Some spam just makes no sense. Why — oh why — would someone go to the effort of mass-sending the following email:
From: "Neateye" <****@aol.com> Subject: Gouranga Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 22:47:29 -0000 Call out Gouranga be happy!!! Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga .... That which brings the highest happiness!!
A quick google on “gouranga” reveals this and this. Ah, so either this is religious spam (damn Krishna’s, get out of my airport and inbox) or some sublime GTA ad. Or more scarily: both.

I got the same email today. I looked it up and Gouranga was a HIndu monk who lived 500 years ago. What I first thought was another spam now makes me smile. It was like a little blessing on my day.
I’ve got the same e-mail today!
I got the same email a couple days ago. I was a bit freaked out, I thought it was spooky, but now I know more about it, it seems people are just trying to get other people to feel happiness. I feel it was a blessing as well, and I will call out Gouranga when I have a need for happiness!
Cool. I was sitting here after work and thought I’d give my email inbox one last shot. Felt down and thought I might read it aloud as suggested… Not much of an affect.
‘Gouranga’, I thought, what the hell is that? After Googling this trail I’m now smiling. Thanks Gouranga!
Gouranga affermation really works! Try it!
Got the same mail today and finally ended up here after a little researc on the subject.. It’s new to me too. Had no idea what it means at first. Hehe.. Funny, but true. Peoples first reaction towards something new to them is usually negative even the subject itself was something friendly and nice. Self protection and bad experiences I think… We are only human after all
Well, lets hope that this Gouranga spam means no harm to anyone. To me it looks like it’s ok because it made me smile – mainly because someone wants to send positive messages these days 
That’s rear.
