Born in East Africa: was drawn to the Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram at
Pondicherry, India, even before meeting Her: joined the Ashram permanently on
10th February 1955 in her late teens and came into close personal contact with
the Mother up to the time the latter left Her body on 17th November 1973;
received the name "Huta" from the Mother, meaning "The Offered One"; has been
entrusted by the Mother with a great number of letters, cards, messages, talks,
and sketches; also the Mother's recitations of passages from Sri Aurobindo's
epic Savitri, all tape-recorded by Huta, and corresponding with
hundreds of the author's paintings done in the light of the Mother's guidance,
the whole project named by the Mother Meditations on Savitri, which
contains an unbroken sequence of the the Mother's recitations accompanied by
Huta's paintings according to the Mother's comments on Savitri; has
also done paintings of selected poems of Sri Aurobindo; has painted many other
visionary pictures under the direct instructions of the Mother; and has
published several books.
The Mother used many sadhaks as instruments for various works; some gave up
after a time, but this young woman Huta stuck on through all trials and
persisted in her efforts to learn how to live the divine life. The Mother had
promised her that, “I will teach you not only what is Divine Life but also how
to live it so that you will realise in yourself that true divine
life.”
In March 1967 Huta began the work of expressing some of Sri
Aurobindo’s poems through paintings. Under the Mother’s inspiration and guidance
she selected certain passages from the poems and completed fifty-four paintings,
which were all shown to the Mother in September of that year. These
painting are featured in many of her books.
Huta has done quite a lot of work single-handedly, bringing out many books
based on her learning experiences in various fields. In several of her books she
tells the story of her life with the Mother —which is indeed the story of a
soul.
