Why 108?

The number 108 appears everywhere in Vedic tradition — from the 108 beads of a japa mala, to the 108 Upanishads, to the 108 sacred sites of India.

Cosmic Geometry

• The distance from Earth to the Sun is roughly 108 times the Sun's diameter
• The distance from Earth to the Moon is roughly 108 times the Moon's diameter
• The Sun's diameter is roughly 108 times the Earth's diameter

In the Body

Traditional yogic anatomy speaks of 108 marma points and 108 nadis converging at the heart.

Chanting 108 times aligns you with this cosmic geometry — a small act of remembrance that you are woven into the whole.
