Abstract

This paper explores the profound significance of the number 108—a sacred value deeply embedded in Hinduism—and reveals its startling connections to science, cosmology, biology, geometry, and ancient architecture. Through a detailed investigation, we demonstrate how this number forms the very foundation of life on Earth. The number 108 governs key astronomical ratios involving the Sun, Moon, and Earth, making solar eclipses and the stability of Earth’s tilt possible, both essential for sustaining life. Biologically, 108 regulates human breathing patterns and reproductive cycles, linking lunar movements to fertility and gestation. From a mathematical and geometrical perspective, 108 emerges from the interplay of two mystical numbers: 9 and 12—each with unique roles in sacred geometry, timekeeping, and human anatomy. Ancient temples, lingams, and even global religious symbolism are shown to encode this number. By unpacking the unity of ancient wisdom and modern science, this paper argues that 108 is not a random or mystical number, but a coded signature of intelligent cosmic design—a bridge between the spiritual and the scientific.
