&

As discussed in this answer

Both Hanumana and Vibhishana are supposed to live on earth till the history of Lord Rama remains current:

Chapter 121, Uttarakanda, Valmiki Ramayana

Rama then said to Vibhishana the king of Rakshasas: As long as people shall breathe, O Vibhishana, O highly powerful lord of Rakshasas, thou shalt preserve thy body in Lanka.

As long as the moon, the sun and the earth shall exist and as long as my story shall remain current, thy kingdom shall be in existence.

.....

Having thus addressed the king of Rakshasas always obeying Raghava s command, Kakuthstha said to Hanuman "It is settled that thou shalt live forever, do thou, now observe thy promise. As long as my history shall run current in this world do thou at my command live happily." Being thus addressed by the high souled Raghava Hanuman attained to great delight and said: As long as the sacred theme shall pass current in this world I shall live here carrying out thy commands.

Answer 2

अश्वत्थामा बलिर्व्यासो हनुमानश्च विभीषणः। कृपः परशुरामश्च सप्तैते चिरंजीविनः।।

Padmapuran

There are 7 immortals or chiranjeevi present on the earth. 1 ashwatthama 2 King Bali (satyug) 3 ved vyas 4 hanuman 5 vibhishan 6 kripacharya 7 parshuram

Answer 3

Bhagwan is said to be omnipresent, and that makes this question not correct, Sri Tyagaraja swamigal said that Koorma is still living in the beach and the sound of beach is the sound of him breathing, Krishna does live in the hearts of his devotees and this was the reason Kulasekara Alwar used to worship devotees rather than Bhagwan. So all of this shows God is still with us today!. Also people say they have spotted Hanuman chanting Ram in the himalayas. Markandeya Maharishi who has blessings of Lord Shiva has no death so he too is with us right now

Even Vyasa Maharishi, Aswathama, Bhalichakravathy, Hanuman, Bhagwan Parshuram, Vibhisa, Kripacharya are all immortals with respect to Padma Puran

Answer 4

Bhagwan Parashuram

Hanuman ji

Kripacharya (who gave pandavas and kauravas Thier early education)

Maharishi VEDA VYASA (who wrote Mahabharata)
