एक सहज और स्वाभाविक प्रश्न है, क्या मनुष्य अमर हो सकता है? इसका जवाब इतना आसान नहीं है, क्योंकि आज भी मनुष्य उन सीमाओं के पार नहीं पहुँच सका है, जो उसे अमर बना दें। हाँ, कभी-कभी कुछ विशेष व्यक्तियों के लिए प्रकृति ने अपने नियम जरूर बदले हैं। ऐसे ही विशेष महामानव हैं-सात चिरंजीवी। ये सात चिरंजीवी इसलिए कहलाए, क्योंकि सातों जीवन-मृत्यु के चक्र से ऊपर उठकर अमर हो गए। इन सात चिरंजीवियों में परशुराम, बलि, विभीषण, हनुमान, महर्षि वेदव्यास, कृपाचार्य और अश्वत्थामा हैं।.
