5,000 YEAR OLD Man Still Alive in India?!

hey it's mike chen

you know there has always been legends or rumors about those

who are supposedly no longer of this world but are somehow secretly still roaming a monster living

for example some people continue to believe

that Elvis Presley who died back in the late 1970s is still very much alive today

some believe that Bruce Lee is still alive and kicking

and there are also speculations that iconic rapper Tupac who was killed in a drive-by shooting

back during the 90s never really died from his wounds

another theory dates back to the second world war though many decades have already passed

as some people still insist that the leader of the Nazi Party Adolf Hitler did not actually perish

during the final days of the war in 1945 and that his suicide was in fact faked

so he could live out the remainder of his days under the radar without getting prosecuted for his war crimes

so out of all these supposedly deceased people who are rumored to be alive today

one particular individual may have been rumored to be living on earth

for much longer than everybody else this mythical man is named Ashwathama

and according to an ancient tale he is a man who was cursed to live in a mortal life

filled with nothing but endless suffering and pain

though son dismissed the story as nothing more than a work of fiction

there are those who believe that this immortal is very much real

and over the many years that have passed there have been several instances

in which people claim to have seen him in the flesh

so who is this immortal man

well Ashwatthama is not only one of the key characters in a Sanskrit epic Mahabharata

he is also viewed as the ancient Indian narratives antihero

he was the son of a powerful guru named Drona and a grandson of the Brahmin sage Bharadwaja

he is the avatar of the eighth Rudras or followers of the god Rudras Shiva

and one of the seven chiranjivis or the immortal ones in Hinduism

he ranks third among those who managed to kill the most number of warriors during the kurukshetra war

and he is also the lone survivor said to be still living after fighting in that war

the story goes following his father's demise in the kurukshetra war

ashwatthama out of grief and extreme anger decided to walk the path of terror and bloodshed

he entered the camp of his enemies the pandavas and slaughtered him

he is also responsible for releasing one of the world's most deadly weapons

unto the womb of uttara killing her unborn child

who is supposed to be destined to rule over the world

because of this the Hindu deity Krishna was rage

at the Ashwathama heinous crimes of murdering innocent children

as punishments for the horrible things he did, Krishna cursed him

so that no matter what he did he would not be able to die

he was doomed to experienced the most wretched life any person could ever live on earth

he would endlessly roam as a despicable being who would never receive love or affection until the end of time

now you might think okay so what's the big deal if you get to live forever

well his leg wasn't so good because the power ahwatthama forehead

which protected him from diseases was also removed by Krishna

he was given the terrible affliction of leprosy to suffer from for 3,000 years

and through this Krishna made ashwatthama immortality

the very bad of his existence such that he would always seek his death but he could never die

so for thousands of years ashwatthama was doomed to roam the outskirts of society

all along and to many followers of the Hindu faith it is believed that

until now the once powerful asvatthama still wanders the earth

and search for death in the end to his immortal curse

of course this sounds is very not real very fantasyesque

but supposedly there is proof that Ashwathama is still alive

one of the stories circulating online about the purported sightings of Ashwathama

involves a doctor in madhya pradesh of central india

who claimed to have encountered up patients with aseptic forehead

after several potions were applied to his forehead

the wound remained fresh and continued to bleed

amazed at his seemingly ageless and cureless injury

the doctor told to his patient whether he was secretly the missing Ashwathama

however before he could reapply more medicine to his room

the patient that suddenly disappeared into thin air and was gone without a trace

and spiritual gurus like the popular pilots Baba have purportedly claimed

to have encountered Ashwathama where he was studying with the local tribes at the Himalayan foothills

the immortal is also believed to have been sending flower offerings to shivling

in abstract representation of the Hindu deity Shiva

locals in the area also supposedly have seen a very tall man with a very distinct dent on his forehead

visit someone at the foothills every single year

during this time they said he eats all the food he can and he drinks no less than a 100 liters of water

once his thirst and hunger is satisfied the villagers allegedly claimed that he returns to the forests

and disappeared completely until his scheduled visits the following year

and in recent years news surfaced online that a 5000 year old man

is believed to be living as temples of wood our Pradesh in India

and for every temple that he visited this man were performed puja

were an act of revenues to the gods at the crack of dawn and made offerings

some of the locals believe that this immortal man is the ashwatthama mentioned in the Mahabharata

moreover they say that settings of asvatthama were rare since he still possessed godlike powers

which allowed him to choose whether he wanted to be seen by others

or whether he preferred to remain invisible

now whether these stories are true whether this 5000 year old man is still alive or not

I think we can learn a lot from this right

so here's a person who according to legend had unquestionable power and invincibility in warfare

but his lack of responsibility and self-interest proved to be his downfall

because that Spiderman was told great powers comes with great responsibilities right

but this guy chose to abuse his powers and

so in the end his greed and vengefulness did really not give him peace

and did not even bring him justice and speaking of his punishment

I feel like there's really nothing worse on earth than just pure long-term solitude and loneliness

there was an experiment lately where a woman was put in solitary confinement

and she had nothing around her

no interactions and she was going crazy after like a day

and now granted if the story was real all this guy could still go visit places

so it's not as bad as solitary confinement but it's still that good right

I mean if I was him I'd be Netflix films like crazy

alright guys thank y'all so much for watching this video. I'll see you later
