Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Namaste all, There is a prayer, meditation practice, known as 'St Patrick's Breastplate'. The 'Breastplate' prayers are traditon within Celtic Christianity. Part of this prayer is: 'Christ before me, Christ behind me Christ on my right, Christ on my left Christ above me, Christ below me.' I used to adapt this by using many different words in place of, as well as, Christ. Then one day I found an almost identical practice within Asian traditions. I think the word 'light' was used. Now I want to find my source for that and cannot remember where it was. Have any members of this group any knowledge of such a tradition, or a similar format, within Asian advaitin or vishistadvaitin practice? Note for Sunderji: 'Thanks for the encouragement, parrots can quote very well but not always with understanding.'
