Book excerpt: Gokarn as an aspect of Lord Shiva finds mention in ancient Sanskrit texts of Ramayana, Mahabharat, Shrimad Bhagwat, and several Puranas including Skand Purana’s Sahyadri Khand, Gokarn Purana, Shiv Purana, Linga Purana, etc. As a form of the Atmalingam of Lord Shiva in Mount Kailash, Gokarn finds mention in similar forms across the sacred geography of ancient Bharatvarsha. This book is a search for ‘Gokarn’ and the ancient historical, cultural, spiritual and religious linkages that span several millennia and is an attempt to discover and collate this expanse of literature across Bharat in a single book. Great persons such as Lord Rama, Parshurama, Kadambas, Cholas, Adi Shankaracharya, Chalukyas, Krishnadeva Raya, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Rani Ahilyabai Holkar and several Rishis and sages across millennia have influenced Gokarn. Several foreign travellers have visited Gokarn and coastal Kanara and left accounts of their times which this book features and brings out the profound cultural, spiritual, political and historical landscape of our heritage.
