Kṣīrodadhi
(Pronounced: k-shee-roh-da-dhi)
It means “The Ocean of Milk.”
Let’s break it down:
Kṣīra (pronounced: k-shee-rah) means “milk.”
Udadhi (pronounced: oo-da-dhi) means “ocean.”
So, when you say Kṣīrodadhi, you are really saying “the ocean made of milk!”
Why is this important?
In old stories from India, the Ocean of Milk is a magical place in the sky where stars float like shining drops of milk. The gods and great beings would come together to “churn” this ocean, hoping to find something precious inside: the nectar of immortality, called amṛta (ahm-rit-ah).
And what about the jewel?
The red garnet in the jewel is like a fiery little sun—a spark from the heart of the fire god, Agni.
The white stones (cubic zirconia) are like shining stars or drops of milk in the ocean.
The silver shines like moonlight on the surface.
All together, this jewel’s name, Kṣīrodadhi, honors these stories:
The red center is the warm, lively heart.
The white stones sparkle like milk-stars in the dark sea.
The silver wrapping echoes the moon’s gentle light.
So when you hold this, you hold a little piece of a great story—about magic, stars, milk, warmth, and the power of kindness passed from one hand to the next.
Say it together:
“k-shee-roh-da-dhi — The Ocean of Milk.”
And remember: even the biggest oceans are made of many tiny drops, just like this story is made up of many caring hearts.
