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 name Abd-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 readers. <!-- Commented out this section. It needs to be incorporated into the article as prose. "In the Light of Truth" is published and distributed by the Grail Message Foundation (Stiftung Gralsbotschaft), with headquarters in Germany.

The Grail Movement is NOT a religious movement, although it has been erroneously described as such by some. In fact Abd-ru-shin states clearly in the foreword to his work that he does not bring a new religion. Rather, his word is addressed to earnest seekers only, who "must be able and willing to examine this matter objectively!..." The Grail Message "is intended as the torch to help all serious listeners or readers find the right path, which leads them to the longed-for height..." It follows from this that a religious movement would be a contradiction of what the Grail Message stands for and what Abd-ru-shin intended. Correctly stated, the Grail Movement is the endeavor to bring to the awareness of humanity the existence of the work "In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message" by Abd-ru-shin. Why? Because it contains the values that will enable any serious seeker find answers to all questions and solutions to all problems. The work is addressed to the individual. It does not seek to form an association or group. No one is required to join the Grail Movement which in itself, being merely the representation of an endeavor, is of little importance. What is important, and should be the object of focus, is "The Grail Message". It is also erroneous to speak of "members" or "membership"! You do not become a member of the Grail Movement because you have read the Grail Message and, stuck by its high values and the knowledge of creation and the natural laws which it brings, have decided to try to live according to these laws.
