The Grail Movement is an organization which originated in Germany in the late 1940s, inspired by the work of Oskar Ernst Bernhardt (also known by his pen nameAbd-ru-shin), principally In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message. Abd-ru-shin did not establish the organization, the Movement as it exists today was formally organized by followers.
The Grail Movement is a new spiritual movement dedicated to the dissemination and spread of the work In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin. Most members reside in Western Europe, primarily Germany and France, and the group claims to have hundreds of members in Britain and in the USA. It can also be found in Canada, Brazil and in some West African countries such as Nigeria, Zaire (DR Congo) and Côte d'Ivoire, as well as in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand among others.
Worldwide, there are about 10,000 members of the Grail Movement. A declaration of the personal commitment to adhere to the principles of the Grail Message can be made by a request for the "Sealing", a Grail Act (ceremony) that takes place during one of three annual festivals. This, however, is a personal decision on the part of the individual and leads neither to commitment to an organization nor to formal links with other adherents.
