Nirvana is an ancient Sanskrit term used in Indian religions to describe the profound peace of mind that is acquired with liberation, freedom from suffering and union with God. Literally translated it means blown out, and refers to the supreme stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished.

At the recent Nirvana charity concert held at O2 park in Chaguaramas, Trinidad, there was a feeling of letting go and contributing to the experience for a greater good. The good in this case was to raise funds for special re-constructive surgery required for baby Sophia who was born prematurely to Nigel and Susan Thomas. Although the band Nirvana did not play, patrons came close to experiencing Nirvana with one of the best live concerts in recent years with appearances by internationally-known local legends like Mungal Patasar, Joint Pop and Orange Sky and the relatively new Mayaro, the Band.
