Gouranga ???
Just had what I think is a spammy text message re. the above word. See it plastered all over the place, particularly motorway bridges.
What the hek does it mean ?  |

Re: Gouranga ???

Re: Gouranga ???
The word means 'be happy' and hare chrishna believe that each time you say it,it spreads a bit of happiness into the world,so the more you say it the happier the world becomes...apparently!

Re: Gouranga ???
So nowt rude then, that's a relief, will try repeating it several times tomorrow, although reasonably happy at moment.
Still interested as to what sort of 'pack' take the bother to go out in the wind and cold to stick these signs on motorway bridges .. don't know how they manage it actually, somebody must have been holding another person upside down by the ankles to get them up there. |
