Can we chant a mantra 27 instead of 108 times?
First of all let's all know why 27 ? or double of it 54? There is specific reason behind 108.
In human body there are 72000 nadi's, and it is divided into 112 chakras , out of that 4 chakras are referred to out of body (external ). so only 108 chakras are within our body.
Chanting mantra is to upsurge our energy level constantly in higher state so that we can tackle our daily based challenges. So sufficiently to energize our body all 108 chakras need to be awaken in proper manner. I mean if we went by that far we are in god level any way. But we should always focused to do so.
From religious prospective , chanting is also a dedication to God by bhakti (Devotion). Best mean of bhakti is a kind of Sacrifice of ourself by our mind our bhava(Intention).
Lets say some one gave you a hand with 27 piece of shining diamond and in another hand is full of 108 piece which option seems better. Very sensibly we choose 108 pieces no? so bigger is better.
If it is possible chant minimum 108 times.less number is less beneficial . If some time we are bound to urgency then just do your prior karma and , then do it back when you got time.
But if our bhakti(to ourself) and devotion is so deep we don't count numbers , it continues with every breath we inhale.
