The popular Gouranga campaign in North England and Scotland – ‘Call out Gouranga Be Happy’ is after Lord Gouranga or the Golden One. Lord Nityananda, Lord Gouranga’s eternal and intimate associate is All Merciful who sees the good in all and helps aid our spiritual progress. He moves us closer in our devotion to Lord Gouranga, avatar of both Lord Krishna and His consort Shrimati Radharani, who appeared 500 years ago in a small town in eastern India called Mayapur, currently in West Bengal, India. Lord Gouranga is also known as Shri Chaitanya Mahapraphu who gave a powerful impetus for a massive bhakti (devotional) movement throughout India. Under His direction hundreds of volumes on the philosophy of Krishna Consciousness were compiled. And the sankirtana movement or congregational chanting of the holy name – Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare is being furthered and followed all over the world in His footsteps.
