The Number 108 and 9
In many spiritual traditions, 108 holds significance. It appears in the number of beads on a meditation strand, symbolizing a journey from the individual to the universal.
In astronomy, there are interesting proportions that come close to 108. The distance from Earth to the Sun is roughly 107-108 times the Sun's diameter. The distance from Earth to the Moon is approximately 110 times the Moon's diameter. These proportions aren't exact, but they're close enough that people have found meaning in them for centuries.
Symbolically, 1 represents unity, 0 represents infinite potential, and 8 represents continuity. Together, they form 108, a number that many cultures associate with completion and cycles of existence.
When you add 1 + 0 + 8, you get 9. In many traditions, 9 represents completion; the point where one cycle ends and another begins.
Shristi Ratna™ embodies that idea.
We believe 108 holds profound significance in how the universe functions. Shristi Ratna™ brings that into form, a diamond cut with 108 facets because we wanted to put that alignment... on you.
