Why 108?

This number has significance across many disciplines, from math to astronomy and religion to philosophy:

  • 108 is a Harshad number–an integer divisible by the sum of its digits
  • the distance from both the sun and moon to the earth is 108 times their respective diameters
  • there are 108 marma points in the body–these are the junctions where two or more types of tissue meet
  • Mala prayer beads used in both Hinduism and Buddhism consists of 108 per strand 
  • Buddhist tradition says there are 108 earthly temptations a person must overcome to achieve nirvana; in Gnosticism, a person has 108 chances to transcend the material world; Hindus believe the Atman (inner self) goes through 108 stages of spiritual development
