Number 108, which shows up as the number of bin the rosary (japamālā), the number of dance movements (karanas) of the Nātya Śāstra, the names of the God and the Goddess, the number of pithas, the number of dhāms, the number of arhats, and so onIt is not a mee co incidence nor some alien concept but a very calm and composed idea.
108 adds up to 9 or 1+8 which is again 18 that are the number of puranas or the chapters of the bhagwat gita.108 is again 27*4 which is again the same.27 is the no. of nakshatras and 4 directions.
The currently estimated mean diameter d 3,476 km. The estimated average distance between the earth and the sun is 149,600,000 km, so that Average Distance to Sun/ S
The distance between the earth and the moon
Average Distance to Moon/ Moon diameter ≈ 110.58
Diameter of Sun/ Earth diameter ≈ 109.24
is thus correct for these distances to be approximated by the figure of 108. The
e the discovery that a pole of a certain eight removed to a distance of 108 times its height has the same angular size as ratio of distance from sun and moon.
This measure is also at the basis of the estimated distance to the sun in ancient Siddhāntic treatises.
The Vedic philosophy of bandhu takes the numbers 360 and 108be central to the inner cosmos of the individual also. Therefore, walking 108 steps of
the sanctum, or doing the 108 beads of the rosary, is also a symbolic journey from the body to the heart of inner consciousness..
