SinghMunda Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hey, what do u mean 108 manke, please explain more... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms514 Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Sat Sri Akal: Cause 107 was taken... :roll: Actually, it denotes the number of religious books and texts the person has read...kinda like a nerdy bragging right that some Sants have. Some family names come from this (ex. Trivedi - their ancestor read three Vedas). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Javanmard Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 If you convert the number 108 in letters of the Sanskrit alphabet (devanagari) it means "Jaya" :victory! That's the historical reason behind 108 in the names of saints and the number of beeds on the mala. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugermach Singh Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Has it not got something to do with breathing aswell?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Javanmard Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 No not really, the yogic shastras use other numbers, but it's true that some pranayama exercises use 108 but that's because it is already a sacred number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ideal Singh Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 You can repeat any Mantra (sacred syllable), such as pure Om or Om Namo Narayanaya, Sri Ram, Sita Ram, Sri Ram Jaya Ram Jaya Jaya Ram, Om Namah Sivaya, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya, Om Saravanabhavaya Namah, Hari Om, or Gayatri (a sacred Vedic Mantra), according to your taste or inclination, from 108 times to 21,600 times daily. Devotees of Christ may repeat the name Jesus or Hail Mary, Mother of Jesus. Parsis, Sikhs and Muslims may select a name or Mantra from the Zend Avesta, Granth Sahib or Koran respectively Source : http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/teachings/20instr.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tSingh Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Gurfateh I'd heard that according to the Vedic literature, 10, 28 and 108 are auspicious for repeating mantram. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narsingha Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Also, Shivji Maharaj has 108 names too I'm too lazy to type them up here :roll: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugermach Singh Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 108 names?? No wonder they have so many gods. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narsingha Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 108 represents universal harmony and the elements thats give rise to all living things (Sargun) within Sanatan ideology. It also represents the aspect of Kaal (time), the cycle that determines the "seen" reality we live in. ..plus it looks good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 108 names?? No wonder they have so many gods. lol This reminds of an tuk in dasam guroo durbar- Ek shiva, ek paya, ek gayaie, ek fir payie ram-chandar biii kaie avatar bii enaik haie, I dont know the exact verse there are two more lines after that. Note: I can not find an refrence because i was listening to baba ishar singh maharaj divans. Thats where i heard it. I have fall faith in my swami. So this tuk has to be in our dasam granth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narsingha Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Actually, Vishnu has over 1000 names depending upon what attributes of Vishnu ur referring to.. (cant be asked to type them all up...) btw, having lots of names for someone u consider worthy of worship doesnt mean one automatically belives in "many Gods"...if that was the case, we ourselves wud be believing in infinate number of Gods should anyone read Akaal Ustat or Jaap Sahib :wink: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugermach Singh Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 i'll try to find it. i'd like to know where else comes b4 and after. narsingha you wrote elements thats give rise to all living things (Sargun) would that be Akaal Puruk?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 On back to the topic now, I think we need to research more into numbers like- 108, 111. I have also heard from this premi. That being called 111 means that you have beaten your 111 veins in your body.. and that is a stage where you become bhramgyani...in my opnion what he means also being in that state you can sort of control your body whats happening inside you.. thats some psycho stuff man... :shock: :shock: Also i heard from different sources 111 means puran mahapursh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Also i got this from veer ji says the same thing: There are 108 indrian (veins) in our body that produce desires. Sant 108 is the one who has control over all of these 108 indrian, thus has killed all his/her desires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 How would one control them? By conquering their desires? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
