Hi, i'd like to know what is the significance of 108 in kundalini yoga ? thanks so much ! philippe roset, nd (montreal, quebec, canada)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Holy to many: 108 is considered a number with special spiritual significance in hindu and buddhist traditions and Kundalini yoga has hindu roots, but there is no single agreed-upon reason. For many possible explanations see http://humanityhealing.Net/2011/08/the-mystic-meaning-of-the-number-108/ and http://www.Swamij.Com/108.Htm.
