Brothers Pravesh and Jayesh Magan are on a mission to bring peace of mind and emotional balance to the community through free Samarpan meditation lessons.

The duo believes that true healing begins within and that through regular practice, individuals can reconnect with themselves to find clarity, calm and purpose.

Their primary focus is helping people manage stress, depression and anxiety by guiding them inward, teaching techniques that calm the mind and create a sense of inner stillness.

“Since Covid-19, many people are still suffering because of the mental pressure. We teach them how to get out of it free of charge,” said Pravesh.

Pravesh described Samarpan meditation as a simple yet powerful way to align the body with nature.

“If you come home from work stressed and take off your shoes, you immediately feel relaxed because the earth takes out the stress. That’s why, in meditation, people sit on the ground.”

Jayesh added, “We teach you about your body, the technique and how it works, as well as how the main elements of nature work with you.

“For instance, the earth element relieves stress, while fire – lighting up a candle and looking into the flame – helps with insomnia.”

Through gentle meditation practices, participants learn to quiet their thoughts and restore emotional harmony in their daily lives.

“The main benefits include stress relief, better concentration, a positive outlook on life and an improved immune system.”

The brothers received their training from a Canadian meditation teacher in 2010, who encouraged them to share their wisdom freely.

Staying true to that calling, Pravesh and Jayesh now dedicate their time to teaching others without charge through the Africa Samarpan Foundation, with the hope of building a community rooted in mindfulness, peace and self-awareness.

“Our teacher told us that if we want this knowledge to reach the person on the street, someone without money, it should go to that person. We teach the value that whatever you give, you always receive,” said Pravesh.

They are based on 148 Howard Avenue in Western Extension and also offer mindfulness coaching to corporates and concentration classes to schools.

“We rely on donations. If anyone is willing to assist, they need to give from within themselves. Donations don’t always mean money. It can be a simple prayer. All donations must be made with an open heart,” Jayesh said.
