Have you ever wondered about immortality, a life that never ends? In ancient Indian legends, there are such beings, known as ‘Chiranjeevi’.
These aren’t just any immortals; they are seven specific individuals blessed, or sometimes cursed, to live until the very end of the current cosmic age.
Their eternal lives are often due to powerful boons granted by gods, profound devotion, or even, in some cases, severe curses, tying them to the mortal world.
Take Hanuman, the epitome of devotion, blessed by Lord Rama himself, or Ashwatthama, cursed for his heinous acts, destined to suffer with an incurable wound.
Their stories aren’t just about endless life; they’re rich with lessons of duty, consequence, perseverance, and the timeless struggle between good and evil, echoing through ages.
