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 ? :confused:

Re: Gouranga ???
 

doesnt it mean 'be happy' ? it's supposed to give you good karma or something like that :) its used by those hare crishna monks

Re: Gouranga ???
 

It means 'golden-limbed'. Say Gouranga and be happy, take it as a good luck message Kate.

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 ???
 

Yeh, think you may be correct Flashy .. did also say "Be happy and brings the greatest happiness", but who sticks them up, etc., I wonder ? What sort of organisation can send out general textes .. may have been wrong number of course.

Re: Gouranga ???
 

hare crishna people lol

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.

Re: Gouranga ???

Re: Gouranga ???
 

Well, seems to work then eh ?

Thanks folks.

Re: Gouranga ???

Re: Gouranga ???

Re: Gouranga ???
 

Save me a lot of money though eh Tinks ?

Could go and hug lots of men in the spirit of Gouranga. ;)

Re: Gouranga ???
 

LOL! You'd still manage to do it in style Kate .... it would be some beautiful Laura Ashley bed sheet :D ...... Are monks allowed to get jealous?? :eek:

Re: Gouranga ???
 

Gouranga katex.:D

Re: Gouranga ???
 

Ya' daft bats ... Laura Ashley ! .. can't see me in flowers and pure cottons and smelling of lavender .. fancy ringing those bells the monks wear though.

Well, that text worked for all the people reading this thread I suppose.
