Recently I've been getting questions about why should we chant Mantras 108 times?? Great question!
There are actually many reasons why we chant Mantras 108 times. A few explanations are:
1. It is believed that there are 108 energy channels that lead to the Heart Chakra and one of the energy lines from the heart chakra leads to the Crown Chakra.
2. There are 108 Unpanishads that the Hindu Sages wrote.
3. The Sanskrit alphabet contains 54 letters. Each of the 54 letters have a masculine meaning and a feminine meaning of Shiv (Masculine) and Shakti (Feminine), 54 x 2 = 108.
4. There are 12 zodiac signs and 9 planets, 12 x 9= 108.
These are just few explanations of why we chant mantras 108 times and how our meditation tunes us with the Universe!
