Satcitananda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saccidānanda, Satchidananda, or Sat-cit-ānanda (Sanskrit: सच्चिदानंद) is a compound of three Sanskrit words, Sat (सत्), Cit (चित्), and Ānanda (आनंद) (the ā is of longer vocal length), meaning existence, consciousness, and bliss respectively. The expression is used in yoga and other schools of Indian philosophy to describe the nature of Brahman as experienced by a fully liberated yogi. Orthography may differ depending on whether the word is treated in its compound form and therefore subject to sandhi: saccidānanda, or split into its elements: sat-cit-ananda, sac chid ananda, etc. The compound always sounds like: Sach-chid-ānanda, regardless of spelling.

Saccidānanda may be understood as the energetic state of non-duality, a manifestation of our spiritually natural, primordial and authentic state which is comparable in quality to that of deity.

"The Complete Whole, or the Supreme Absolute Truth, is the complete Personality of Godhead. Realization of impersonal Brahman or of Paramatma, the Supersoul, is incomplete realization of the Absolute Complete. The Supreme Personality ofGodhead is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha. Realization of impersonalBrahman is realization of His sat feature, or His aspect of eternity,and Paramatma realization is realization of His sat and cit features,His aspects of eternity and knowledge. But realization of thePersonality of Godhead is realization of all the transcendentalfeatures--sat, cit and ananda, bliss. When one realizes the SupremePerson, he realizes these aspects of the Absolute Truth in theircompleteness. Vigraha means "form."
