Immortals according to Hindu texts

Thread

There are more than 15 Chiranjeevi’s (chiram = “long or permanent”, jeev = “ living”) who are believed to exist even today on Earth according to Hindu religion. Those immortals were born human but blessed or cursed with extremely long life.

The existing Puranas, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata describe eight long-lived personalities in the Hindu religion. While there are others as well, which is not included in the one particular shloka.

The each represents a different attribute of man,will exist amongst humanity until the completion of Kaliyug.

कृप: परशुरामश्च सप्तएतै चिरजीविन:॥
सप्तैतान् संस्मरेन्नित्यं मार्कण्डेयमथाष्टमम्।
जीवेद्वर्षशतं सोपि सर्वव्याधिविवर्जित।।”

Vyasa, the sage who composed the Mahabharata. He represents erudition and wisdom. He was the son of sage Parashara and grandson of sage Vashishtha. He was born towards the end of Tretayuga, lived to see the complete Dwaparayuga, and also saw the initial phase of Kali Yuga.

Hanuman, served Rama. He stands for selflessness, courage, devotion, strength, and righteous conduct.

Parashurama, Gyata of all divine weapons. The Kalki Purana writes that he will re-emerge at the end of time to be the martial guru of Kalki. He will then instruct the final avatar to undertake penance to receive celestial weaponry, required to save mankind at the end of time.

Vibhishana, surrendered to Rama before his battle with Ravana. Later, he was crowned king of Lanka after Ravana was killed by Rama. He stands for righteousness. He is not a true Chiranjivi, as his boon of longevity is to remain on the earth only until the end of the Mahayuga.

Ashwatthama, the son of Drona, a great warrior. Drona did many years of severe penance to please lord Shiva in order to obtain a son who possessed the same valiance as Lord Shiva. Ashwatthama is the avatar of one of the eleven Rudras.

Ashwatthama and Kripa are believed to be the lone survivors still living who actually fought in the Kurukshetra War.He might be immortal but Krishna gave curse that, he would live forever but with his body covered with sores and ulcers that would never cure.

Bali, also called Maha Bali (his son was Banasur), was the virtuous emperor of the three worlds and Son of Virochana and grandson of Prahlada who were of Asura descent. During the Vamana avatar, Lord Vishnu blessed him to be a Chiranjivi.
