The Lord has given His ever-standing promise that He would appear on earth whenever
there is a danger to Dharma, whenever Adharma tries to vanquish Dharma. To fulfil that
promise He has appeared many times in the form of saints and sages who have protected Dharma
from decay and from the onslaughts of foreign oppression. They have instilled new elements of
vigour and perspective in Hinduism. Therefore, Hinduism continues to flourish. Whenever there
is a necessity, saints and sages will emerge, not from the heavens, but from among the people
themselves.
Hinduism does not believe exclusively in one prophet. The prophecies given in the
Puranas about the state of affairs to come have also proved true.
