Chiranjivi
Chiranjivi (Sanskrit nominative sing. ''ciranjīvī'', चिरंजीवी) are immortal living beings in Hinduism who are to remain alive on Earth through this Kali Yuga till its very end.
==Etymology and scriptural context==
The term is a combination of ''chiram'', or 'permanent', and ''jīvi'', or 'lived'. It is same ''as'amaratva'', which refers to true immortality. At the end of the last Manvantara, a demon attempted to become immortal by swallowing the Vedas, as they escaped from the mouth of Brahma. The scripture was retrieved by the first (Matsya) avatar of Lord Vishnu. Incarnations of Vishnu also later fought and killed two other asuras, Hiranyakasipu and Ravana, who tried to become immortal through obeisance to Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, respectively. In Hinduism, immortal does not mean eternal, as all physical bodies are foretold to become immaterial at the end of time, along with Brahma himself, with the destruction of the Universe.〔Bhāgavata Purāṇa 3.32.8-10〕
