In the Trimandir, Gods of Jainism, Shaivism, and Vaishnavism (along with Gods and Goddesses from other religions) are given equal reverence on the same platform. Trimandir was built to fulfil Dada Bhagwan's intent to unite religion on a platform of impartiality, and to instil these values in the youth of today the Trimandir School Visit (TSV) was initiated.

Annually approximately 750 schools, 5000 teachers and 60,000 students participate in this program.
