1. Freedom from pain and suffering in the external world. Blown out, as in a candle. It is composed of three phones:
Ni : out, away from, without
Va: blowing, as in blowing in the wind or smelling
Na: never, do not, should not
Nirvāṇa is a term used in Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. It refers to the profound peace of mind that is acquired with moksha, liberation from samsara, or release from a state of suffering, after an often lengthy period of bhāvanā or sādhanā.
2. The best rock band ever fronted by Kurt Cobain.

The nirvana of the Buddhists is shunyata, emptiness, but the nirvana of the Gita means peace and that is why it is described as brahma-nirvana oneness with Brahman.

one of the best rock bands of all time. kurt cobain, krist novoselic and dave grohl had tried and suceeded in what so many other bands had failed to do...make music that appealed to a large variety of people. even the vast majority of hip-hop and rap fans can't deny that "smells like teen spirit" was in a league of its own.
it just wasnt smells like teen spirit, it was the other, more "unknown" songs that kurt wrote that appealed to the disenfranchised youth in particular. look at the lyrics in something in the way...i bet you any money 99% of teenagers have thought about being in a place like what kurt is describing...a cold, wet, unrelenting homeless existence. by the way, it is untrue that kurt himself had been homeless, sleeping on the banks of the wishkah river.
truly one of the best and most influential bands of all time

THE grunge band. The band that broke the scene wide open, and placed it into the mainstream. The band that made grunge a place for all of the misfit kids (punks, goths, stoners, etc.) to go, and could relate to the lyrics. The band that said "Fuck you" to the norm, and officially put an end to the 80s.

one of the best bands ever. People can say they're over rated, and they may well be. But no one can say they hate them because if Nirvana hadnt excisted then at least half of the good music today wouldnt, they revolusionised music and delayed the attack of hip hop shit.
What i love about Nirvana is the meaning to the lyris, you can relate to his words.
So all i can say is, if its your thing then get the album but if not, whatever you do, think before you diss!!

One of the greatest bands ever formed. The Gods of Grunge. They have given inspiration and strength to a whole generation of kids, even though they are no longer together, their music will stay in our hearts and minds forever.
Even though I was only nine when Nirvana played in 1993 I was still the only third grader singing "Rape Me".
Kurt - RIP I miss and love you
Krist - Volim Te
David - I Love You
Kurt - RIP I miss and love you

The ultimate goal of the Bhuddist religion, in which one escapes eternal suffering by being reincarnated as Kurt Cobain.
