gouranga

Gauranga originates from sanskrit, and it means "light/gold limbed". The starter of golden sankirtan movement in India was named Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and he was often named Gaura or Gauranga (He is considered a golden lila-avatara of Krishna).
In popular culture, the word has an accepted meaning of "be happy".
