The Nirvanashatakam, the six educational verses to freedom or nirvana by Shankara (also Sankara or Shree Shankaracharya). Performed by Vishwanath at the Yoga Vidya Ashram in Germany. In each stanza, Shankara tells us what we are NOT. We are not the body, we are not the intellect, we are not our thoughts and we are not our prana. Instead we are Sacchidananda (also Satchidananda) thus Absolute Bliss, absolute Knowledge and absolute Existence. Only Brahman, the Absolute is real, everything else is a temporary dream or Maya, the illusion. More about the Vedanta philosophy can be found at our Yoga Vidya Internet pages on Vedanta.
