Why do people chant Ram Ram twice

Whenever people meet other, they wish Ram Ram to each other. The reason behind saying or wishing Ram Ram twice has a logical meaning.

In Hindu alphabets, R - is the 27th letter, A is the second vowel, and M is the 25th letter.

The total of R+A+M = 27+2+25 = 54.

So when some one says Ram Ram the total is 54+54 = 108.

Any Japam or chanting is complete when it is done 108 times.
