SIGN UPNirvana is a gender-neutral name of Indian origin that means "Transcendent State." In Indian religions such as Jainism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, Nirvana refers to the extinguishing of passions, leading to the ultimate state of soteriological release, liberation from suffering, and freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth. This concept is synonymous with moksha and mukti, representing perfect quietude, freedom, and the ending of worldly suffering. In Hinduism, it signifies the realization of the identity of Atman with Brahman, while in Jainism, it symbolizes the release of the soul from karmic bondage. In Buddhism, Nirvana is the abandonment of fetters, marking the end of rebirth by stilling the "fires" that perpetuate the cycle of rebirth. The term "Nirvana" is deeply rooted in the spiritual and philosophical traditions of Indian religions, signifying the attainment of profound peace and liberation from suffering.
