OK, tomorrow's homework for me - look up Huitzilopochtli.

The reply was "Oh, she's not dead yet but the doctors don't expect her to survive the weekend."
I knew someone who did that. It was her mother-in-law, and she was ringing around the relatives to see which date would suit for the funeral --- a few days in advance of the expected death.

Nothing wrong with being prepared!

Yes! Sri Jayanna from Bangalore was one of the batchmates in 2006 Kailash Yatra. That is why the question.

Some go to have darshan, for some HE comes to them. Nothing to worry.
