Theme Analysis

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that Kṛṣṇa is simultaneously the origin of all education and knowledge and the perfect exemplar of accepting education within human society. Although all wisdom emanates from Him, Kṛṣṇa performs educational pastimes to establish the divine standard of learning, humility, and proper conduct. His education demonstrates that true knowledge descends through disciplic succession and ultimately culminates in understanding the science of Kṛṣṇa.
