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. dAsan K. Sreekrishna Tatachar ------------------------ Yahoo!
