How Did Kaliyuga Begin?

How Did Kaliyuga Begin?

As per Shrimad Bhagavad on the ninth day of the Mahabharata war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, the third yuga which is the Dwapar Yuga had ended and the last yuga which is the Kali yuga had begun. However, because of the power of lord Krishna, Kali could not spread throughout the earth and was restricted to the battlefields and war grounds. Krishna's death was a major blow to Arjuna. To know about the full story of Krishna’s death watch the video linked in the comments below. Despite having everything he had ever desired, Arjuna had lost interest in life. His troubled state of mind took him to sage Vyasa. Muni Vyasa suggested that he renounce everything and move to the Himalayas. Abhimanyu and Uttara’s son Parikshit had also grown enough to take responsibility for the kingdom. Thus Yudhisthira decided to bring his 36 years of rule to an end and crowned king Parikshit as the emperor of the Kuru dynasty. After the departure of Shri Krishna, Kali started spreading evil in the minds of people. But Kali could not enter Parikshit's kingdom, as he was a kind ruler and a follower of Dharma. Once when king Parikshit was returning to his capital, he saw an ox standing with only one leg and a cow standing nearby gazing at him. They were talking to each other like human beings. The cow said to the ox that as long as Krishna was alive, all four of his legs representing penance, charity, purity and truth were safe; but now that three of your legs are broken, you can walk only on the strength of truth. With the onset of kali yuga, your fourth leg would also be broken. As they were conversing, Kali yuga came in the form of a Shudra and started beating the ox and the ox. The king, who was watching all this from a distance, could not bear to see this gruesome sight and immediately came to the rescue of the ox. The king assured both of them that he would kill kali yuga then and right there he raised his sword to do so. A trembling kali yuga started praying for his protection and fell at his feet.
