Why 108 Beads in a Mala
Meaning of 108 beads on a mala
by Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati
On a mala, or set of
mantra counting beads, there are generally 108 beads, or some fraction of that
number. The question often arises: Why are there 108 beads on a mala?
Below are some of the many reasons that have been given for
having 108 beads on a mala, as well as a few other points of interest. None of
these reasons are being promoted here as more or less true than the others.
However, you may notice that 108 appears to be somewhat like a road map of
reality in general, and the human in particular.
Regardless of the meaning of 108, it is important that if a
mala is used to count mantras, the mantra be remembered with sincerity,
devotion, feeling, and full attention. (More on use of mantras)
9 times 12: Both of these numbers have been said to have
spiritual significance in many traditions. 9 times 12 is 108. Also, 1 plus 8
equals 9. That 9 times 12 equals 108.
Powers of 1, 2, and 3 in math: 1 to 1st power=1; 2 to 2nd
power=4 (2x2); 3 to 3rd power=27 (3x3x3). 1x4x27=108
Harshad number: 108 is a Harshad number, which is an integer
divisible by the sum of its digits (Harshad is from Sanskrit, and means
"great joy")
Desires: There are said to be 108 earthly desires in
mortals.
Lies: There are said to be 108 lies that humans tell.
Delusions: There are said to be 108 human delusions or forms
of ignorance.
Heart Chakra: The chakras are the intersections of energy
lines, and there are said to be a total of 108 energy lines converging to form
the heart chakra. One of them, sushumna leads to the crown chakra, and is said
to be the path to Self-realization.
Sanskrit alphabet: There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit
alphabet. Each has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti. 54 times 2 is 108.
Pranayama: If one is able to be so calm in meditation as to
have only 108 breaths in a day, enlightenment will come.
Upanishads: Some say there are 108 Upanishads, texts of the
wisdom of the ancient sages.
Sri Yantra: On the Sri Yantra there are marmas where three
lines intersect, and there are 54 such intersections. Each intersections has
masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti qualities. 54 times 2 equals 108.
Thus, there are 108 points that define the Sri Yantra as well as the human
body.
Pentagon: The angle formed by two adjacent lines in a
pentagon equals 108 degrees.
Marmas: Marmas or marmasthanas are like energy intersections
called chakras, except have fewer energy lines converging to form them. There
are said to be 108 marmas in the subtle body.
Time: Some say there are 108 feelings, with 36 related to
the past, 36 related to the present, and 36 related to the future.
8 extra beads: In doing a practice of counting the number of
repetitions of the mala, 100 are counted as completed. The remaining are said
to cover errors or omissions. The 8 are also said to be an offering to God and
Guru.
Chemistry: Interestingly, there are about 115 elements known
on the periodic table of the elements. Most of those, around or higher than the
number 100 only exist in the laboratory, and some for only thousandths of a
second. The number that naturally exist on Earth is around 100.
Astrology: There are 12 constellations, and 9 arc segments
called namshas or chandrakalas. 9 times 12 equals 108. Chandra is moon, and
kalas are the divisions within a whole.
River Ganga: The sacred River Ganga spans a longitude of 12
degrees (79 to 91), and a latitude of 9 degrees (22 to 31). 12 times 9 equals
108.
Planets and Houses: In astrology, there are 12 houses and 9
planets. 12 times 9 equals 108.
Goddess names: There are said to be 108 Indian goddess
names.
Gopis of Krishna: In the Krishna tradition, there were said
to be 108 gopis or maid servants of Krishna.
1, 0, and 8: Some say that 1 stands for God or higher Truth,
0 stands for emptiness or completeness in spiritual practice, and 8 stands for
infinity or eternity.
Sun and Earth: The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the
diameter of the Earth. The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 108 times the
diameter of the Sun.
Moon and Earth: The average distance of the Moon from the
Earth is 108 times the diameter of the Moon.
Silver and the moon: In astrology, the metal silver is said
to represent the moon. The atomic weight of silver is 108.
Numerical scale: The 1 of 108, and the 8 of 108, when added
together equals 9, which is the number of the numerical scale, i.e. 1, 2, 3 ...
10, etc., where 0 is not a number.
Meditations: Some say there are 108 styles of meditation.
Breath: Tantra estimates the average number of breaths per
day at 21,600, of which 10,800 are solar energy, and 10,800 are lunar energy.
Multiplying 108 by 100 is 10,800. Multiplying 2 x 10,800 equals 21,600.
Paths to God: Some suggest that there are 108 paths to God.
Smaller divisions: The number 108 is divided, such as in
half, third, quarter, or twelfth, so that some malas have 54, 36, 27, or 9
beads.
Hinduism: 108 is said to refer to the number of Hindu
deities. Some say that each of the deities has 108 names.
Islam: The number 108 is used in Islam to refer to God.
Jain: In the Jain religion, 108 are the combined virtues of
five categories of holy ones, including 12, 8, 36, 25, and 27 virtues
respectively.
Sikh: The Sikh tradition has a mala of 108 knots tied in a
string of wool, rather than beads.
Buddhism: Some Buddhists carve 108 small Buddhas on a walnut
for good luck. Some ring a bell 108 times to celebrate a new year. There are
said to be 108 virtues to cultivate and 108 defilements to avoid.
Chinese: The Chinese Buddhists and Taoists use a 108 bead
mala, which is called su-chu, and has three dividing beads, so the mala is
divided into three parts of 36 each. Chinese astrology says that there are 108
sacred stars.
Stages of the soul: Said that Atman, the human soul or
center goes through 108 stages on the journey.
Meru: This is a larger bead, not part of the 108. It is not
tied in the sequence of the other beads. It is the quiding bead, the one that
marks the beginning and end of the mala.
