Story of Ru
The very answer to how I founded or evolved with Ru, will in itself speak about the story of RU.
Those who all know me should obviously know my interest and love for art,in various forms!
I've always scribbled since long but most of my writings that I wrote in my teens and childhood I lost them! I deeply repent it!
However, I learnt to gear up to put them all in one place. I've tried several blogs, Google sites, websites, nothing really could satisfy me esp the way I wanted to present it.! I've decided few years ago, when I was yet a student to come up with my very own gallery where I would exhibit my art work* and a sister studio for my other works!
Over the few years, it really got complex to maintain several blogs and even more complex was to remember the passwords!! Time slowly crept and eventually got me to a point of urgency to find a name so as to have the copy rights to all my work! Its utmost necessary these days with growing piracy and low self-esteemed people on rise who don't hesitate to steal your creative works!! Sadness!!
One evening, while I stayed with my friends in Houston, I did not have project and had ample time to read a lot of stuff that I ever wanted to, which I did when I was not applying. I was browsing on the internet and was reading through some article, I was casually looking through various sub-links one leading to another, I landed finally in wiki and was reading the about the etymology of guru. Citied below from Wikipedia!
"Guru is composed of the syllables gu and ru, the former signifying 'darkness', and the latter signifying 'the destroyer of that [darkness]', hence a guru is one characterized as someone who dispels spiritual ignorance (darkness), with spiritual illumination (light) -as per Advaya-Tãraka Upanishad (verse 16)[citation needed],"
I am sure now you can guess, Ru means the destroyer of that [darkness] aka existence of Light aka Roshini which also means light!
Hence, I chose Ru to be sister studio for my "Shri Sai Baba's Paintings"- Gallery Copy Writed Under "Anatarmayi" -The Inner Light. !
So Ru evolved and I am proud to announce the birth of RU.
