Ruti may refer to:

  • Ruti (crater), a crater on Ganymede
  • Rüti (disambiguation), a number of places in Switzerland

  • Śruti

    "Shruti" (Sanskrit, IAST: śruti) means "that which is heard" and refers to the body of most authoritative, ancient religious texts comprising the central canon of Hinduism. It includes the four Vedas including its four types of embedded texts - the Samhitas, the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas and the early Upanishads.

    Shrutis have been considered revealed knowledge, variously described as of divine origin, or nonhuman primordial origins. In Hindu tradition, they have been referred to as apauruṣeya (authorless). All six orthodox schools of Hinduism accept the authority of śruti, but many scholars in these schools denied that the shrutis are divine.Nāstika (heterodox) philosophies such as the Cārvākas did not accept the authority of the shrutis and considered them to be flawed human works.

    Shruti differs from other sources of Hindu philosophy, particularly smṛti “which is remembered” or textual material. These works span much of the history of Hinduism, beginning with the earliest known texts and ending in the early historical period with the later Upanishads. Of the śrutis, the Upanishads alone are widely known, and the central ideas of the Upanishadic śrutis are at the spiritual core of Hindus.

    Rüti, Glarus

    Rüti is a village, and former municipality, in the municipality of Glarus Süd and canton of Glarus in Switzerland.

    History

    Rüti is first mentioned about 1340.

    Agriculture was the main industry in Rüti until the 19th century. However by the 17th century, manual cotton spinning was widespread. By 1770 this had declined and the resulting impoverishment ended only with the establishment of a cotton mill for mechanical spinning and weaving of cotton in 1847, and a second similar plant for weaving both wool and cotton in 1850. These factories attracted many foreign workers to Rüti, but their operations ceased in 2002.

    In 1879, Linthal was connected to the Swiss railway network by the opening of the Swiss Northeastern Railway line from Weesen to Linthal.

    Until 1939, the village of Braunwald formed part of the municipality of Rüti, but in that year it split off to form its own municipality. On 1 January 2011, both municipalities was reunited as part of the new municipality of Glarus Süd.
