Upasana Kamineni Konidela Suggests that Temple Lands be Used for Wellness and Healing!

Upasana Kamineni Konidela’s latest social media post has ignited an important and thought-provoking dialogue. Addressing one of the country’s most sensitive and often avoided subjects—temple lands—she presents a bold yet deeply rooted idea: transforming them into spaces of wellness, yoga, meditation, and community healing.

By reimagining temples not only as places of prayer but as centres for holistic well-being, Upasana highlights how reconnecting people through Dharma, yoga, and collective healing can significantly reduce India’s disease burden and elevate the nation’s happiness quotient.

Calling it a true aha moment for India, her message urges the country to reclaim its ancient wisdom and apply it meaningfully to modern life—making India healthier, happier, and spiritually grounded.

A thought that challenges convention, yet feels instinctively right—this is a vision many believe India must now embrace.
