The Hindu Spiritual & Service Fair

A fair under the umbrella of GFCH (Global Foundation for Civilizational Harmony) happenned a month ago in Chennai.. It was a good thing.. need of the hour and all that... Here is a link that gives a glimpse of the genesis and reason for doing such a fair..

Let me give my own thoughts on the fair... We, as Hindus already know how great our religion is and how it is not just a religion, it is a way of life and greatnes of Sanathana Dharma. But today, what is also important is how we are perceived by others. Its not just good enough to practice Sanathana Dharma and be in our little islands, its important to get this message across to the rest of the world. This, is I think is what this fair and such fairs in future can serve... educate and improve perception of Hindu based organizations.
