Answer
1. It helps overcome "Agnyana' (ignorance) and connect to the Supreme.
2. The 'Jiva' (individual consciousness) goes through 108 stages in the process of evolution and finally attains liberation. Chanting of a mantra 108 times is the symbolic representation of transgressing these stages with the final aim of liberation.
3. He who flies up or comes down does not exist in Samadhi. Let go of this useless penchant for Siddhi-s and first realize your true self which occupies all space and time and has nowhere to fly or move. The infinite universe itself is within you who has no boundaries.
