Nirvana Shatakam – Shankara's Six Verses on Freedom
Nirvana, 3 Anjaya Court, Blackburn, AUNirvana Shatakam – Shankara's Six Verses on Freedom
Most spiritual paths tell you to become something. This teaching does the opposite.
Through six ancient verses by Adi Shankara, you discover who you are by removing what you're NOT – the body, mind, and roles you play. What remains is your limitless nature that was always here.
Over seven months, we'll unpack these verses line by line, transforming how you see yourself and your life.
What You'll Learn
- How you mistake yourself for body, mind, emotions, and roles
- Why self-knowledge differs from self-improvement
- Why you've never actually been bound – and what keeps that recognition hidden
- What it means to recognise yourself as the sought, not the seeker
