In astrology = 12 house and 9 planets =108
108 Goddess names
According to yogic tradition, there are 108 pithas, or sacred sites, throughout India. And there are also 108 Upanishads and 108 marma points, or sacred places of the body.
108 energy lines converge to form the Heart chakra, one of them the Sushumna leads to the crown chakra, the path of realisation.
If someone is able to reach a state of calmness during meditation whereby they can have just 108 breaths in a day, it is said that enlightenment will come
The Thread represents the bond that we have to the Universe. It holds the beads together, it is the thread of the Universe. The beads come from the Universe and so do we. The thread symbolises that everything is interconnected and is without separateness.
The knots placed between the beads ensure that the beads do not touch each other and therefore they don't distract us during meditation with a sound.
The knot also symbolise our connection to the divine Universe and helps us to keep our distractions separate from ourselves in the same way that the beads do not touch each other.
The Guru bead is the 109th bead. This bead symbolises our Teacher, the Divine or God.
A mala usually has a tassel hanging from it. The tassel is considered the symbol of a thousand lotus petals.T I was guided to use the 2 small 3 beads hanging to symbolise the masculine and the feminine, the relationship we have with our higher self and the union with our soul.
