Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 JAI MAA, Significance of 108 The Indian Subcontinent rosary or set of mantra counting has 108 beads. 108 has been a sacred number in the Indian Subcontinent for a very long time. This number is explained in many different ways. The ancient Indians were excellent mathematicians and 108 may be the product of a precise mathematical operation (e.g. 1 power 1 x 2 power 2 x 3 power 3 = 108) which was thought to have special numerological significance. Powers of 1, 2, and 3 in math: 1 to 1st power=1; 2 to 2nd power=4 (2x2); 3 to 3rd power=27 (3x3x3). 1x4x27=108 Sanskrit alphabet: There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet. Each has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti. 54 times 2 is 108. Sri Yantra: On the Sri Yantra there are marmas where three lines intersect, and there are 54 such intersections. Each intersections has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti qualities. 54 x 2 equals 108. Thus, there are 108 points that define the Sri Yantra as well as the human body. 9 times 12: Both of these numbers have been said to have spiritual significance in many traditions. 9 times 12 is 108. Also, 1 plus 8 equals 9. That 9 times 12 equals 108. Heart Chakra: The chakras are the intersections of energy lines, and there are said to be a total of 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra. One of them, sushumna leads to the crown chakra, and is said to be the path to Self-realization. Marmas: Marmas or marmastanas are like energy intersections called chakras, except have fewer energy lines converging to form them. There are said to be 108 marmas in the subtle body. Time: Some say there are 108 feelings, with 36 related to the past, 36 related to the present, and 36 related to the future. Astrology: There are 12 constellations, and 9 arc segments called namshas or chandrakalas. 9 times 12 equals 108. Chandra is moon, and kalas are the divisions within a whole. Planets and Houses: In astrology, there are 12 houses and 9 planets. 12 times 9 equals 108. Gopis of Krishna: In the Krishna tradition, there were said to be 108 gopis or maid servants of Krishna. 1, 0, and 8: 1 stands for God or higher Truth, 0 stands for emptiness or completeness in spiritual practice, and 8 stands for infinity or eternity. Sun and Earth: The diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth. Numerical scale: The 1 of 108, and the 8 of 108, when added together equals 9, which is the number of the numerical scale, i.e. 1, 2, 3 ... 10, etc., where 0 is not a number. Smaller divisions: The number 108 is divided, such as in half, third, quarter, or twelfth, so that some malas have 54, 36, 27, or 9 beads. Jain: In the Jain religion, 108 are the combined virtues of five categories of holy ones, including 12, 8, 36, 25, and 27 virtues respectively. Sikh: The Sikh tradition has a mala of 108 knots tied in a string of wool, rather than beads. Chinese: The Chinese Buddhists and Taoists use a 108 bead mala, which is called su-chu, and has three dividing beads, so the mala is divided into three parts of 36 each. Stages of the soul: Said that Atman, the human soul or center goes through 108 stages on the journey. Meru: This is a larger bead, not part of the 108. It is not tied in the sequence of the other beads. It is the quiding bead, the one that marks the beginning and end of the mala. Dance: There are 108 forms of dance in the Indian traditions. Pythagorean: The nine is the limit of all numbers, all others existing and coming from the same. ie: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make up an infinite amount of numbers. We have 108 Upanishads as per the list contained in the Muktikopanishad . Arranged them in four categories according to the particular Veda to which each of them belong. Rigveda(10): Aitareya , Atmabodha, Kaushitaki, Mudgala, Nirvana, Nadabindu, Akshamaya, Tripura, Bahvruka, Saubhagyalakshmi.

Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 5:55 AM "The significance of 108"The Mystic number 108 is so sacred to ancient Indians. In all spiritual practices 108 is given utmost importance. There are 108 beads on a 'jabamala' that are counted while repeating a mantra and the equal number of names of a God or Goddess chanted during Puja. In explaining the number of beads on a Jabamala, it is said that 108 on the number of steps a soul takes to reach the Divine with Himself. Indian knowledge ecoes it throughout. The ultimate truth is that the creation is manifested from God, sustained within God and gets dissolved in God.The whole of creation which include heaven, galaxies, planets, stars, human beings and other creatures is created, sustained and merged accordingly in that Divine principle. There is a rythm, a pattern and discipline in the whole universe. That rythm is symbolised as "108 factor or number". And there are many spiritual and superior things hidden in "108"I read this in one of the book and like to share this with all. I think our soul would stay in earth 108 times in different birth and body. In that birth as a human being is the most important to reach the divine. Being a human being is a gift and we should try to reach the Divine by praising and doing good things. Else the soul again be in the earth in a different creatures.I hope iam right upto an extent. pls discuss.RegardsLingarajom_namah_shivaya_ group@ s.com, anju <anju777 > wrote:>> SAIRAM.>  Thanks for your guidance,but can you please tell me,if I can only do JAP for 108 Days,as we are going through very very bad times for the last 4 Years in business,can I do just one Mala for 108 days daily,will that be ok,as living in USA with job and house work doing the whole day is not possible .Please do guide me.> Thanks.> > >  to touch is to heal,> to hurt is to steal,> if you wanna kiss the sky> better learn how to kneel !!!> anju> > > > raj_laxmi_us <rajyalaxmi11@ ...>> om_namah_shivaya_ group@ s.com> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 6:36 pm> [om_namah_shivaya_ group] Divine Help; Vedic way to Wealth and Prosperity.> > > > > > > > > JAI MAA,> > Akshaya Trithiya is on April 27, 2009> > The third day of the bright-half of the lunar month of Vaisakha is Akshya Tritiya.'AKSHAYE' means 'that which does not diminish or perish.The word "Akshaya" means imperishable or eternal - that which never diminishes.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Respected Rajyalaxmiji, What you have mentioned is right about the significance of 108, but my question was are the human beings reborn as a human being or any other creature in this 108 cycle. please explain. Because in this Kaliyug many peoples speak about next janma, so are they aware of the rebirth. Howmany times a human being rebirth is there.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Om namah shivaya To reach the state of peaceOne skilled in the good Should be Capable and upright, Straightforward and easy to speak to, Gentle and not proud, Contented and easily supported, Living lightly and with few duties, Wise and with senses calmed, Not arrogant and without greed for supporters, And should not do the least thing that the wise would criticize. [One should reflect:] "May all be happy and secure; May all beings be happy at heart. All living beings, whether weak or strong, Tall, large, medium, or short, Tiny or big, Seen or unseen, Near or distant, Born or to be born, May they all be happy. Let no one deceive another Or despise anyone anywhere; Let no one through anger or aversion Wish for others to suffer." As a mother would risk her own life To protect her child, her only child, So toward all beings should one Cultivate a boundless heart. With loving-kindness for the whole world should one Cultivate a boundless heart, Above, below, and all around Without obstruction, without hate and without ill-will. Standing or walking, sitting or lying down, Whenever one is awake, May one stay with this recollection Spiritually by chanting Om Namah Shivaya.This is called a sublime abiding, here and now. One who is virtuous, endowed with vision, Not taken by views, And having overcome all greed for sensual pleasure Will not be reborn again.
