Okay- i red the theory - "The Egypt Connection by The Observer"
There he dig out one interesting thing about number 42.
I was at that time reading a book - "Signs and symbols" - I turn the next page and there is a very small article about "BUDDHA’S FOOTPRINT". ""All Buddhists accept the Buddha Footprint with its 108 Auspicious Illustrations."
I thought - were have a seen thin number ? - ring a bell - 108 minutes in the cabin.
4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108
So i go to the nice aunty google and ask here - whats so big about nr. 108? I got more that i expected. There was even a whole article about nr. 108 (http://www.salagram.net/108meaning.html)
I red it all , but the ending was the best.
SANATANA DHARMA
In a book by Khurana, the explanation closely mirrors the original Vedic justifications:
A circle has 360 degrees, which when multiplied by 60 gives us 21,600 minutes in a circle. 60 comes from the 60 'ghatis' which Sanatana Dharmiks believe in. One ghati is equal to 24 minutes and 60 ghatis come to 24 hours.
One ghati is divided into 60 parts or 'palas'.
So the 60 ghatis multiplied by 60 palasa comes to 3,600.
This is further multiplied by 60 (becase a pala contains 60 vipalas) which gives us 21,600.
Half of this is for the day, and the other half for the night. So, 21,600
divided by 2 gives us 10,800. For practical purposes, we use 108. Using the
number 108 helps us coordinate the rhythm of time and space & we remain in harmony with the spiritual powers of nature.
Dharma , time, space - sounds familiar :)
So my theory is that this is the meaning of the number 108 - to keep us in harmony with the time and space. We already know the meaning of nr. 42, maybe anyone knows what is the secret of the rest of the numbers ?
P.S. - if this has already discussed then i am sorry !
