On the legal basis of its statutes, the "Stiftung Gralsbotschaft" aims to help humanity to progress spiritually and morally. For this purpose it disseminates the work "In the Light of Truth - Grail Message" from Abd-ru-shin, containing spiritual and ethical knowledge therein and promotes understanding between the different peoples.
In addition to the writings of Abd-ru-shin, the Foundation and its subsidiaries will only publish books that make use of the Grail Message as a reference. This is based on the fact that the international statutory mission of the Foundation is primarily the dissemination of the Grail Message in all languages and in all countries on the planet and is done through appropriate means such as public meetings, conferences, seminars, etc.
The Grail Message is now available in 17 languages and associated works are also published in several languages.
In Germany and Austria, the main work of Abd-ru-shin (Oskar Ernst Bernhardt) "In the Light of Truth - Grail Message," was banned in 1938 by the National Socialist regime. It could not be reissued until after the war in 1945. This was achieved by Maria Bernhardt Publishing, Vomperberg, Tirol (Austria). To disseminate the Grail Message more efficiently, Maria Bernhardt created a foundation that became the starting point for the dissemination of the work of Abd-ru-shin throughout the world.
This institution was established in Germany in 1950. The "Stiftung Gralsbotschaft" was endorsed by the Ministry of Education and Culture and Finance Administration in Baden-Wuerttemberg as having a legal capacity and was recognized as a public service based on its statutes. The headquarters of the "Stiftung Gralsbotschaft" has been in Stuttgart since 1963, and the Publisher resides in Ditzingen. Since 1996 this institution publishes the works of Abd-ru-shin and other related books as well as the "GralsWelt" a periodic magazine. [A similar magazine is available in English: "GrailWorld".]
There exist many subsidiaries in several countires around the world on all continents that work to disseminate the work of Abd-ru-shin in the same way as the «Stiftung» does in Germany.
Since 1989, the president of the "Stiftung Gralsbotschaft" is Jürgen Sprick, a lawyer in economics who is also the commercial director of the Stiftung Gralsbotschaft Publisher, LLC.
In Germany and abroad, the Foundation participates in book fairs, exhibitions and other related events at which time they present various books published by the Publisher that are associated with the dissemination of the Grail Message. All activities are financed mainly by the Stiftung Gralsbotschaft. However, revenue from the sale of books alone cannot meet with the high cost of translation, printing and marketing. As a result, the financial commitments of the Stiftung Gralsbotschaft are covered for a large part by donations made by individuals and members worldwide.
In Germany, these donations are tax deductible and a receipt can be issued upon request. [this is available in Canada as well.]
