  Nirvana - Deistpedia, the Deist encyclopedia
Nirvana in sutra is never concieved of as a place, but the antinomy of samsara which itself is synonymous with ignorance (avijja).
It carries further connotations of stilling, cooling, and peace; the realizing of nirvana is compared to the ending of avijja (ignorance) which perpetuates the will (citta/mind) from passing thru samsara life after life, which causes (and is caused by) among other things craving, consciousness, birth, death, greed, hate, delusion, ignorance.
Calling nirvana the 'opposite' of samsara or implying that it is apart from samsara is doctrinally inaccurate.

Sometimes a band, its music and its name unite to form one entity - the band is the name, the name is the music, the music is the name and the name is the band.
Third, the band doesn't have to be good for it to have a great name (see: Frankie Goes to Hollywood), although there is a lot of overlap - and there's even more overlap when it comes to bad names/ bad bands.
