Vishwanath sings the hymn of the "Nirvanashatakam" during a satsang
at the Yoga Vidya Ashram in Bad Meinberg, Germany. You can find an
English translation of this kirtan in our Yoga Vidya Online
Community - click here - or you can find the lyrics in the Yoga
Vidya Kirtanheft as No. 404.

The Nirvanashatakam are six educational verses to freedom or
nirvana by Shankara (also Sankara or Shree Shankaracharya). In each
verse, 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 Sadchidananda (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.

Om Shanti,
yours Omkara.
