Let's know the importance of 108 number and why it is so widely used in Sanatan. (1/14)

Let's begin with basics of life which is how many times we breathe.
108X100 during the day and 108x100 during the night for a healthy adult as per our ancient tantrik texts. (2/14)

In the modern science as well it is approximately 20000 breaths per day for a human being. That matches with the number mentioned above with a very minimal error margin. (3/14)

Now let's move to next instance which is about the reason why the Sun and Moon look similar in size from Planet earth despite the Sun being 400 times bigger than the moon. It all comes down to an equation.
The distance between Sun and Earth is approximately 150. (4/14)

46 Million KM divided by the diameter of the Sun which is 1.3927 Million KM results in 107. 7(on average) . (5/14)

That's very very close to 108 and again the same calculation for the distance between earth and moon(384400 KM) divided by diameter of moon(3474.2 KM) is approximately 110 and again close to 108. (6/14)

Surprising but these calculations lead to the strong influence of the number 108 in cosmic scale. Now it's a matter of serious thinking that if the distance between Sun and earth changes by just 10% that would end up in disaster like scorching heat or total iceage again. (7/14)

Same goes for the Moon. If the Moon comes 10% closer it would wreck havoc Tsunamis everywhere due to the very strong gravitational pull. (8/14)

And if it goes away by 10% the tilt of planet earth may get highly unstable resulting in irregular season and that could be catastrophic. Hence the conclusion is 108 or closer to this number is a very important factor for the Sun, (9/14)

Earth and Moon to maintain their positions and life on earth. This phenomenon is not seen in any other planet of the solar system and we are still searching sign of life on those planets. (10/14)

Moving on to the next equation which is 1^1 × 2^2 × 3^3 = 108
Also the number 108 can be formed as 12 Rashis (Zodiac signs) and Navagrah(9 planets). (11/14)

As we know NASA does not consider Pluto as a planet anymore but still there's a possible planet 9 with a very unusual orbit yet to be confirmed.
Shree yantra chakra has 54 intersections and 54 for Shiva and Shakti each resulting 54x2=108. (12/14)

Human body has 108 urja kendras as well.

Thank you for reading and let us know in the comments if you encounter any other instances of 108. (13/14)
