From Ancient Lineage to Modern Vision: Princess Mataji Maa Tejomayee Devi’s Journey as President of the Marine Foundation Monaco
Princess Mataji Maa Tejomayee Devi: A Royal Legacy of African Heritage and Global Influence
Princess Mataji Maa Tejomayee Devi, also known as Mataji or Estha Divine, is a modern icon of grace, power, and spiritual depth. Princess Mataji is the President of the Marine Foundation Monaco and a distinguished First Ladies Club Royal Department member. She brings to Monaco and beyond a legacy shaped by her rich African heritage, international experience, and deeply rooted spirituality. Her journey, marked by a powerful blend of traditional African roots, European upbringing, and a profound commitment to art and humanitarian work, sets her apart as a leader who bridges worlds and inspires positive change.
A Heritage of African Royalty and Ancestral Wisdom
Born Esther Dobong’Na Essiene, Princess Mataji is the granddaughter of the revered Grand Chief Henri Matip Ma Soundjock of the Bassa tribe, a proud people with ancient ties to the lands now encompass Cameroon. Her ancestry traces back to the Ndog Njè lineage, one of the oldest in the region, reaching back to the first civilizations of Egypt and Nubia, with her forebears among the earliest inhabitants of Yaoundé, now Cameroon’s capital. The migration from Egypt into central Africa and the establishment of communities in what is now the Sanaga Maritime region reflect her lineage’s resilience and rich cultural heritage. Though colonialism sought to diminish this history, Princess Mataji holds the legacy of her forefathers and foremothers close to her heart. She is committed to restoring and honoring the royal legacy of her people.
Her royal lineage extends to her maternal side as well. She is the granddaughter of Chief Jules Jonas Essiéné, the Chief of Bokaga-Bokito in the Yambassa Bafia region of Cameroon. This heritage is deeply significant, as it represents not only the pride of being descended from the original stewards of these lands but also the collective strength of her people. The traditions, values, and wisdom passed down through the generations have imbued her with an enduring respect for her culture, which she preserves and promotes through her work.
Moreover, Princess Mataji’s family story intertwines with the legendary figure of Ruben Um Nyobe, her grand-uncle, a prominent freedom fighter and martyr whose life was tragically cut short. His legacy, filled with bravery and the courage to fight for freedom, inspires Princess Mataji in her quest to bring dignity and recognition to the African diaspora.
A Global Citizen with Deep Spiritual and Artistic Roots
Raised in Paris, France, Princess Mataji had the privilege of merging her African heritage with the cosmopolitan culture of Europe. She embraced her multicultural upbringing, cultivating her talents in music and spirituality, which would later enable her to connect deeply with people across diverse backgrounds. Princess Mataji, a gifted musician, possesses a unique voice and extraordinary musical ability, playing guitar, bass, and piano and performing overtone and diphonic chanting. Her music resonates with healing, universality, and love, an art form she has perfected and shared with audiences worldwide. Her sound is described as unique and transformative, embodying the depth of her spiritual practice and her desire to uplift the soul.
She has shared stages, studios, and television screens throughout her career with an impressive array of African and international artists. These collaborations have allowed her to bring her African roots to the world stage, where her music becomes a bridge across continents and cultures. Icons such as Manu Dibango, Michael Bolton, Mylène Farmer, and Jermaine Jackson are just a few of the many with whom she has performed, each partnership reinforcing her role as an ambassador of African and universal culture.
Beyond her musical prowess, Princess Mataji is deeply committed to her spiritual path. She is a Kriya Yogini, Sun Yogini, healer, Reiki Master, and divine alchemist. She received her spiritual title from Sadguru Yogiraj Sri Sri Mangeshda, in the lineage of the great master Mahavatar Babaji. Her spiritual journey has brought her into contact with the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and HH Lahiri Mahasaya, imbuing her with a rare blend of spiritual insight and universal compassion. This spiritual journey enriches her life and guides her humanitarian efforts, allowing her to serve others with deep empathy and understanding.
Leadership in the Marine Foundation Monaco
As the President of Marine Foundation Monaco, Princess Mataji brings a wealth of cultural knowledge, spiritual insight, and a deeply rooted commitment to social upliftment. Her role in this organization aligns with her lifelong mission to support those in need and empower communities. The Marine Foundation’s emphasis on education, social development, and cultural preservation aligns seamlessly with her goals of bringing enlightenment and unity to people worldwide.
With her background, Princess Mataji envisions a Marine Foundation Monaco that bridges the legacy of African royalty and modern philanthropy, creating a space where ancient wisdom and contemporary solutions can work together for the benefit of all. Her vision includes initiatives emphasizing cultural preservation, particularly for the African diaspora, and programs offering education and vocational training, especially to women and youth. By promoting arts and culture, Princess Mataji seeks to create platforms that honor traditional values while embracing innovation.
In Monaco, where diverse cultures converge, Princess Mataji is an ambassador of multicultural harmony and a symbol of unity in diversity. Her royal background allows her to connect deeply with Monaco’s global community, bringing unique programs that foster inclusivity, celebrate heritage, and empower people from all walks of life. Through the Marine Foundation Monaco, she will introduce cultural festivals, workshops, and humanitarian projects to bridge gaps, foster empathy, and unite people for a shared purpose.
A Vision for a Harmonious Future
Princess Mataji Maa Tejomayee Devi embodies a rare combination of royal heritage, artistic talent, and spiritual wisdom. Her mission extends beyond the borders of Cameroon and Monaco, with a vision that reaches across continents, connecting individuals through compassion, music, and a shared sense of purpose. Her role as a leader within the Marine Foundation Monaco is a testament to her commitment to social transformation, as she uses her influence to amplify voices, build bridges, and inspire positive change.
Her African roots, European upbringing, and global experiences have shaped her into a powerful force for good, someone who not only remembers her ancestors’ struggles but actively honors them through her work. In everything she does, Princess Mataji preserves the values and dignity of her heritage, using her platform to uplift others and ensure that their voices are heard.
Princess Mataji leaves a legacy combining her ancestors’ nobility, an artist’s creativity, and a spiritual teacher’s wisdom as she continues her journey. She invites others to join her in a quest for unity, compassion, and a better world for all—a world that reflects her motto, “Unity in Diversity.” For Princess Mataji Maa Tejomayee Devi, this is not just a belief but a way of life, a truth as ancient as her royal lineage and boundless as her dreams for a harmonious, enlightened future.

The Marine Foundation: Capabilities
The Marine Foundation has established its 241 nations territory of development with each country’s template represented in its official presentation website. The foundation is an umbrella of over 30 agencies (franchises) of projects and programs to pursue the economic restoration of a region through education, technology, medical, tourism, and infrastructure.
The platform now initiates the “Wealth Legacy Academia Club” to host and welcome the position of at least one thousand Billionaires incited and interested in the economic growth of all developing regions of the world through infrastructural, health, and educational projects.
In addition to its signature projects for rebuilding nations, the Marine Foundation is also established as a Multi-Media Production & Entertainment structure with an International “Annual Event” platform and several online and offline mass membership structure systems. Furthermore, it wants to use the channels of educational media and cultural, social, and familial celebrations to promote peaceful relations throughout its expansion.
The institutional structure of the foundation is meticulously controlled by a “Brand” (MARINEF Brand), where the “brand legislature” protects the foundation’s organizational structure with a constitution and the supervisorial platform of an International Brand Sharing and Ownership Committee of 360 members worldwide. In addition, this conglomerate of shared brand ownership is monitored under the ruling of a “Universal Constitution,” which dictates high morals and governance standards of coherent common sense within the businesses and institutions the foundation produces with the deployment of its brand-associated agencies.
Added the grandeur of becoming a leading Public Relations platform, the Marine Foundation is essentially built to be an environment of systems and policies that stand for zero tolerance for promiscuousness or any detriment or harm to human life and the environment with the absolute protection of children and mothers. The forum welcomes the genius collective minds and hearts of every individual whose passion is for love, light, and the safety and prosperity of all our children.
The Marine Foundation is designed to be a giant interconnecting spiderweb of human managerial communications systems that copies the conception of universal rules instituted in the functioning of the created universe. It relies on establishing rigid human rules of respect for life and the environment as per the example behavior of the physical world that surrounds us and makes up the unconditional functioning mechanism of our body and mind.
Introduction to the Marine Foundation's structural concept
Education, project development, and marketing through international events make us a movement of reforms where the agenda takes economic rebirth a prerequisite duty wherever it would establish. Among other systems, our educational planning revolves around 3 reforms in content: Sea Campus Universal (15000 children per school), Global University of Technology & Development, and Ocean Universal (complete maritime education). Focusing on these sectors only would help reconstruct any region or improve already developed countries' status.
We are a "peaceful" movement. We talk of peace in the substance in the look of an "olympiad philosophical concept" or a place where there can be no conflicts. For example, in the Olympic Organization, based on the disciplines of sports rules, people worldwide gather together to dispute titles for medals. Here we see that sporting rules govern nations' relations during 2 weeks of events, every 4 years. This is indeed the example of a peaceful concept, where common sense takes over, and participation requires neutralizing religious, cultural, or political backgrounds for a while.
The Marine Foundation centers its ruling in gathering its network around the values of the birth of humanity and so the birth of life itself. The undeniable truth of the reality of the mother's womb brings out our biological commonality. For that reason, our corporate ruling proclaims and demands a standard of absolute respect for life and the environment. From that understanding, our management system and ideological backgrounds must leave common sense in perfect human relations of absolute respect. Peace has a chance to flourish in the understanding that we all come from the same birthplace. The Marine Foundation is a practitioner of the rules in the context of membership and leadership communications, enticing diversities to come and work together under the banner of education and celebration. Even when it comes to cultural traditions, religions, or political parties, the one who loves and respects the most will ultimately become the champion of attraction and popularity.
5 Main Executive Central Committees:
- The 1st executive committee is mainly internal, and consists of the Board of Brand Owners made up of 360 members representing the 360 degrees of a perfect circle. Each day of the year will represent one member making it 360 days celebration. They represent as a group the core supervisory membership through actual unique ownership of the branding of the Marine Foundation.
- The 2nd executive committee is the First Ladies Club, where the leadership would represent the voice of Mother Earth as a supervisory and voting power to our educational project Development structure. This is the keyframe by which "women" become the absolute standard about birth education and the celebration of life.
- The 3rd executive committee is the diplomatic membership of the United Five Ocean's platform (U5O). U5O represents the 5 continents united into a "Club of all Nations" where diplomats mingle, representing their cultures and come together under the vicinity of the continental regions their nation belongs to. In addition, U50, or Club of all Nations, serves to support economic growth through supporting the Public Sector with information and event gathering services.
- The 4th committee is the Executive Club Assembly, which attracts successful business leaders (men or women) to unite under the honorary naval title of "Admiral" to identify and celebrate their potential to become role models of modern societies to lead the next generation to prowess through their example and presence within the Marine Foundation's platform.
- The 5th committee is the Billionaires Legacy Academia Club, which is a council for infrastructural restoration, where extremely wealthy people have a chance to gather in the discussion of megaproject development, maritime or on land, to seek the harmony of communication of our planet through transport projects such as bridges, tunnels, and an international highway concept. Marine Foundation runs uniquely under the umbrella banner of its own branding through the organizational establishment of mass membership platforms and a large event organization system. The creation of these 2 large communications sectors gives it an unparallel control over sponsorship. It will allow it to round up the entire world under large media publications and production platforms.
2 Mass Communication Platforms:
Wikinations: An educational and commercial online portal connecting 240 nations into a giant international Chamber of Commerce online via educational web design & PR concept. To that effect, it takes after the business model of Wikipedia's example who plays more the role of an encyclopedia. In contrast, "wikinations" will become a tourism information center & regional promoter, with a corporate membership within for businesses to expose their services right within the platform. Thus, not only will it become an educational tool to institutions around the world, but it will also serve as reference governments to show off their nation under the banner of attractive beauty and production media to attract investors and developers.
Global Citizens Live Association (GCLA) is a mass membership social platform that caters to any individuals but targeting mainly the family member with a zero tolerance to promiscuity and where values of respect in human communications are taken to the maximum extent of the moral ethics. GCLA becomes an automatic educational incentive as it is connected directly to "wikinations" with exposing flags into the member's dashboard instead of faces first. By flirting the cursor upon the flag image of a new contact, the member receives the immediate option to open the flag's wikinations page for a quick overlook of that person's nation. Contacts stay hidden under the flag of provenance, and opening the contacts dashboard is optional. Meaning that the member becomes more interested in showing how many flags show up on the member's dashboard than showing off faces of people who can stay categorically hidden behind their flag of provenance. The platform will become a "must" to learn geography and culture rapidly through real-time communication between members. Reaching a full dashboard of 240 flags would mean that a person has friends all over the world while becoming familiar with the existence of 240 nations.
One Mega Event Organization Platform
The worldwide network of the Marine Foundation (MARINEF- ADN) has the unique privilege to connect to an entire event organization divided into Festivals, Symposiums, Exhibits, and Sports. The design of 50 international annual events is set to help promote quality tourism to benefit economically any region where the foundation is established. Events are also good media to promote the causes of projects and programs' involvement with information media distributed continuously and sustainably. The event opportunities will also affect supporting areas with promotional tools to attract investment and developments to places that need exposure to the world.
