” 108 1008 ” – the esoterica behind these numbers
Normal humans breathe about 10800 breaths in the first half of day – noon and the rest 10800 breaths at night – from this figure 108 is derived according to Indian traditions
but in reality , we breathe more than 21600 breaths per day
1008 is just a number which represents physical brain and its innumerable neurons as high as 100 billions which is what refered to as 1008 , 100008 and 10000008 and so on in Indian traditions
1008 – Shiva temples in India
1008 lingams carved in one Lingam – Sahasra Lingam
10000008 – one crore beads adorning Lingam etc
it represents brain in which Atman – SOul is seated deep inside pineal gland
