This post is dedicated to one of my childhood friends Sacchidananda

I had a friend during my childhood whose name was Sacchidananda. He never liked his name, and was upset with his parents who chose such a difficult name for their child. Not easy to pronounce or to spell. We used to tease him for his name. Today, several years later, I have tremendous respect for his parents for have chosen such a beautiful name to their son. It has such profound meaning. So, what is Sacchidananda?
