Thank you very much for raising this important question. Bhanu Kirna prabhu posted a link of desiretree where the significance of number 108 explained clearly (http://www.iskcondesiretree.com/profiles/blogs/108-the-significance...). I have read that posting many times and referred to other people too. I just want to let you know that Krishna likes inquisitive devotees like you as He says in Bhagavad Gita:
BG 7.16: O best among the Bhāratas, four kinds of pious men begin to render devotional service unto Me — the distressed, the desirer of wealth, the inquisitive, and he who is searching for knowledge of the Absolute.
BG 7.17: Of these, the one who is in full knowledge and who is always engaged in pure devotional service is the best. For I am very dear to him, and he is dear to Me.
BG 7.18: All these devotees are undoubtedly magnanimous souls, but he who is situated in knowledge of Me I consider to be just like My own self. Being engaged in My transcendental service, he is sure to attain Me, the highest and most perfect goal.
