Hare Krishna Spam

I got an unusual Email the other day.
Call out Gouranga be happy...
Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga
That which brings the highest happiness!


I was pretty perplexed by this. It wasn’t selling anything. It wasn’t really spam, in a traditional sense anyhow.
I had a bit of a poke around on the Internet. Gouranga is a Hare-Krishna word, meaning ‘Be Happy’. The identity of the Spammer in question isn’t known, but a gentleman contacting the International Society for Krishna Consciousness received this message from not the society itself, but an anonymous individual:
Hello Joe,

I am just very enthusiastic person, who wants everybody to be happy.

))

What an incredible inspiration! The medium of Computer Spam being Hijacked to bring joy, not misery, to give instead of take.
I find it uplifting that there are people willing to do things for no other reason than wanting others to be happy.

Wikipedia Article on Gouranga.
