There are 108 beads in a mala and this number is considered as sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is also sacred in yogic tradition.

In Sanskrit there are 54 letters and each has masculine and feminine energy. So if we multiply 54 with 2 it comes as 108.

One another believe says we have a total of 108 feelings divided in three equal parts for past, present and future.

There are 9 planets, which is Nava Graha. The planets move around 12 constellations. If we multiply both, it comes as 108.

Also, the diameter of Sun is 108 times more than that of our Earth.
