Naming Ceremonies
| From Ravi Kaur Khalsa of Española, New Mexico, USA |

At the end of the 3 week Self Mastery (Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training) courses we have a 3 hour closing ceremony. During the ceremony we have the person who requested a name stand up, and then we read their new spiritual name and its meaning. The whole class (up to 120 people) applauds, oohs and ahhs.
Towards the end of the ceremony the students pick a random Yogi Bhajan quote out of a bowl to read as their personal quote. They stand in front of the group and introduce themselves using their spiritual name and say, "in the consciousness of a teacher...." and then read their personal quote.
It's quite powerful and people start to feel a connection with their new destiny right away.
