Ms. Vatsala,

One way to look at 1008 significance is as follows:

There are 7 outer limits or paridhis and 21 inner limits within which we live 
as per puruSHa sUktam (saptAsyAsan paridhayah, trissapta samidah kRetAh). 
Together they make up 7+21=28

Seven outer limits are:
(Five elements: Earth, water, wind, fire,space; together with day and night. 
These  govern our 7 outer limits). 
The 21 inner limitsare: 
5 jnAnEndriyams (ability to see, taste, touch, hear and smell);
5 karmEndriyams (to grasp, to walk, to speak,to pee and to poop) 

5 vital breats (prANa, apAna, vyAna, udAna and smAna)

4 inner subtleties (antahkaraNam): mind (manah), intellect (buddhih), ego 
(ahankAram), and consciences (chittam)
2 inclinations: dharmam (Good inclinations)
and adharmam (bad inclinations)

We lead our life yagna relentlessly
(nahi kaschit xaNamapi jAtu tiSHTatyakarma kRet- as per BhagavadgItA) year 
around (12 months- dwAdasha mAsAh samvatsarah).

We are always under the influence of three gUNas
sattva, rajas and tamas(trai guNya vishyA vEda- as per BhagavadgItA).

Thus: 28 (paridhis)x12(months)x3(guNas)=1008

I am sure there are 1008 other ways of looking at this!

dAsan,

K. Sreekrishna Tatachar
