What is atma chintan? This word comprises of two words ‘Atma’ and ‘Chintan’. Atma is what you really are and not what you see yourself as- this would make no sense to a being of kaliyug(the present yug) All you think yourself to be only the physical form that you see and this is what the role of kaliyug is- to delude you (bhramit karna). Yogi ji explains the concept of yog, birth and demise Let us try and understand how kaliyug has its effect by going back in the history, in the times of Yayati itself. Yayati was the ancestor of the kauravas and pandavas. Even after enjoying the pleasures of bhu lok for 4,000 years (by exchanging his curse of old age with youth of his son Puru), he was not satisfied and could not believe that 4,000 years had passed. So, even a dharmatma and noble king like Yayati, could not go beyond the svah (swarg) lok. Shantanu was a descendant of Yayati.
