Significance of 108

I have come to believe that 108 is a very special number. There may be a longer list of significance. But i am sharing some very interesting facts:
 - 108 connects the Sun, Moon, and Earth: The average distance of the Sun and the Moon to Earth is 108 times their respective diameters
 - 108 Puranas and 108 Upanishads in Hindu Ancient Literature/Philosophy
 - 108 Shakti-Peeth (where Sati's body fell on earth)
 - 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra: The chakras are the intersections of energy lines that connects one with the universe.
 - 108 is 12 times 9: River Ganga spans a longitude of 12 degrees (79 to 91) and latitude of 9 degrees (22 to 31)
 - 108: where 1 stands for One God, 0 stands for 'Shunya' the eternal circle of completeness and 8 stands for infinity. God is infinite completeness.
 - 2 Sin (108/2) = ΓΈ, the Golden Ratio. Anything that is organized per this Golden Ratio appeals to human eye
