Here is some sweet stories of info on 108
.. Srila Jiva Goswami explains that in the afternoon Sri Krsña dressed Himself in new clothing and then went out to call the cows home. Srila Visvanätha Cakravarti Thakur gives the following information about the transcendental cows of Våndävana: “For each of the four colors of cows—white, red, black and yellow—there are twenty-five subdivisions, making a total of one hundred colors. And such qualities as being colored like sandalwood-pulp tilaka [speckled] or having a head shaped like a mrdanga drum create eight further groups.
To count these 108 groups of cows, distinguished by color and form, Sri Krsña is using a string of 108 jewel-beads....
“Thus when Sri Krsña calls out ‘Hey Dhavalé [the name of a white cow],’ a whole group of white cows come forward, and when He calls ‘Haàsé, Candané, Gaìgä, Muktä ‘and so on, the twenty-four other groups of white cows come. The reddish cows are called Aruëé, Kuìkuma, Sarasvaté, etc., the blackish ones Çyämalä, Dhümalä, Yamunä, etc., and the yellowish ones Pétä, Piìgalä, Haritälikä, etc. Those in the group with tilaka marks on their foreheads are called Citritä, Citra-tilakä, Dérgha-tilakä and Tiryak-tilakä, and there are groups known as Mådaìga-mukhé [mådaìga-head], Siàha-mukhé [lion-head] and so on.
“Thus being called by name, the cows are coming forward, and Sri Krsña, thinking that when it is time to bring them back from the forest none should be forgotten, is counting them on His jewel-beads.”
Next 108 story
In pure devotional service one simply serves the Supreme Personality of Godhead as a matter of duty, without reason and without being impeded by material conditions. That is called suddha-sattva, or vasudeva, because in that stage the Supreme Person, Krsna, is revealed in the heart of the devotee. Srila Jiva Goswami has very nicely described this vasudeva, or suddha-sattva, in his Bhagavat-sandarbha.
He explains that astottara-sata (108) is added to the name of the spiritual master to indicate one who is situated in suddha-sattva, or in the transcendental state of vasudeva. The word vasudeva is also used for other purposes. For example, vasudeva also means one who is everywhere, or all-pervading. The sun is also called vasudeva-sabditam. The word vasudeva may be utilized for different purposes, but whatever purpose we adopt, Väsudeva means the all-pervading or localized Supreme Personality of Godhead. In Bhagavad-gitä (7.19) it is also stated, väsudevaù sarvam iti. Factual realization is to understand Väsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and surrender unto Him. Vasudeva is the ground wherein Väsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is revealed. When one is free from the contamination of material nature and is situated in pure Krsna consciousness, or in the vasudeva state, Väsudeva, the Supreme Person, is revealed. This state is also called kaivalya, which means “pure consciousness.” Jnanam sättvikam kaivalyam. When one is situated in pure, transcendental knowledge, one is situated in kaivalya. Therefore vasudeva also means kaivalya, a word which is generally used by impersonalists. Impersonal kaivalya is not the last stage of realization, but in Krsna consciousness kaivalya, when one understands the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then one is successful. In that pure state, by hearing, chanting, remembering, etc., because of the development of knowledge of the
Science of Krsna , one can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. All these activities are under the guidance of the internal energy of the Supreme Lord.
There are many other histories and Holy pastimes that confirm the the greatness and personal conception of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Those pastimes are being eternally exibited on Earth to this day and those who are blessed and have pure heart and consciousness are able to see those loving pastimes of the Supreme Person and His Associates.
