Parents
The psychic’s father, academician of biochemistry Vladimir Smirnov, does not share his son’s hobbies; according to Dasha himself, they have not communicated on this basis for more than twenty years. His mother committed suicide when Peter was twenty years old.
In his youth, his parents forced the future yogi and master of oriental techniques to enter the pediatric institute. According to Pyotr Smirnov himself, the decision to leave training was one of the most important in his life. At that moment, he felt independent, but, unfortunately, he finally lost contact with his parents, who actually abandoned their son.

Do you believe in the existence of extrasensory perception?
Psychic Swami Dashi is a participant in the Battle of Psychics season 17 and the host of the School of Psychics on the TNT channel. A mysterious mystic who lived in India for 20 years. He prefers not to talk about the spiritual experience he had there, but he is sure that now his possibilities are limitless. He does not advertise his age, but it is known that his wife is much younger than him, and he has 4 children. Dashi has long been known as a master of bodily practices; he calls his project “spirit-soul-body” and his method “Spiritless Spirituality”. Born in Leningrad, lives in St. Petersburg. Swami Dashi has opened several Meditation Centers named after himself and regularly conducts his traveling seminars.
A psychic who shocked before even appearing on the test. Swami Dashi does not know what a psychic is. He is sure that this is a real gift, which he is not going to talk about. Dashi proceeds to the test in an unusual way, which surprises the observers. In the first episode of the 17th season of “Battle,” I gave a massage to the winner of the ninth season of the mystical project, Natalya Banteeva. Almost immediately he determined which person was in the trunk of which car. But he infuriated the actress Samburskaya, who performed in the role of Miss X, because he spoke about her internal connection with her father (Nastasya did not want to hear about it - her father was imprisoned when she was only five years old) and that she The souls of children are lined up in heaven, and she must fulfill her main destiny - to become a mother. The actress strongly disagreed with this.
For more than 20 years, Swami Dashi has been connecting Western and Eastern approaches to changing consciousness through meditation and body-oriented practices, helping people find the strength and courage to see themselves as real, transform and change their lives for the better.
A long journey of studying himself and other people through the prism of several faiths and movements, rich life experience and 20 years of practice working with the body, as well as constant meditation make him a truly unique person and a master in working with people.
Swami Dashi always emphasizes that he is not a Master Mentor or Enlightened One. He perfectly “reads” people, their bodies, he knows well what methods can be used to transform this or that person.
Swami Dashi uses his gift only for diagnostics, to help a person restore his body and energy system, take the path of self-healing and give him correct practice, the desired vector for transformation. All other manipulations with the gift do not benefit either people or himself.
Swami Dasha's whole life is permeated with unique meetings with Masters. His first meeting with a clairvoyant, who showed that hands can be used to heal, opened the way to the spiritual world, completely changed his life and set the direction of his transformation.
Years of independent practice led him to meet the Master Mentor Kalmahan. Many years ago, traveling with him through Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Swami Dashi comprehended Sufism from the original source, and was initiated into the Naqshbandi Order (an order of the Suffi brotherhood - Mohammedan dervishes in India, founded at the end of the 14th century by Sheikh Bahauddin Nashqband).
A meeting with Zahira (an outstanding Sufi woman) discovered neo-Suffism for Swami Dasha and brought him to the ashram of Osho, the Indian spiritual leader and mystic, teacher of neo-Hinduism, inspirer of the neo-Orientalist movement of Rajneesh, leading to total liberation and enlightenment.
Having received the Spiritual name Swami Bodhi Darshi, he connected his path with the teachings of Osho and was filled with gratitude to the Master. Gradually, the name Dashi (Darshi) became the only direction of his life's path.
Swami Dashi spent many years in the ashram, meditating and undergoing training. A meeting there with Amio Devienne, Master of Sacred Movements of G. Gurdjieff and a specialist in dance therapy, brought a lot to his life. After long training, Dashi led groups and trainings in Europe together with Amio Devienne, and also brought the Sacred Movements of G. Gurdjieff to Russia, introducing people for the first time to these practices of awareness, centering and immersion within oneself. A huge part of his life was embodied in the seminar “Sufi-Gurdjieff-Zen. Through the heart to awareness."
A full six-month course of Tibetan pulsations yoga and subsequent intensives taught him to work with universal energy and human bioenergy. And now Dashi conducts seminars on this system, using these techniques in individual work.
Periodically coming to Russia and traveling to places of power, Swami Dashi met the Black shaman Handa Tsyren Abre, who initiated him into working with spirits.
In Pune (India), Swami Dashi studied the art of Ayurvedic massage (Yoga stretch) from Ma Kusum Modak, a student of B.K.S Iyengar, who enriched his system of working with the body. Then, Dashi improved and supplemented his technique with the study of Thai massage, as well as one of the many techniques of Wilhelm Reich, aimed at “removing the muscular shell” through emotional and physical relaxation of all segments of the body.
At the ashram, Swami Dashi completed the full course ODHA (OSHO Art of Divine Healing), which became the foundation for studying Chinese medicine and shiatsu.
Master of Tantra Ma Krishna Rada initiated Swami Dashi into the art of Tantra. He also learned a lot from Andrei Lapin and still uses his techniques.
His disappointment in modern medicine in those years when he studied at the Leningrad Medical Pediatric Institute was transformed into the confidence that people can only be helped through a holistic approach to a person in the “Spirit-Soul-Body” system, and the fundamental knowledge he gained in medical school, became the basis of his work with people.
So, for many years collecting all the best that life gives him, studying himself and teaching people various techniques, Dashi created his own system of human transformation. Working in the “Spirit-Soul-Body” system, Swami Dashi always emphasizes the importance of balance between physical, mental and spiritual activities that complement each other.
Conducting meditations, lectures, master classes, trainings and seminars in different cities and countries of the world, Swami Dashi meets interesting people and finds new techniques and methods of working on himself. Passing them through himself, he brings this experience to group classes and individual sessions for Seekers.
Swami Dashi has not used his real name and date of birth for a long time, since by accepting sannyas, a person discards his old name and dies to his past. Moreover, for obvious reasons, Swami Dashi hides this information, because he wants to protect himself and his family from idle curiosity and intrusive attention, maintain distance, and leave a certain island of privacy for himself and his family. He is not inclined to share details of his private life and completely retell his biography. Let’s reserve this right for him and treat his wishes with respect, because he devotes most of his life, his time, his energy to people, directing our bodies and souls to transformation.
Swami Dashi always invites you to a total and uncompromising movement inward, to search for your real resources. He focuses on the fact that each person is responsible for his own life and should not shift responsibility for it to other people.

The only thing that Dashi did not hide was his birthday - August 22.
Peter was born into the family of the famous Soviet athlete Claudia Smirnova. His grandmother was a European and USSR champion in clay pigeon shooting.

Dasha has many large tattoos on her chest and arms. Among them are images of animals, wings, the face of a woman and an old man. Each drawing carries a special mystical meaning. For a mystic, the wolf is a totem animal; it is a guide to another world and a protector from evil spirits. The next tattoo was a wolf paw. This image was made on Dashi’s neck in one of the tattoo parlors in Almaty. The face of the old man, stuffed next to the animal, represents the wisdom and help of the ancestors.

Many call him a yogi, and partly this is true - accumulated Indian yogis knowledge is indeed included in the mix of teachings and spiritual practices that are preferred psychic Swami Dashi.
