So the vibrations of the mantras produce good effects on ourselves and the surroundings. It is generally chanted many times in hundreds or even thousands. The idea is the more number of times you chant, the mind transcends deeper into meditation. Typically it is chanted 108 times. 9 planets going round 12 constellation produce 9 * 12 = 108 effects or type of vibrations. To enhance the impact of good vibrations and reduce the impact of malefic vibrations, typically it is chanted 108 times. ( e.g; There are 108 beads in a string to help chant and meditate)
