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. He wanted to marry Ganga but she put forth a condition that he must never question any of her ...

Creation is cyclical in nature. There is an upward curve followed by a downward curve. We are presently on the downward curve of creation, the peak of Kalyug. If you look around, everything is on a decline or fast deteriorating. Let us take the health of humans as an example, if you compare your body and level of activity to that of your grandparents when they were your age, you would find, they had fitter and stronger bodies and were able to too much more work than yourself. Then if you go back a few hundred years and compare their bodies to those of their forefathers, a similar trend would be observed. In fact, there is a modern research which confirms that the brain size of humans is shrinking with time.

Forests are fast disappearing, foods are laden with toxins, water is contaminated, air is unbreathable, wildlife is thinning out. In general, ne...

The purpose of your life is experiencing the desire which brought you here. We take birth because of desire and for a lifetime we remain prisoners of this desire, forgetting the purpose of our life and taking the downward spiral by entangling ourselves in the various attractions of the physical world namely, relationships, career — the web of maya.  The purpose of your life is experiencing the desire which brought you here. And desire is unending, as it starts the cycle of karma until the soul decides that the purpose is over and it needs to go back home. You have to pay back for your every karma. While it’s fine to experience and enjoy the pleasures, it is also important to remember the purpose of your life and that for every pleasure you indulge in, there comes an associated pain. That maintains the balance in this creation. We are limited with our senses and the limitations of our mind cannot comprehend either our life’s purpose or the ways to ac...

There is pyramidal structure to Creation, your position in the pyramid is determined by your desire. Every being is born with a specific desire and matching to that desire finds a Guru. As one holds the hand of the Guru, he/she moves to that level of the pyramid and the desire manifests. The problem begins after, as then, usually the person gets caught in the desire and is unable to move further. So he/she slips, and begins the downwards journey. The problem of kalyug is that our desires are embedded into the physical, physical is what the majority understands, so even when one sets on a search for Guru, he/she measures him on physical yardsticks – how big is his ashram, how many factories does he own, etc. Beyond that, one is unable to comprehend, missing out on the essence of what the Guru is. In present times one would give more respect to a Math’s teacher than a Guru, for the thought pattern is – ‘At least he will teach me something which...

When we read the ancient vedic texts like puranas etc, we come across human beings with supernatural abilities, exuding phenomenal strength. We hear of women with amazing beauty and radiance, which used to even attract gods. When we compare these beings with today’s people, they seem like unbelievable stories and myths. Hence, the term mythology… I really don’t blame the people for calling all this mythology, as it is not possible for a normal mind that exists in the present day and age to believe such facts to be true. If we logically think and observe our grandfathers, we would notice that their bodies were stronger and much healthier than ours. Our grandmothers had beautiful skins even till the late years, that too without recourse to artificial aids and beauty treatments. Modern science now tells us that the human brain and bodies have shrunk over time. So if we just project ourselves backwards, we would observe that the mythologies were realities and if we project oursel...

वैदिक संस्कृति की परिकल्पना आज से हज़ारो वर्षो पूर्व वैदिक ऋषियों द्वारा की गई थी , जिनका सृष्टिकर्ता के साथ सीधा संपर्क था। महर्षि वेद व्यास जी ने समाज में होने वाले अपकर्ष और संस्कृति पर आने वाले संकट का पूर्वानुमान लगाते हुए वेदों के ज्ञान को पुराणों के माध्यम से हमें 5000 वर्षो पूर्व लिखित रूप में दिया। इन सब पुराणों में ,श्रीमद देवी भागवत में विभिन्न युगों सतयुग ,त्रेतायुग , द्वापरयुग ,कलियुग की विस्तार से व्याख्या की गई है। इस लेख के अनुसार जो मनुष्य धर्म का पालन करते हैं वे सतयुग में जन्म लेते हैं। जिनकी प्रीति धर्म और अर्थ (भौतिक सम्पन्नता ) दोनों में है वे त्रेतायुग में जन्म लेते हैं। जो धर्म, अर्थ और काम (इच्छाएं) तीनो में प्रीती रखते हैं वे द्वापर में जन्म लेते हैं तथा जो सिर्फ अर्थ और काम में लिप्त होते हैं वे कलयुग में जन्म लेते हैं। अत: सतयुग में योग-ज्ञान था, त्रेता में ध्यान के माध्यम से ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ। द्वापर युग में कर्म प्रधान हुआ और श्री कृष्ण ने गीता के माध्यम से निष्काम कर्म सिखाया। प्रत्येक प्राणी की सहायता अनासक्त होकर करना वर्तमान कलियुग का यो...

Creation is an unending cycle. It has no beginning or end. It’s a continuous process which is divided into mahayugs, which are further subdivided into yugs — Sat, Treta, Dwapar and Kali. Each yug has its traits by which it is defined and a specific level of existence, which it holds in its folds. The beings that inhabit each yug vibrate at a specific pranic frequency. This frequency determines their qualities, nature and forms. Satyug is the time when dharma is at its peak. As a result, environment is healthy, natural resources abound, there is little corruption and treachery. The frequencies are extremely subtle. The time is conducive to subtlest frequencies manifesting in physical body. Health and lifespan of men is at its peak. The exit route for Satyug is direct gyan in the sanidhya of guru . Treta yug is marked by dharma losing its one leg. The environment deteriorates and crimes increase. The frequencies are less subtle as are men and their bodies. In this yug, it is not...

Few days back a certain spiritual guru was ca ught up in a sex-scandal, a little before that some other was accused of deceiving people by offering impractical solutions, yet another was seen fleeing away in the guise of a woman from a political rally, the same gentleman was found in a hospital getting treated for dengue after having sold treatments to all kinds of diseases to the world. Another person having failed in his business grew a beard and started teaching spirituality (now he is flourishing). There is a spiritual organisation that has roped in an MBA to give lectures on television, the lady earned them a lot of following but on the subject of spirituality she calls atma as at-ma and shanti as shanty.... (Dhwani is the basis of spiritual sciences. Every sound is a vibration and corresponds to a specific energy. If you change the frequency of that vibration, then the energy changes, as does its effect.) If someone takes upon the role of a spiritual guide and adulterates th...
