Note : Even today in Hindu tradition there is a custom in which on the birthday of a man his ancestral Guru or teacher for his family ties a wrist band which has seven knots in it. It is believed that the seven knots represent the seven immortals. They are Bali, Vyasa, Hanuman, Kripacharya, Parasurama, Aswathama and Vibhishana. The Hindus are supposed to worship these seven immortals on their birthdays. It is believed that if these seven immortals are worshipped, then the ritual purpose will be fulfilled and made immortal.
