Core message of the Fair - Desam, Daivam and DharmamThe core message of the Hindu Spiritual And Service Fair is founded on the confluence and inseverability of Desam [Nation] Daivam [Divinity] and Dharmam [Hindu value system].

It means that our nation [Desam] cannot exist without our Daivam [Divinity] and our Daivam [Divinity] cannot exist without our [Desam] nation and neither exist without Hindu value system [Dharmam].

The six themes are integrated into the value system [Dharmam] practised in this ancient land [Desam] and are exemplified by the Daivam [Divinity].
