“Expose the Devi. Destroy the DeviL.” Upasana Konidela’s Kamakhya Visit Carries a Powerful Message for Women

A play on two words separated by just one letter, the message reflects a deeper thought that every woman carries within her the strength of the Devi, and must find the courage to confront and destroy the fears, negativity and forces that diminish her power.

Her visit to Kamakhya, one of India’s most revered Shakti Peethas and an enduring symbol of feminine energy and transformation, made the message particularly significant. The visit also symbolises a moment of renewal embracing change, leaving behind what no longer serves us, and welcoming powerful new beginnings that are sure to unfold in the near future.

For Upasana, the thought is closely aligned with her continuing work around women’s empowerment encouraging women to take ownership of their health, financial independence, choices and lives.

“The Devi is already within every woman. Sometimes we simply need the courage to recognise her, bring her forward and destroy whatever holds her back. Every ending also creates space for a new beginning.”

Against the powerful spiritual backdrop of Kamakhya, “Expose the Devi. Destroy the DeviL.” becomes more than clever wordplay. It is a reminder for women to recognise their inner Shakti, stand firmly in their power and move forward with courage, purpose and faith.

A powerful message from a powerful place signalling strength, transformation and new beginnings.
