Why do some teachers of Kundalini Yoga have two names?
Many teachers of Kundalini Yoga request a spiritual name. This is a name that is given by Yogi Bhajan, the master teacher of Kundalini Yoga. It represents the highest purpose of the person who is called by that name. A spiritual name is like a personal mantra. Many Kundalini Yoga teachers use both their birth name and their spiritual name; these teachers have two names given for them on the schedule and are happy to be called by either name.
