Everything in the world is energy vibrating at various frequencies, including the human body itself. Nine also relates to the world of form and objects. Mathematically, nine is a perfect square number. In Hinduism, nine is associated with Durga Devi (Nav Durga and Navraatri). We are microcosmic representations of the universe it relates directly to us as human beings.įrom a numerological perspective, the numbers 1-0-8 add up to nine. These are eight presiding deities:Įight represents the entire creation. The Shiv Maha Puraan states that the universe consists of eight forms of Lord Shiva. That infinite manifests itself in the form of Param Shiva. The symbol zero represents that state of nothingness, the indefinable and infinite unmanifest, which is the substratum of all existence.įor the number one to exist, there must be creation as it implies a point in space. Nothingness is a very difficult concept for the human mind to grasp as we are born into a world of forms, objects and time. With reabsorption, absolutely nothing exists.
Destruction signals a change in the order of things, but matter still exists. In Shiv Maha Puraan, there is the concept of destruction and reabsorption. The zero placed in the middle of 108 gives the one and the eight their value mathematically. The concept of zero is extremely important in mathematics. A prime number has two factors only, itself and one. Carl Sagan, an astronomer, tried to analyse prime numbers in order to understand them from a point of view of creation. If we look at the digits themselves, 1 – 0 – 8, the number one implies unity. When we chant our mantras 108 times, the result is the activation of the energy vortices and so that we can raise ourselves energetically and spiritually. There are also 72,000 channels of bioenergy ( nadi) crisscrossing through the body, which are connected to the chakras. In the microcosm of the individual, there are seven major energy vortices ( chakras) and two minor ones. ’ In other words, the outer world is reflected in the internal world. The Vedas declare, Yatha Pinde, Tatha Brahmande, ‘As in the microcosm, so in the macrocosm.
There’s a cosmic correlation between the planets, and 108 appears to be a significant number. With respect to the moon, if you look at the diameter of the moon (3,476 km) and divide it by its distance from earth, about ¼ million miles, the result is 108. If you divide the distance of the earth from the sun by 864,000, the result is 108. The diameter of the sun is said to be 864,000 miles. The earth is about 93 million miles from the sun. If we examine the external world, it is instructive to note that there is a numerical correlation between the earth and the other planets. The planets have great relevance to Hinduism. The number 108, for example, is a very auspicious number with many dimensions. In Hinduism, numbers have a significant and meaningful role in our rituals and prayers.
