108

The number 108 in Hinduism

The Vedic system believes that 108 represent the universe or supreme.  Sati’s body split into 108 pieces on hearing Daksha insulting her husband Lord Shiva. The list grows as we dig into scriptures. 
Apart from this the distance between the earth and the sun equals about 108 times the sun’s diameter.
