Dharma is the cosmic law which holds things, people, families, society, nations, and the countless, disparate elements of the cosmos together as a cohesive, harmonious and meaningful whole.

Satyam is the essential truth of a situation, deeper and more complex than the surface appearance. It is a result of ‘buddhi’ penetrating the threadbare essence of a situation.
