 What is Naryana bali puja?

Narayan Bali Puja (in all cases of abnormal death) is a necessary ritual described in Garuda Purana, which is performed in all cases of abnormal death, defined as follows: death by fasting, by animals, by accident, by arson, by a curse, by cholera or any unusual disease which suddenly caused untimely death, suicide, fall from a mountain, tree or any height, drowning, death by muggers or robbers, by snake bite, struck by lightning, murder, and persons who are great sinners, pitra dosh in the horoscope, delay in marriage, problems in conceiving child, business loss, family separation, etc.
For all unnatural death, there is neither ritual for cremation, no tarpana, shraddh, or asaucham.  Narayan Bali consists of the same ritual as a Hindu funeral. Vedic Mantras are chanted to invoke such lost souls. Narayan Bali puja causes the soul to liberate and transcend.

Why Narayan Bali puja should be performed at Gokarna?

Gokarna (Kannada: ಗೋಕರ್ಣ) is a small temple town on the western coast of India in the Kumta taluk of Uttara Kannada district of the state of Karnataka. The main temple deity is Lord Shiva, who is also known as Mahabaleshwar. Gokarna is known as one of India’s seven important Hindu pilgrimage centers.
This holy place is known as Bhookailasa and the Southern Varanasi. (Ref. Skandha Purana, Guru Charitra)
Gokarna means Cow’s Ear. It is believed that Lord Shiva emerged from the ear of a cow (Prithvi, the Mother Earth) here. It is at the ear-shaped confluence of two rivers, Gangavali and Aghanashini. Thus Gokarna gained global spiritual significance. Performing Maha Mrityunjaya Homam at Gokarna has its own very significance.
Gokarna is mentioned in the Shrimad Bhagavata Purana as being the home of the brothers Gokarna and Dhundhakari. Mahabaleshwara Temple (Maha: great, bal: strength) is a famous Shiva Temple, and it houses the ‘Atmalinga’

The Brahmin king Raja Mayooravarma was instrumental in bringing the first 30 or so families to Gokarna. Brahmins have a history of 1300 years back, and documental proofs are available since the 15th century about Gokarna priests and scholars for performing various pujas like Navagraha-purak-aghorastra-puja, Narayan bali, Kaal Sarp dosh puja, Maha Mrantuynjya Homam, pind pradhan, tripindi Shraddha, etc.
The availability of a good number of learned scholars in Sanskrit and Vedic experts in Gokarna is an added advantage apart from the uniqueness of this holy place in India.

The Atma linga of Lord Shiva is at Gokarna. Hence all pujas are performed throughout the year.
