The word ananda came up in a conversation with friends the other day. I know the basic English meaning is bliss, but I remember (from a class long ago) that there is a deeper meaning to it. I also vaguely remember it being associated with a phrase like "sit chat ananda." I'm sure I butchered the phrase, but if you can help me with the meaning of it and the deeper meaning of ananda, I would appreciate it.
