ananda
ஆனந்தBliss, joy, supreme happiness, spiritual delight
Meaning
Ananda refers to a state of profound bliss, joy, or spiritual delight. In Indian classical dance lyrics, it frequently appears in epithets or descriptions of deities, particularly Shiva as Nataraja, who performs the "Ananda Thandavam" (Dance of Bliss). It signifies a divine, transcendent happiness, often associated with the ultimate spiritual experience rather than mere worldly pleasure.
