Since times immemorial, practice of chanting mantras or japas is followed by different people and traditions. Mantras are vibrations exhibiting energies at different frequencies. Japa are recited to harmonize any negative effects due to the position of our planets as well as to enhance the positive effects from the 9 moving planets.
Why do we recite mantras or japas 108 times ?
108 not only affects the human body but the whole solar system. According to astrology the Sun and the Moon have huge effects on humans due to the Earth’s gravitational forces. Now we have 9 planets revolving around the 12 constellations that bring about various changes – negative as well as positive. It is believed that if we recite the mantras 108 times it will reduce this negativity with its positive energy.
