Yeapp,, i m an also idiot! LOST watcher :).. Don t think like
that,if u ve never watched. I was one of the biggest opponent of this
tv show before i watched , cose everyone was mentioning.. I don t like
"best sellers" like most of you..But taste the LOST, cose u ll do it
sooner or later and ll be upset:)
It s the most attractive point of LOST that stories are mostly based
on a mystic and unknown beliefs. Especially during the second season,
numbers were so popular ( 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42), and also the total of
these numbers,, 108 . Now i ll tell about u the 108 meaning in the
religions,languages and beliefs of east and west.. It s so interesting..
The Significance of the number 108
The Indian Subcontinent rosary or set of mantra counting has 108
beads. 108 has been a sacred number in the Indian Subcontinent for a
very long time. This number is explained in many different ways.
The ancient Indians were excellent mathematicians and 108 may be the
product of a precise mathematical operation (e.g. 1 power 1 x 2 power 2
x 3 power 3 = 108) which was thought to have special numerological
significance.
Powers of 1, 2, and 3 in math: 1 to 1st power=1; 2 to 2nd power=4 (2x2); 3 to 3rd power=27 (3x3x3). 1x4x27=108
Sanskrit alphabet: There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet. Each has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti. 54 times 2 is 108.
Sri Yantra: On the Sri Yantra there are marmas where three
lines intersect, and there are 54 such intersections. Each
intersections has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti qualities.
54 x 2 equals 108. Thus, there are 108 points that define the Sri
Yantra as well as the human body.
9 times 12: Both of these numbers have been said to have
spiritual significance in many traditions. 9 times 12 is 108. Also, 1
plus 8 equals 9. That 9 times 12 equals 108.
Heart Chakra: The chakras are the intersections of energy
lines, and there are said to be a total of 108 energy lines converging
to form the heart chakra. One of them, sushumna leads to the crown
chakra, and is said to be the path to Self-realization.
Marmas: Marmas or marmastanas are like energy intersections
called chakras, except have fewer energy lines converging to form them.
There are said to be 108 marmas in the subtle body.
Time: Some say there are 108 feelings, with 36 related to the past, 36 related to the present, and 36 related to the future.
Astrology: There are 12 constellations, and 9 arc segments
called namshas or chandrakalas. 9 times 12 equals 108. Chandra is moon,
and kalas are the divisions within a whole.
Planets and Houses: In astrology, there are 12 houses and 9 planets. 12 times 9 equals 108.
Gopis of Krishna: In the Krishna tradition, there were said to be 108 gopis or maid servants of Krishna.
1, 0, and 8: 1 stands for God or higher Truth, 0 stands for
emptiness or completeness in spiritual practice, and 8 stands for
infinity or eternity.
Sun and Earth: The diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth.
Numerical scale: The 1 of 108, and the 8 of 108, when added
together equals 9, which is the number of the numerical scale, i.e. 1,
2, 3 ... 10, etc., where 0 is not a number.
Smaller divisions: The number 108 is divided, such as in half, third, quarter, or twelfth, so that some malas have 54, 36, 27, or 9 beads.
Jain: In the Jain religion, 108 are the combined virtues of
five categories of holy ones, including 12, 8, 36, 25, and 27 virtues
respectively.
Sikh: The Sikh tradition has a mala of 108 knots tied in a string of wool, rather than beads.
Chinese: The Chinese Buddhists and Taoists use a 108 bead
mala, which is called su-chu, and has three dividing beads, so the mala
is divided into three parts of 36 each.
Stages of the soul: Said that Atman, the human soul or center goes through 108 stages on the journey.
Meru: This is a larger bead, not part of the 108. It is not
tied in the sequence of the other beads. It is the quiding bead, the
one that marks the beginning and end of the mala.
Dance: There are 108 forms of dance in the Indian traditions.
Pythagorean: The nine is the limit of all numbers, all others
existing and coming from the same. ie: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make
up an infinite amount of numbers.
