Glossary

SATCHIDANANDA

Existence, knowledge, and bliss absolute.

Sat means Existence or Truth. Chid is the expression, knowledge, of it. Ananda is the Bliss you get out of it. So Truth, Knowledge, Bliss is what we mean by the word Satchidananda.

In a way, the meaning could be compared to the Holy Trinity.

You are in essence the spiritual Being. You are made up of the same substance of Satchidananda of which Brahman is made. – Sri Swami Sivananda
