From times immemorial, the great saints, the upholders of righteousness in human form, have been appearing in the world, driven by a benevolent motive to uplift the depraved humanity.

They started various religious sects as per the need of the times. After their departure as inspirational humans, their pronounced followers diverted from their true teachings and refused to follow their truthful successors of the sects.

It is human nature not to follow the true teachings of the great souls, then who would come to the words of beings like himself. That is why the Torchbearers of righteous living, the Apostles of Truth, have to take birth in this world in human form from time to time so that they are able to help human beings rejoin the path of moral living which is the real living.
