Why International Institute
for Applied Spiritual Technology?
In this world there are many universities and institutes that offer professional degrees for a wide variety of professionals. However, only InterIFAST offers a degree in Humanity. During the course of study, such subjects as gratitude, generosity, enthusiasm, patience, unselfishness, and humility are taught. Our graduates leave our school better people- better equipped not only for their life’s journey but also able to help transform the world for the better. “From information to transformation” is the motto of our Institute. Self-knowledge, Yoga, Ayurveda, Meditation, Astrology, etc. are now becoming popular among thousands of people. But, unfortunately, the forms and methods of instruction through which Vedic knowledge is now spread (lectures, seminars) are not always effective. Information does not become knowledge, theory does not become practice. And knowledge is the energy that bring about change. Therefore, understanding the innermost Vedic knowledge and simultaneously applying it in one’s own life can lead to the harmonization of literally all areas of one’s life: from health, family relations, upbringing of children, to comprehension of the profound philosophy of life, yoga practice and meditation.
Happiness is in service! Instead of the usual grades, passing scores and examinations, the main criterion of achievement at InterIFAST is inner happiness and a sense of deep satisfaction. If the soul is happy, then the lesson is fully learned. If our relationships flourish and we have a strong sense of achievement, then we have passed our life’s lessons.
Learning Experience
Online Instructor-Led Group Education
Online instructor-led group education is a unique opportunity for you to receive online self-paced education and also online interactions with like-minded people and instructors.
Online group education provides an educational program for you to follow and offers a group messaging platform for you to interact with other people following the same program.
How it works:
Every day you get:
– online short lessons to review (read an article or watch a short video)
– practical assignment to complete
– important topics to discuss on messaging platform with instructors and other classmates
Why do we think it works?
One of the results of scientific progress is the mass utilization of digital technology. Nowadays there are many articles talking about how bad the social media is and how negatively it influences the younger generation. People say that digital technology has made people detached from traditional forms of communication. However, in the International Institute for Applied Spiritual Technology, we have thought of a way to transform this trend and make digital technology our best friend for personal development and building relationships with other people.
Why do we utilize digital chats as a form of communication?
We use several popular chat services such as WhatsApp, Skype, and Telegram. Every day students exchange messages with each other via the chat, where the environment is very warm and welcoming so that students feel safe and happy to share their feelings, realizations, and concerns. Instructors help facilitate the conversations and share inspirational materials daily for mutual discussion. Occasionally, there are group calls via Skype, where students discuss important topics.
This process of digital communication and learning may seem intimidating at first, but after short time, students feel inspired, happy, satisfying, and willing to open their hearts more and more. Typing a message to other students, choosing right words, investing our feelings in each word makes this process very rewarding and helps us grow. After some time, students become very close to each other and value their friendship. It is life, and so some students may find themselves in conflict with another student. The institute provides lectures and needed tools to overcome those challenges and not only mitigate the conflict, but also learn from it and grow personally. Our students learn fast how to balance work and family with the daily chat communication. Instead of distraction, this becomes one of the best tools for self-development.
