Brahmananda (ब्रह्मानन्दा, IAST: Brahmānandā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the bliss of Brahman”. From brahman (the Absolute) and ānanda (bliss), this name reveals Lalithā as the living embodiment of supreme transcendent joy.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound brahmānanda unites the vast impersonal Absolute with the most intimate of all experiences — pure bliss. In Vedantic understanding, ānanda is not mere happiness but the very nature of ultimate reality, and Lalithā is proclaimed as that reality made luminous. To invoke this name is to affirm that the Goddess and the highest truth of the Upaniṣads are one.
This epithet belongs to Śrī Lalithā Tripurasundarī as celebrated in the Lalithā Sahasranāma; the name is pronounced bruh-MAH-nan-daa, with a long final vowel.
Scriptural source
Brahmananda appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
