Chit Ananda in two parts (from Pamela Walsh).
1. Self-Knowledge (Chit) ~ Awakening, recognition, remembrance, self-realization, enlightenment, discovering the bliss of being. Because we are part of the Divine ~ a microcosm ~ knowledge of ourselves IS knowledge of the Divine (pure consciousness).
2. Delight of creative expression (Ananda) ~ To enjoy the freedom of being. To make beauty, to love, to exult in the goodness of life, to celebrate the Supreme through art/music, to serve by adding more joy & laughter to life (Shakti principle)
- Chit (Consciousness, Awareness)
- Ananda (Bliss)
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 essence, consciousness, and bliss respectively.
Saccidānanda may be understood as the energetic state of one-ness (non-duality), wholeness, naturalness which is comparable to a fully liberated yogi.
