What is spritual nirvana?
Asked by Wiki User
Answer
Nirvania is just a beatiful magical land in Dharmic religions, which is simply made up a massive ocean of golden souls(atmans/jivas) looking like candel flames. It is the true home,free of suffering and problems for the soul, where it lives peacfully in such great sleep it takes no notice of its surroundings!
Nirvania can also mean when the soul escapes the horrible and fake cycle of life and death in maya,after its human life and is freeded by the sant/Satguru and taken back to its home called Nirvania. Moskah is another word to describe this process.
Source;The journey of the soul by Radha Soami Beas
Nirvana means the release from suffering and rebirth that brings inner peace. The origin of the word Nirvana seems to come from a word that means "blown out" or "cool" suggesting the fires of desire have been extinguished.

Was Kurt Cobain murderd?
Asked by Wiki User
This is a highly debated issue. However, if you had read the Kurt Cobain Journals, you would know that he was a very depressed individual. He had also tried to commit suicide before, and had thought about it a lot. Through this information, my best assumption is that he did commit suicide. Evidence, though, can point to his death being a homicide. Before he died, he shot up on heroin. The amount of heroin in his bloodstream would've prevented him from pulling the trigger of the 20-gauge shotgun, let alone pick it up. People also believe that he was able to handle that much due to how much he took. Also, no fingerprint was found on the shotgun. The suicide note did not have only Cobain's handwriting.
How much money did Kurt cobain earn?
Asked by Wiki User
no enough, he ended up killing himself if i recall. he had rights to 96% of the royalties of nirvana but im sure he split it all equally between krist and dave. he died with a mansion and a complete collection of guns, not so ironic but there. im sure he had much more than the average bear if that's what you mean.

Does Kurt Cobain believe in God?
Asked by Wiki User
There was a point in his teenage years when Kurt was tremendously religious. But he was more of an "agnostic". Kurt Cobain was baptized when he was 17.
In a way he believed in a God because in his journals he pleaded with God about his addictions.
his religions swayed more towards Buddhism and jainism, his suicide note states at the beginning: "dear budda"
What is the best Nirvana song?
Asked by Wiki User
Answers to this question are subject to opinion, however, the most popular song by Nirvana was "Smells Like Teen Spirit", off of their Nevermind album. (Which was their second official release). But this album was not Kurt Cobain's favorite album, so Smells Like Teen Spirit was probably not his favorite song.
Other opinions:
- Drain You; it was Kurty's favourite to play live. The best way to figure out a band's best song is to ask the band themselves.
- Lithium
- Actually, The best song is "Smells Like Teen Spirit". After all, It was the # 1 song of the 90's!
- If you actually compare all the nirvana songs Come as you are is their best all around, teen spirit was the single that got them their fame but when it comes to the songs themselves C.A.Y.A. is the best!
- You can't really know what's the best Nirvana song. But it is NOT Smells like Teen Spirit. If you want to really know Nirvana,You have to get all their albums,Including the Unplugged, Nirvana didn't want that fame that Smells like teen spirit got them. They liked being underground. Cause they were touring even before Nevermind. People liked them. They made music and people liked it, But at that time (1989) They weren't famous
- Well, I love many of their songs especially rape me and drain you but i wouldn't know what song you like many ppl think a different song is cool
- I love all of their songs all of them have been my favorite at one point lithium. come as you are, Polly dumb, very ape, you know your right, in bloom, smells like teen spirit, heart shaped box, and rape me are some that come to mind at the moment.
- I'm probably the only one who thinks this, but i think drain you or lounge act, both from nevermind, is their best song.
- Almost every nirvana song is one of the best of all time in my opinion, but i would have to say either sappy, marigold (YES THIS IS AN ORIGINAL NIRVANA SONG, NOT FOO FIGHTERS), or aero zeppelin
- In my opinion i think Lounge Act by far becaues it got Kurt with a good vooice them him witha shouting vioce and everthing about that song is good!!!
* Mine is probably Lake of Fire or All Apologies. I also really love Come as You Are (which is a bit stereotypical but...oh well.) It's hard to pick just one.
What is a nirvana?
Asked by Wiki User
There are three ways (Bodhis) which you can reach Nirwana. Those are Sammā-Sambodhi(Lord Buddha), Pacceka-Bodhi and Savaka-Bhodhi(Arahath).
The easiest way to get enlightenment (or reach Nirwana) is the Savaka-Bhodhi.
Those who obtained the enlightenment by following teachings of the Samma-Sambuddha are obtained enlightenment through Savaka-Bhodhi. They have to do concentrated meditation (Bhavana) to develop Samadhi (Samatha meditation). Then with developed mind they have to think about three marks of existence (Samsara) which is Anicca, Dukkha and Anatta. (Vipassanā meditation). Doing this with big effort they will understand Four Noble Truths clearly. So they will attain Nirvana (get enlightenment).
If you have cultivated enough virtues connected with Bodhi (bodhipaksa dharma) you can reach Nirwana in this life because still not exceeded 5000years range from the Gautama Lord Buddha's enlightenment.
First thing you have to do is believe the supreme state of Lord Buddha(infinite intelligence, infinite power, infinite kindness, ..) and existence of Karma. Then follow Noble Eightfold Path, Study Dharma and do Mediation (Vipassana). You will be reaching Nirwana definitely with permanent happy and without any more sufferings in sad Samsara(infinite cycle of rebirth).
Who did Kurt Cobain grow up with?
Asked by Wiki User
Kurt Cobain's family influenced him in a number of ways.
One I know of is that Kurt's parents divorced when Kurt was the age of 9 and I know it ruined him for the rest of his life and most of the anger he felt from that was out into his songs which he put on records and sold millions of copies too.
Also while reading 'Heavier than Heaven' I saw that a few of Kurt's Family members also attempted/comitted suicide.
From a very early age Kurt said he was going to
'Become a big rockstar like Jimi Hendrix and kill himself'
The effects of suicide in a family can be very influenced on the choices you make as you grow older..
I also know Frances and Courtney influenced him in a massive way.. For the love he felt for them two was more than anyone could ever imagine. And to me that is the biggest influence... Love.
