7 Immortal People In Hindu Mythology

There is a shlok in our Scriptures

अश्वत्थामा बलिर्व्यासो हनुमांश्च विभीषणः। कृपः परशुरामश्च सप्तैते चिरंजीविनः॥
सप्तैतान् संस्मरेन्नित्यं मार्कण्डेयमथाष्टमम्। जीवेद्वर्षशतं सोपि सर्वव्याधिविवर्जित।।

The first two rows of this verse mean that Ashwatthama, Bali, Vyas, Hanuman, Vibhishan, Krupacharya and Lord Parasurama are the seven great human beings of Chiranjeevi. And the next two rows mean that if these seven Mahamans and eightth Rishi Markandeya are remembered regularly, then all diseases of the body are eliminated and the age of 100 years is attained.

Let's know about these seven great human beings who are believed to be alive on earth today. All the powers which are said to have been mentioned in Yoga are present in them.

# Parshuram

Lord Vishnu's sixth incarnation is Parasuram. Parshuram's father was Rishi Jamadagni and mother Renuka. Mother Renuka gave birth to five sons, whose names were respectively Vasuman, Vasusan, Vasu, Vishwavasu and Ram. Rama had done harsh recitation to please Shiva. Shiva was pleased with the penance and gave Ram his ax (a weapon). For this reason, Ram Parashurama began to be called. According to the Hindi calendar, he was born to the third part of the Shukla party of the Vaisakh month. Therefore, the third coming in the Shukla aspect of Vaishakh month is called Akshaya Tritiya. Lord Parasurama Ram was before, but he was also in Ram's time due to being a Chiranjeevi. Parshuram had 21 times the end of all the Kshatriya kings from the earth.

# Bali

The talk of donation of King Bali was far and wide. King Bali took control of IndraLok to climb up the deities. Sacrifice took place during the time of Lord Vaman Avatar in Satyuga. In order to shatter the pride of King Bali, God had asked for three donations of land from King Bali by donating the Brahmin's disguise. King Bali said that where you wish, keep three feet. Then God assumed his immense form and measured three people in two stages and placed the third step on the head of the sacrifice and sent the hare to him. According to the scriptures, the king sacrificial priests are descendants of Prahalad. Shreeharri was very pleased with King Bali. That is why Shri Vishnu Raja became the gatekeeper of the sacrifice.

# Hanuman

Anjani's son Hanuman is also blessed with the blessings of being immortal. It has been the ultimate devotee of Lord Ram in Ram's time. Thousands of years later, they also appear in Mahabharata period. In the Mahabharata there are references that Bhima wants to remove his tail from the path, then Hanumanji says that you take away only, but Bhima does not remove his tail by putting his full strength. Sita had blessed Hanuman after listening to Ram's message in Ashok Bhatika of Lanka that he would remain Ajar-Amar.

# Vibhishana

Younger brother of Ravana is Vibhishan. Vibhishan is the exclusive devotee of Shri Ram. When Ravana had defeated Mata Sita, then Vibhishana had explained Ravana to not be hostile to Shriram. On this, Ravana had removed Vibhishan from Lanka. Vibhishan went to the service of Shriram and supported religion in erasing the misdeeds of Ravana.

# Rishi Vyas

Rishi Vyas, also known as Ved Vyas, had composed all four Vedas (Rigveda, Atharvaveda, Samveda and Yajurveda), all 18 Puranas, Mahabharata and Shrimad Bhagavata Gita. The sons of Ved Vyas, Rishi Parashar and Satyavati were. He was born on an island on the river Yamuna, and the color of it was a sanyal. That is why this is called Krishna dwaraiyapan. His mother later married Shantanu, whom he had two sons, in which the great Chitrangad was killed in war and the little weird woman died childless.

# Ashwathama

Ashwathma is the son of Guru Dronacharya. There is also a description of many incarnations of Lord Shiva in the texts. One of them is the Avatar, which is still wandering on earth for its liberation. These incarnations are Ashwaththama's son, of Guru Dronacharya. When the war was fought between the Kauravas and the Pandavas in Dwaparuga, Ashwatthama had cooperated with the Kurus. According to religious texts, Lord Krishna cursed Ashwaththama to keep on wandering on the earth for the sake of running Brahmastra.

# Kripacharya

Kripacharya was the uncle of Ashwathma and the Vice-Chancellor of Kauravas. Shantanu received two infants while playing the game. Shantanu brought him the name of Kripi and Krup, and brought him the name of Shantanu. In the Mahabharata war, Kripacharya was active on behalf of the Kauravas. Kripa and Kripi were born because of falling on the movement of the son of Maharishi Gautam, Sharadan.
