    Why is repeating the phrases 108 times so important?
    Repeating a mantra 108 times holds significance in various spiritual and religious traditions, especially in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Here are a few reasons why the number 108 is considered important:
    1. Sacred Number in Hinduism: In Hinduism, 108 is considered a sacred number. It is believed to represent the universe and the wholeness of existence. There are 108 Upanishads, 108 sacred sites (pithas), and 108 beads in a mala (prayer beads).
    2. Astronomical Significance: The distance between the Earth and the Sun is approximately 108 times the Sun's diameter, and the distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 108 times the Moon's diameter. This astronomical coincidence is often cited as a reason for the number's sacred status.
    3. Mathematical Significance: The number 108 is a Harshad number, which means it is divisible by the sum of its digits (1 + 0 + 8 = 9). Harshad means "joy-giver" in Sanskrit.
    4. Ayurveda: In Ayurveda, there are 108 Marma points, which are vital points of life force (prana) in the human body.
    5. Chakras and Energy Channels: There are said to be 108 energy lines (nadis) converging to form the heart chakra. This emphasizes the completeness and interconnectedness of the human energy system.
    6. Buddhism: In Buddhism, there are 108 defilements to overcome to achieve enlightenment. The number is also prominent in various Buddhist practices and rituals.
    7. Symbolism of 1, 0, and 8: The digits 1, 0, and 8 can be seen to represent one thing, nothing, and everything (infinity), respectively, which encapsulates the journey of spiritual realization.
    Repeating a mantra 108 times is thought to help practitioners internalize the mantra and its vibrations, aiding concentration, meditation, and spiritual growth.
