The word Gouranga comes from the Hare Krishna religious movement. In Sanskrit it means "Golden One". Gauranga - also spelt Gouranga - is an alias of the movement's founding father, Shri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the "golden one", in veneration or because he was said to have had "golden" skin.
The word Gouranga and the phrase "Gouranga ! Be happy!" are of importance in part one and two of the Grand Theft Auto computer game series.
Stickers bearing the word Gouranga or stating Call out Gouranga and be happy! have been appearing on bridges over motorways and railways in the north of England over recent years. Similar stickers have also been appearing on public buildings, as well as the more recent surge of unsolicited (spam) emails bearing the same message. Stickers and fridge magnets with the phrase have also been handed out by 'monks' at recent music festivals throughout the UK, such as the Glastonbury and Donnington (Download) festivals.

cult-like religion stemming from Hare Krishna whose monks harass innocents in the street to give them money in return for gouranga badges, stickers, books and CDs. They believe women should be subordinate to men; they are against abortion; they condemn Christians, Communists and Cow Killers (and in fact devote an entire chapter of their book to this); they are vegan and believe Meat Is Murder; Most of society's problems are caused by women's failure to accept that they are inferior to men.
Don't be fooled by the slogan, "Say Gouranga and be Happy" - they want you to live a miserable communal life of misery and love it.
Example lyrics of two songs from their CD:
"Consciousness gives you conscience, man, consciousness gives you conscience, man..."
"We don't die, when the body dies, we live on, in another form...we don't die when the body dies... we live on in another form"
A word, with Indian background, meaning "be happy!"
So what if your boyfriend dumped you! He's an asshole--gouranga!
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"
