Holy Grail as defined by Oxford Languages dictionaries have two meanings:

The first being the cup or platter Jesus Christ supposed to have used in his last supper, in the upper room of the building with his disciples. The second being the eagerly sought after medical cure for all holy grail”.

The second one was explained by me in this forum and can be reached here:

Understanding Holy Grail in Western Medicines, MRI Machines etc.

(Incidentally our medics, specialist included, seem to have no idea what happens in MRI machines. I came to know this when a specialist told me about it the other day. So, the medical council please take note.)

However there seems to be another, which was sought after by the Hiler’s Nazis according to link given below:

It seems this is something connected with German folklore and they believe that who ever that poses it will rule the world. My proposition here is that the ‘’holy grail” that they are looking for is right here in this land in the form of ‘Sakwala Chakra’ or Stargate in Ranmusu Uyana in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.

Come to think of it: All the colonial powers that controlled Ceylon (or Ceylao) virtually controlled the world at their zenith of power. The Brits were the last, but they are the ones who effectively controlled us via a bunch of Colombo centred people until today. And they appear to be losing that control to our big brother, next door.

During the World War II, they had their headquarters in Rosemead Place (not in India) called Eastern Command and they won over Japan, the aggressor. Since their influence is waning now many big powers are falling over each other using their financial (and minority) clout to grab it.

Shouldn’t our folks be mindful about the design of various power to avert another calamity like what we had for thirty years when voting in about a week’s time?.

As usual let me end this with the German version of a song, Marina by the Italian singer Rocco Granata (the guy who started the Eurovision song contest), that came around 1960 which I heard for the first time in the Arts theatre of Peradeniya university, kind curtesy of our Kultur group who used to control the affairs in it during early 60s. That university had been ‘open more than usual’ for everybody since then, including fellows from distant villages like mine.

For those who can afford time to indulge, here are some irresistible (unwiderstehlich) ones from the same Austrian guy:
