The Kali Yuga, is the fourth and final age of the world cycle (Yuga Cycle) described in scriptures like the Mahabharata, the Vishnu Purana, and the Bhagavata Purana. When Kaliyuga descended on earth ?

It was a time when the great war of Kurukshetra had just ended, marking the ending of the Dvapara Yuga. Shri Krishna, had fulfilled His divine purpose of restoring dharma by helping the Pandavas defeat the Kauravas. By ending the terror of Kansa , by ending the many Asurā

Krishna, who knew that His time on Earth was coming to an end, retired to the forest of Prabhas Kshetra (modern-day Gujarat). His Yadava clan, however, was plagued by infighting, fueled by a curse from the sages. The clan members, intoxicated and overcome with pride, fought among themselves, leading to their mutual destruction.

This event was foretold as a necessary end to Krishna’s mission on Earth. One day, while meditating under a tree in Prabhas Kshetra, Shri Krishna lay with His foot partially exposed. A hunter named Jara, mistaking His foot for a deer, shot an arrow. When the hunter approached and realized his mistake, he fell at Krishna’s feet, seeking forgiveness.

Krishna smiled, consoled him, and assured Jara that this was part of the divine plan. At this moment, Krishna’s mortal form left the Earth, and His divine essence returned to Vaikuntha, the eternal abode of Vishnu. This marked the conclusion of the Dvapara Yuga.

Krishna, who had come to Earth with a mortal body, accepted this as the final act of His leela Before leaving His mortal form, Krishna blessed the hunter and ascended to His heavenly abode. The moment Krishna left the Earth, it is said that Kaliyuga began.

The ancient scriptures state that the precise time of Kaliyuga’s commencement was marked by a rare cosmic alignment. The great Indian astronomer Aryabhata calculated this event in his treatise, Aryabhatiya. According to him, Kaliyuga began at midnight on February 17/18, 3102 BCE.

The celestial signs that accompanied the start of Kaliyuga included the alignment of the seven visible planets and the rise of the star Revati, indicating the cosmic shift from one era to another. Even though Kaliyuga is considered the era of spiritual decline, it is also said to be the most favorable time for attaining Moksha.

Shri Krishna assured that whenever adharma prevails, He will incarnate again to restore balance. It is believed that Shri Vishnu will appear as Kalki, the final avatar, to end Kaliyuga and usher in a new cycle of creation.
