Who is Huta ?

 A few days back, one of my friends asked innocently "Who is Huta ?" The post gives a quick overview of Huta.


The book "My Savitri Work with the Mother" by Huta D. Hindocha, 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.


Few Quotes from the book -


The Mother said to Huta:


"I achieved in my tender age the highest occult truths. I have realised and seen all the visions set forth in Savitri. Actually I experienced the poem’s supreme revelations before I arrived in Pondicherry and before Sri Aurobindo read out Savitri to me early in the morning day after day at a certain period of the Ashram. I never told Sri Aurobindo all that I had seen in my visions beforehand…"


The Mother laughed softly, sweetly and resumed:


"I have seen the beauties and wonders of the higher worlds. Now I think of expressing them in painting by various colours—blues, golds, pinks and whites—with certain vibrations of Light—all in harmony forming the New World. I wish to bring down upon earth this New World Since I have no time physically, I will paint through you. The world of Supreme Beauty exists. I shall take you there, you will see the things, remember them and then express them in paintings. Yes, yes, my will shall be done—the Supreme Beauties exist. I will certainly take you there. I see the butterfly ready in the cocoon. I do not wish it to come out soon, but gradually. Then after emerging from the chrysalis you will have enough knowledge to reach your goal."


Once again the Mother closed her eyes—a slight smile hovering on her lips. When she awoke, she said:


"I realised the Divine in my early twenties, your age! You see, the Inner Divinity is Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence.

This Divinity is constantly with me—guiding and inspiring me."


The Mother made me read her introduction which would go in the first Volume of Meditations on Savitri:


"Savitri, this prophetic vision of the world’s history, including the announcement of the world’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.

It is in a meditative mood that these ‘meditations ‘ must be looked at, to find the feeling they contain behind their appearance."


It was 29th March 1972. Huta offered to the Mother twelve copies of About Savitri Part One consisting of Book One, Canto 1. The Mother’s message for the book was:


"Savitri The supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo’s vision"


"Let us meditate on the most auspicious (best) form of Savitri, on the Light of the Supreme which shall illumine us with the Truth." - Sri Aurobindo.

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

 Album The Yoga of Synthesis  Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...

A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 15

 Today we continue to contemplate on the remaining lines from Page 5 of the Symbol Dawn of Savitri.  "Here too the vision and prophetic gleam Lit into miracles common meaningless shapes; Then the divine afflatus, spent, withdrew, Unwanted, fading from the mortal’s range. A sacred yearning lingered in its trace, The worship of a Presence and a Power Too perfect to be held by death-bound hearts, The prescience of a marvellous birth to come." 'Here' stands for our ordinary human world where the vision and prophetic brief light of Goddess lit the ordinary shapes miraculously into divine meaning for few moments. But then the divine creative impulse or inspiration was spent and feeling unwanted withdrew and faded from the range of mortal men. Once gone it left behind a sacred yearning in the hearts of those later realized what had happened. The presence and Power of Divine Goddess was too perfect to be worshipped to be held steady by death-bound hearts of ordinary mortals. ...
