Is Ashwathama character from Mahabaratha still alive.........

It's too lengthy but this can be written only in the lengthy way but very very interesting.........

Day before yesterday while I was turning the channels A program "Nijam" from Sun TV attracted me. The topic of the day was whether the Ashwathama character from Mahabaratha is still alive or not.....

Let's go to Ashwathama's story.......

Ashwathama is one of the seven Chiranjeevins. Dronacharya loved him dearly. False rumours about his death in the Kurukshetra war led to the death of his father at the hands of Prince Dhrishtadyumna. A vengeful Ashwatthama obtained permission from the dying Duryodhana to brutally murder Dhrishtadhyumna after the war had officially ended. Ashwathama at the end of the war promised Duryodhana that he would kill the Pandavas, and attacked the Pandava camp in the middle of the night, but by error ended up murdering the 5 sons of the Pandavas by Draupadi.
The Pandavas, incensed by this act, chased him resulting in his fight with Arjuna. During the fight, Ashwatthama invoked the 'Brahmastra' against Arjuna and Arjuna in response invoked the 'Pashupatastra'. Fearing the destruction of the world, the sages advised both to take back their weapons. While Arjuna could do so, Ashwathama (presumably having less skill) could not and was given the option of choosing any single target to destroy. Out of spite, Ashwathama directed the weapon to the womb of Uttara, Arjuna's daughter-in-law.
At this time, Uttara was carrying the unborn Parikshit, son of Abhimanyu, who upon birth would be the future heir to all the Pandava brothers. The Brahmastra weapon was successful in fatally burning the foetus, but Krishna revived the still born child and cursed Ashwathama with leprosy and to roam the world for 3,000 years as an unloved castaway. In another version, it is believed that he is cursed to remain alive till the end of the Kaliyuga. It is believed that Ashwathama migrated to the land currently known as Arabian peninsula. [CITATION NEEDED]
Ashwathama also had to surrender a valuable gem set on his forehead, the wearer of which ceases to have any fear from weapons or disease or hunger, and he ceases to have any fear of gods and danavas and nagas.
Ashwathama was a great warrior and was even known to have revived the Kaurava army from sorrowness by invoking the Narayana astra. But Lord Krishna instructed the Pandava army to lay down their arms and hence the astra was finally conquered. He also invoked the agneyastra against Arjuna but he quelled it with the Brahmastra.
Ashwathama was one of the three survivors of the Kaurava army with Kritavarma and Kripacharya."

People locating in a place at Maharastars claims that still Ashwathama is roaming in that place. Also people says that, on daily basis Ashwathama is entering in to the siva temple and doing some pujas to Siva Lingam with some new flowers which is not available in near by places. some other says he is knocking the door and asking for the termeric powder and medicine for the wound thathe has in his head. Other says some people were bocome mentally disordered when they tried to investigate this and due to this the temple remains closed from 6.00 PM to next day morning 8.00 AM...

This is unbelivible but we have very high chance to believe, no other go......

God is every where.......
