Brahmanand meaning
Brahmanand (ब्रह्मानंद) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
'joy in Brahman', the rapture of union with the supreme spirit
Also used to mean: bliss of brahman, supreme joy
Brahmanand (ब्रह्मानंद) is Sanskrit brahmānanda, from brahman, the one supreme reality of the Upanishads, and ānanda, "joy, bliss". Monier-Williams gives it as "joy in Brahman", the rapture of absorption into the one self-existent Spirit, and notes it as the name of many teachers and authors. Baby-name lists give it as "bliss of Brahman" or "supreme joy", matching the dictionary. Bearers include Brahmanand Swami, the poet-saint of the Swaminarayan tradition, and Swami Brahmananda, the first president of the Ramakrishna Mission.
