Dear Bhagavathas,
Couple of other ways of looking at the significance of 108:
Our body is considered a city with 9 gates
(nava dwAre purE dEhi). Number 108 could mean seeking year round (dwAdasha
mAsAA samvatsarah: 12 months in a year)protection of the 9 gates (12X9=108).
Also there are 27 naxatrAs(Ashvini to rEvati), each divided into 4 quarters
(pAdAs)making up to 27X4=108.
