To begin with the introduction, I want to throw light on the creation of God which is truly unique and complete in itself. When I say complete, it means “poorna” in Hindi. The universe, can never be incomplete or contain any kind of flaw. I think everyone would agree with this. Now, let’s highlight the connection of the number 108 and the universe.

It is a magic number in Math and the largest one-digit number. It is a complete number for spiritual enhancement, and also known as poornaank or a whole number. Similarly, 108 represents the wholeness of the entire existence in Hinduism/ Sanatan Dharma.
