vijñānam ānandam brahma

 vijñānam ānandam brahma

You’re referring to the Sanskrit phrase:

“विज्ञानम् आनन्दम् ब्रह्म” (vijñānam ānandam brahma)

Correct form: “Vijñānam ānandam brahma”

Meaning:

“Consciousness and bliss are Brahman.”

• Vijñānam (विज्ञानम्) = pure consciousness / higher knowledge / awareness
• Ānandam (आनन्दम्) = bliss / deep inner joy
• Brahma (ब्रह्म) = ultimate reality / absolute truth

In simple terms:

The statement means that the ultimate reality (Brahman) is not something external—it is pure awareness and limitless inner bliss itself.

This teaching comes from the Taittiriya Upanishad, one of the principal Upanishads in Indian philosophy.

Core idea:

When a person goes beyond ordinary identification (body, thoughts, emotions), what remains is a state of pure consciousness experienced as profound peace and joy.

If you want, I can also  connect this verse to ideas in the Bhagavad Gita or  explain how different schools of Vedanta interpret it.
