Hare Krishna Spam
June 1st, 2005 by Kelson. Posted in Spam, Strange World and tagged for gouranga, SpamI received an odd email today which consisted solely of:
Call out Gouranga be happy!!!
Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga ….
That which brings the highest happiness!!
A little Googling, and apparently gouranga is a Hare Krishna term for happiness, also used in the sense of “be happy” and is mysteriously scrawled on bridges in the UK. (Hmm, reminds me of the “Anzel is Love” signs someone plastered all over UCI for a few weeks in the mid-1990s.)
It also seems that the gouranga spam has been around a while.
