# Gurukula Krishna consoled Vasudeva and Devaki for the traumatic incidents they had to endure, and expressed His indebtedness for each of their incredible sacrifices. After reinstating Ugrasena on the throne, many exiled family members returned and everyone felt safe and secure again. Krishna bade farewell to Nanda Maharaja, who returned to Vrindavana with all the cowherd community. To set the ideal example, Krishna and Balarama then took their vows of *brahmacarya* and began their education in Avantipura, at the school of Sandipani Muni. They learnt the detailed knowledge of the Vedas in sixty-four days and demonstrated how to suitably honour the spiritual master. Their traditional donation to the teacher came in the form of retrieving Sandipani Muni’s son from the abode of Yamaraja, the god of death. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
