Sachidanand meaning
Sachidanand (सच्चिदानन्द) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Existence, thought and joy; name of the one self-existing Spirit
Also used to mean: eternal bliss, total bliss
Sachidanand (सच्चिदानन्द) joins three Sanskrit words: sat, "being", cit, "thought, consciousness", and ānanda, "joy, bliss". Monier-Williams gives saccidānanda as existence, thought and joy together, the name in the Upaniṣads and later texts for the one self-existing Spirit, Brahman, and also as a name of Viṣṇu identified with it. Name lists usually shorten this to "eternal bliss". Many monks and teachers have taken the name, often spelled Satchidananda, and the Hindi writer Agyeya was born Sachchidananda Hirananda Vatsyayan.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
