On September 1, 2026, Upasana vowed to complete Sundara Kandam Parayana in 21 days, and on Monday, she successfully completed it. But her spiritual journey turned out to be more profound.
Over a year ago, she commissioned Arun Yogiraj ji (the sculptor of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya) to create a special Sri Ram idol for her 93-year-old grandfather, Prathap Reddy. His lifelong devotion to Sundara Kandam recitation always inspired her. Coincidentally, the Sri Ram idol was also ready on the same day (the 21st day) of her parayana. “I don’t believe this is a coincidence. I believe it is divine timing,” shares Upasana, adding, “May Sri Rama and Hanuman ji give us the strength to face every challenge with maryada, grace and unwavering faith.”
Upasana also frequently visits sacred shrines and uses the occasion to share empowering messages centred on divine feminine strength and cultural heritage.
