Significance of Academic learning
In Vaishnavism, academic learning is characterized by a focus on faith in Lord Vishnu's supremacy, even if formal education is lacking. In contrast, Science defines academic learning as the process of gaining knowledge and skills through structured educational methods, including traditional classroom coursework. Thus, while Vaishnavism emphasizes spiritual faith, science highlights systematic educational approaches in acquiring knowledge.
