My Savitri work with the Mother
The Mother : Contact On Savitri
This book tells the story of how Huta came to the Ashram and began her work with the Mother. It presents a detailed account of how the Mother prepared and encouraged her to learn painting and helped her to create two series of paintings: the 472 pictures comprising Meditations on Savitri and the 116 pictures that accompanied the Mother's comments titled About Savitri. During their meetings, where the Mother revealed her visions for each painting by drawing sketches and explaining which colours should be used, the unique importance of Savitri and the Mother's own experiences connected to the poem come clearly into view. The book is also a representation of Huta's sadhana, her struggles and her progress, and the solicitude and grace showered on her by the Mother.

That very night I painted the picture. The next morning I sent it to the Mother. She wrote:

My very dear little child Huta
The painting is excellent—this is a very good start for the new series. Cheer up, my child, you do well what you do, and you say that you are lonely, but the Lord is with you and surely that is a big solace.
With all my love
