There is or was a big graffiti of it on a bridge across the M1 near Luton that was certainly there in about 1996. I can remember the stickers blossoming in Doncaster when the town briefly had a major party venue.

I remember them from the early 90's. I think it means be happy or summat like. Summat to do with the Hare Krishnas.
