To my sweet Huta, I have read your very nice letter and listened to your sincere prayer. The Grace always grants the sincere prayers—so be quite sure that you will reach your goal. I am happy to take ...

My heart grieves with sorrow. Your Force, Grace and Love make me go on—and I live. Again and again I thank you for loving me. Yours, Huta” February gave way to a wild and windy March. The chilliness increased in the air. Everything was freezing—these were the days of solitude and silence. Snow whirled and spattered against my windows... overdrawn. I was shocked. Immediately I telephoned Aunt Margaret to come with £50/-. She was a haven—always dependable. I could count on her to stand by me. She arrived with the money and told me: "Huta, I have been in terrible anxiety about you these past few hours. You really had me all a twitter with worry. Now tell me what happened and why you wish to leave this place." I said: "Aunt, I take a ...

But in any case the present stage seems too early to concern oneself with this specific problem.

Meanwhile, please extend my cordial greetings to Huta and show her Udar's letter to Nolini-da as well... which is required to enable her to carry out properly her work of guardianship. To me personally it would seem that the keys to the Matrimandir and those to her own lotus-house could be handed over to Huta at the same time.

Mother was very happy with my suggestion. She got a photograph... photograph made through Bansidhar, wrote Huta's name and “Blessings” on it and gave it to Huta. × This sketch was printed on the cover of Champaklal's Prarthana ane Udgaro ( Prayers and Sayings ), 1986. ...
