Actually it was earlier attched to Hindu priests or saints..and it was considered tht 108 SANT would be the one who have read all 108 main granths of Hindu Religion... I dont have the total count...but its like 4-Vedas 6-Shastaras 27-Manu Smritiyaan 18-Puranas 18-upnishads and some small upnishads also etc and this same thing was adopted by sikhs in saying brahmgiaani shreeman sant baba 108 ... so n so.. Its just what I have heard from someone..No proofs

This is a saakhi from Bhai veer singh ji's "Kalgidhar Chamatkaar" and this saakhi is when Guru sahib ji was in shehar paawnta(now paunta sahib). There was an old man in shiwalik mountains of himachal who waited for many yrs for guru ji to come to his hut and he had ben given a description by his teacher tht Guru had long arms, so wen guru sahib went to fulfil his wishes he recognized Guru ji by long arms. dont remember the name of the saakhi
