Asantehene confers Yaa Asantewaa title on Indian Monk
The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has adopted an
Indian Female Monk as a daughter of the Asante
Kingdom, giving her the venerable title Yaa
Asantewaa.

According to Sri Jayanthi Kumaraswani, she was
taken in as a daughter of the Kingdom by the
revered monarch of the Ashanti Kingdom Saturday
April 1, 2017 when she visited the Kingdom.

Reveling in her new name, Sri Jayanthi
Kumaraswani, who is a female monk said on Morning
Starr Tuesday April 4, 2017 that “Asantehene
gave me the name Yaa Asantewaa on Saturday Ist
April” adding “On my visit to Kumasi he
[Asantehene] adopted me as a daughter of the
Ashanti Kingdom.”

Shedding more light on her activities as a monk,
she said at age 11 she could accurately predict
what happens in the future.

“I changed my dress code when I noticed that I
had divine backing,” she told host of Morning
Starr, Francis Abban.

Sri Jayanthi Kumaraswami who grew up in the
Southern part of India, in her attempt to
demystify the mysticism that is associated with
the activities of monks said they are as human as
anyone.

Even though, there are few female monks in India,
she said she has never had a challenge being one.

Moving forward, Sri Jayanthi Kumaraswami noted
that for one to succeed he or she needs to
“regenerate” him or herself.
