[email] Gouranga - spam?

Received from NitaiGourangaSPLATaol.com:
Quote:
Call out Gouranga be happy!!!
Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga ....
That which brings the highest happiness!!


It's a word that's chanted by Hare Krishnas, according to an online dictionary.

If it weren't mystical, I'd figure it's spam. And, I don't use this address for anything but UrbanHunt.

Somethings wrong when you're getting religious spam, eh?

Well, www.gouranga.com is "A Grand Theft Auto News & Resource Site." I doubt that has anything to do with anything. gouranga.net looks like it's for some hippy type band. Oh, and it's in German or something like that.

I just had to post this one too:

The word is derived from Anglo-Saxon "Go Range" meaning to travel in peace, it goes on to explain that peace can only be obtained by moving over to ones left if another traveller approaches from behind. Failure to do this results in a curse being put onto the offender, the curse consists of any male instantly aquiring minute genitals,and any offending female becoming instantly frigid.

Your previous partner obviosly ignored GOURANGA.....

==========
And.....

Krishna based email chain letter promoting happiness.

Gouranga gouranga gouranga. Shout garanga for happiness. Send this email to 56 other people - or die from terminal unhappiness. Gouranga gouranga gouranga.


Pretty funny sutff. The whole curse, and moving to the left thing was interesting.....

=======

Odd, for sure...

A government ploy to get everyone talking about it in order to take our minds off the mess they are all making in the meantime!

Talking point. "Does anyone know what Gouranga means,its written all over those moterway bridges" You are bound to get someone in the room who hazards a guess,and the rest will join in!

=========

The term gouranga emanates from the 3rd century AD.

The word was used by Suouny tribesmen of the Asian Peninsula to direct the hordes of warring factions and other tribal groups to a place they called "Gouranga". Whilst the Suouny indnicated that this was a place where the tribesmen would encounter complete happiness and ultimate strength of soul and body, this was not the case in reality.
The Souony trap worked and all their enemies were killed as they fell into the huge pit with spikes. Thus the word "Gouranga" -meaning "the search for happiness leads ultimately destruction"

===========

Only this one really caught my eye....

the sound vibration of " Gouranga" penetrates to the soul and the journey back to Godhead begins
