Satchitananda (Sanscrit: सतचतआनन्द) is a Hindu term literally meaning "truth" (सत sat), "consciousness" (चत chit), and "bliss" (आनन्द ananda).

The Advaita school sees this as the three fundamental attributes of Brahman (formless God) and hence use the term as its synomym.

It is also a monastic name for several Hindu gurus and ascetics.
