108 Explained The Secret Code Connecting the Universe

In this post, I have written about the secrets of 108 Code from a Hindu perspective. Most readers of this site would undoubtedly wonder about this special number.

Why do most Mantras have to be counted 108 times or in multiples of 108, or half or quarter of 108, which comes to  54, or 27? Or "Why does every counting rosary have 108 beads?"

In this post, I have tried to explain why spiritual traditions, not just in India but all around the world, consider this number to be divine or mystical. And the mysteries of 108 that bind spirituality, science, mathematics, and the universe together.

1) 108 in Spirituality and The Magic of Perfection:
The Number 108 is used to count Mantra Chants in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain religions; it is no coincidence. There is a strong belief in these religions that chanting any mantra 108 times or in multiples or divisions of 108 increases the effects of the Mantra and balances the mind, body, and spirit.

Devote Hindus regularly chant the Ashtottar Shatnamavali or 108 names of most Hindu Gods and Goddesses, like Shiva, Vishnu, Durga, Hanuman, and many other deities. This is because these Names can connect with specific cosmic vibrations, which have the potential to fulfill any purpose.

2) Khagol Shastra or Astronomy: 

Ancient Sages and Yogis discovered the mystical connection between 108 and astronomy. The distance of the Sun is about 108 times far from Earth in proportion to its diameter. And the Moon is also approximately 108 times farther from Earth. The ratio of both these celestial bodies is 108! Many spiritualists call this cosmic balance, which is perhaps why 108 is called the 'cosmic number.'”

3) 108 Number in Mathematics; the Balanced Number:
According to mathematics, 108 is called a Harshad number. Because 1 + 0 + 8 = 9, and 108 is exactly divisible by 9. Such numbers are considered rare; therefore, 108 is a very stable and unique number in mathematics.”

4) Yoga, Ayurveda, and Energy Science:
In Yoga, the human body contains 108 vital points where life energy, or Prana, Flows. Sanskrit has 54 letters, and the masculine and feminine forms of each letter add up to 108. Language, sound, and energy all hinge on the axis of 108.”

5) Temples and Architecture:
The use of the Number 108 is widespread in ancient Indian temples and shrines. One can come across many temples containing 108 steps. In the Southern Parts of India, there are the 108 Vishnu Temples called Divya Desam. This could be because ancient architects considered 108 to be the invisible bridge between man and the universe.

6) 108 in World Cultures:
The vibration of 108 is present not only in India but throughout the world. In Japan, temple bells are rung 108 times on New Year's Day to remove the 108 flaws or negative qualities from humans and the atmosphere.

108 is also considered sacred and mystical in Tibetan culture. This means that 108 is not just a number; it is a universal spiritual symbol.

7) The Number of Perfection: 

 From the evidence given above, 108 is not just a mathematical number. It is a wonderful confluence of spirituality, science, the universe, and tradition. That is why it is called ‘The Number of Perfection.’”
