One may have mentioned this in the past: heard this mostly amongst old Hindus both from Goi and Maharashtra.
Apparently there is (a) crystal under the ground that attracts and attracted people to this land for the past many centuries. They believe the seven gurus (sat gurus) met here...I think there is a village which bears its name and the alert mind of Victor Rangel-Ribeiro thought of the possible village (but I cannot remember), then dispersed across the sub-continent. One often wonders why so many folks rush and gush about this place when the villages of costal Maharashtra (Devgad comes to mind) are quaint...with beautiful beaches, great food.........
