The practice of chanting the “Ashtottara Shatanamavali,” also known as the “108 name of Vishnu,” dates back to ancient Hindu scriptures. In Hinduism, 108 represents both existence and various aspects of existence that need protection and maintenance by divine forces like Vishnu. Using epithets and attributes that highlight different aspects of his divine nature as the protector of creation by various aspects of his divine nature, as seen through the names of Lord Vishnu are said to symbolize this role within.
