What is Satchitananda? The word Aananda means Joy beyond comprehension. It is an everlasting bliss. It is a very special Joy, which comes from the knowledge of Sat, the Truth of Chit, the consciousness that God is everywhere. Where do normal pleasures come from? We experience normal pleasures when our five senses consume sense objects; when the tongue consumes something of taste, when the eyes see something beautiful, when the nose smells something interesting, when the ears hear something captivating or when the hand touches or the skin feels. But these pleasures that we experience when the mind responds to objects of the senses are very temporary, a mere gratification of our senses. But Satchitananda is a Pleasure, Aananda, Joy that comes from the knowledge that I am the divine spirit, I am the atma. It is a very different kind of Joy. It is not a Joy that comes from sensual gratification. It is the knowledge, the feeling, the sense of being the Divine spirit. The realization of who I am - the Godly and the immortal spirit, and not a body that will fall sick and die - creates a unique and true happiness- Satchitananda That is why this Ananda or the Satchitananda is the deepest and the purest bliss or Joy that one can ever experience.
