The Personality of Kali conspired with Śṛṅgi to kill to Mahārāja Parīkṣit and usher in Kaliyuga.
*
… Mahārāja Parīkṣit, when he saw that a black man was going to kill one cow, immediately he took his sword: “Who are you? I shall kill you immediately.” That was king’s stricture. So the Kali was ordered to get out of his kingdom. He begged of his life: “Sir, you are going to kill me. But it is my time. I have now come, and it is my business, cow-killing. So what can I do? This is my business.” So Mahārāja Parīkṣit understood that now the Kali-yuga is coming. So it is his business. So “I am as king. How can I stop his business?” That is also another problem. One must be occupied, one must be engaged in his business. Therefore, he asked him to go to these places. Where? In the slaughterhouse, in the brothel for illicit sex, and slaughterhouse and in the drunkard den for intoxication, and gambling place. So Kali was in difficulty to find out a place like that in that time. He could not find. Therefore there was conspiracy to kill the king so that Kali can enter….

Bhagavad-gītā 2.2-6

Ahmedabad, December 11, 1972
__
….Just like Mahārāja Parīkṣit, Arjuna’s grandson, when he was touring in his empire… The whole world was at that time Indian empire. Not Indian exactly. Bhārata-varṣa. Now we have imitated some name, Bhārata, the “Indian,” “Hindustan.” But formerly the whole planet was known as Bhārata-varṣa. So when he saw that one black man was trying to kill one cow, immediately he took his sword: “Immediately I shall kill you. Who are you, killing cows in my kingdom?” This is kṣatriya’s business. So… But there is no kṣatriya now because so many cows are being killed. Nobody is protesting. It is the duty of the kṣatriya to protect every living entity born in the land, in his kingdom. It is not that, as it is going on now, that only the human beings should be protected and not the animals. No animal could be killed except in sacrifice, as prescribed. Unnecessarily, there was no need of killing animals. That is great sin. Dyūtaṁ pānaṁ striyaḥ sūnā yatrādharmaś catur-vidhaḥ [SB 1.17.38]. Striya, illicit connection with woman, is sinful life. Unnecessarily killing animals, that is sinful life. Intoxication, that is sinful life. Gambling, that is also sinful life. When this Kali was excused, he surrendered himself to Mahārāja Parīkṣit that “You have asked me to go out of your kingdom, but where is out of your kingdom? The whole world is your kingdom. So kindly give me some place where I can stay.” So Mahārāja Parīkṣit gave him these four places, that “You can stay where illicit sex life is going on.” That mean prostitution. “And unnecessary animals are killed, slaughterhouse.” Striya-sūnā-pāna-dyūta [SB 1.17.38].”Where intoxicants are indulged in or gambling. In these four places you can stay.” So at that time, Kali could not find out such place, throughout the whole world. So he was disturbed. So there was conspiracy to kill Mahārāja Parīkṣit because the Kali could understand that so long Mahārāja Parīkṣit would live, it is impossible to find out a slaughterhouse or a brothel or a drinking house. No.

Note: As one can see here there are and have been conspiracies everywhere at anytime in history. Whether it was Kali and Śṛṅgi, the Roman Empire or today. These are Conspiracies but not Theories. It must be so as long as Greed and Envy are the predominant qualities. The modes of Passion and Ignorance feed on these qualities and consequently destruction is imminent. As soon as one leaves the path of righteousness by submitting to cheap masters one is contaminated by sin, an accomplice and is part of the game. If one is sincere he can than only pray to the Lord for forgiveness and work double hard for atonement (doubling down on ones sadhana).
Kali has scorched the planet, making one and all complicit and obedient traitors. Mahārāja Parīkṣit was betrayed by Śṛṅgi, Śrīla Prabhupāda by some upstarts. Cows are betrayed by farmers, men by women, women by men, children by parents and so on. Planet Earth in 2024 is overloaded with cheaters, compliers and liars. If even one liar is too much to bear for Mother Bhūmi what to talk of 8 billion??
Let’s be clear, Kali has the world as we know it teetering at the edge, Kali knows how to bullshit everyone, it’s Orwellian on steroids, the well has been poisoned…
There is no greater sin than treachery. As they say: ‘He who betrays a trusting friend, shall remain in Naraka (Hell) for as long as the sun and moon continue to shine.’
