"When a sincere soul searches for God, within him Krishna speaks, 'Here is your guru. Surrender to him and you will attain perfection.' To the guru, HE communicates, 'Accept this lost servant, train him and bring him to Me.'"

Rishi Sandipani was the guru of Lord Krishna. Knowledge is one of the unlimited energies eternally engaged in the service of God. Only HE can claim to be omniscient, all-knowing. Brahma, the adi-kavi received his knowledge and enlightenment from Narayana, the one who has been fulfilling everyone's desires since time immemorial. He is the actual source of ALL knowledge existing in the universe.

HE does not require any education. But playing the role of an earthly resident, Lord Krishna attended the gurukula of Sandipani Muni. In just sixty-four days, Krishna mastered all the necessary arts and sciences. Krishna displayed such remarkable memory power and immediately mastered every subject.

While living at Sandipani Muni's gurukula, Krishna endured severe hardship in serving his spiritual master. Although HIS body was delicate, HE went to the forest to collect firewood for the ashram. Once Krishna got lost in the forest during a rainstorm and spent the whole night sitting in a tree.

Krishna also enrolled in the school of love - to learn the dance of "prema" - from HIS guru Radhika.

"Of the intelligent, I am the intelligence
Of the powerful, I am the power"
- Bhagavad Gita (10.38)

In the Bhagavad-gita, Kṛishna says: buddhiḥ buddhi-matām asmi, "I am the intelligence of the intelligent."

Believing that HE is the source of all intelligence, devotees pray to the Lord for intelligence and the power of discrimination to advance on the path towards HIM and for this HE promises "I give intelligence to one who worships Me with love."
