Summary

The High History of the Holy Graal is a captivating 13th-century prose narrative that delves into the legendary quest for the Holy Grail, intertwining themes of chivalry, faith, and the supernatural. The text is characterized by its intricate tapestry of Arthurian legends, blending courtly romance with spiritual allegory. Written in a period steeped in the chivalric culture of medieval Europe, the work reflects the era's fascination with divine quests and the moral struggles of its knights. Its stylistic elements, comprising poetic dialogues and vivid imagery, serve to engage the reader while reinforcing the ethical dilemmas faced by its characters, particularly regarding the nature of true piety versus earthly desires. The author, thought to be anonymous, likely drew upon a rich cultural heritage of oral traditions and existing Arthurian tales. This narrative may have emerged from a milieu in which the ideals of knighthood were celebrated, yet also questioned, reflecting the complexities of identity and spirituality in a transitional period of history marked by both the Crusades and evolving perspectives on faith. The author's choice to remain unnamed suggests a deliberate departure from individual glory, emphasizing the collective significance of the legend. Readers are encouraged to immerse themselves in this timeless exploration of noble pursuit and moral integrity. The High History of the Holy Graal is not just a tale of adventure but a meditation on the intersection of human ambition and divinely ordained purpose. It remains a crucial piece for anyone interested in Arthurian literature or in understanding the broader cultural fabric of the Middle Ages.

    We consider some of the most life-changing principles we have encountered since our new birth as Christians. Scripture tells us that we are to "prepare ourselves" for Christ’s soon return. What exactly does this mean? What if we aren’t prepared? What is justification, sanctification, and glorification? Being ready, fit, and prepared will dramatically affect our role, our position, and our place of responsibility in the future millennial kingdom. Chuck and Nancy share not only the Scriptural importance of why we need to be "prepared" but also what we need to do to be prepared.

    * "Whoever works for God, his work will be done by itself."* "Keep God in your heart like you keep money in the bank."Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a great Hindu guru, mystic, and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is very well known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in Kainchi, Vrindavan, Rishikesh, Shimla, Neem Karoli village near Khimasepur in Farrukhabad, Bhumiadhar, Hanumangarhi, Delhi in India, and in Taos, New Mexico. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti-yoga and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God.There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji” – a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was "nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke.
