Krishna is referred to as the "Yogeshvara," the Master of all Yogis and the Supreme Master of all mystical practices, due to His unparalleled understanding and mastery of the different paths of yoga, as well as His ability to transcend the limitations of time, space, and the material world. The title Yogeshvara reflects Krishna's divine status as the ultimate authority and teacher of all spiritual disciplines, particularly the various yogas that lead to self-realization and liberation.

One of the primary reasons Krishna is considered the Master of all Yogis is His intimate knowledge of the nature of the soul, the universe, and the ultimate reality. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna explains the different paths of yoga—karma yoga (the yoga of selfless action), bhakti yoga (the yoga of devotion), jnana yoga (the yoga of knowledge), and raja yoga (the yoga of meditation)—demonstrating that He is the ultimate goal and guide for all these practices.

Krishna's role as Yogeshvara is also reflected in His divine abilities to perform extraordinary feats and to be omnipresent in the lives of all beings. As the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He is not bound by the limitations of the material world. He is capable of guiding each soul on its spiritual journey, regardless of the individual's path or circumstances. His ability to engage in divine play (lila) within the world while simultaneously being the source of all existence makes Him the ultimate yogi. Unlike ordinary yogis, who may achieve a high level of spiritual realization but are still bound by the material world, Krishna is fully detached, yet fully engaged with all creation.
