In today's time, the average age of a human being is considered to be between 70-80 years. If a person eats very well and lives in a favorable environment, then he can live up to 100-125 years. But have you ever wondered how old Bhishma Pitamah and Shri Krishna would have been thousands of years ago, at the time of Mahabharata?
Age of Bhishma Pitamah during Mahabharata
Bhishma Pitamah was an important character in the Mahabharata war. His real name was Devavrata, but he was better known as Bhishma Pitamah. Devavrata was born when his father, King Shantanu, married Ganga. Devavrata got the name Bhishma Pitamah when he took a vow to spend his entire life in celibacy to ensure his father's marriage to Satyavati.
It is said that when Bhishma Pitamah was 22 years old, his father married Satyavati. At that time Devavrata had become eligible for marriage, but he himself never got married for the happiness of his father.
At the time of the Mahabharata war, which lasted for 18 days, Bhishma Pitamah was 170 years old. The reason for this long life was his strict celibacy and dedication. At the end of the war, he gave up his body on his deathbed.
Age of Shri Krishna and the war of Mahabharata
There is disagreement among scholars about the age of Shri Krishna, another important character in the Mahabharata. It is believed that Shri Krishna was about 56 years old at the time of the Mahabharata war. However, some scholars believe that he was 83 years old at that time. Shri Krishna died at the age of 119. Arjuna was 55 years old at the time of the Mahabharata war, and Bhishma Pitamah was about 150 years old. There is a huge difference between the age of the time of Mahabharata and the age of today. While the average age of a person is considered to be 70-80 years in today's time, people lived for hundreds of years during the Mahabharata. This is clearly evident from the lives of great men like Bhishma Pitamah and Shri Krishna. By following their lives and adopting their ideals, we can make our lives healthy and long even today.
