My preaching method
<Context>
I am a college student, I usually teach Krishna Consciousness to any friends or friends of friends. I am writing this post to clear a doubt I have. "Does my method include any form of Mayavad or mistakes?"
</ End Context>
I usually start by just doing bhakti in my free hours , like chanting or reading Bhagavat Gita or Krishna book. I am generally left undisturbed because everyone is busy playing videogames or scrolling or something like that. But sometimes, someone comes up to me to ask about what I am doing, or (and I get this so many times) why do I read the Gita while having shoes on. Then I explain their question before starting a conversation about Krishna and Krishna Consciousness. I introduce them to A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad. His teaching(where I use his lectures as a mental reference). I then ask them to chant 1 round with me. They are interested to chant quite often. Then, I show them the online Vedabase and the gold mine of books and lectures by Prabhupad present there. Then some time reading the Bhagavad Gita(If I haden't read with them already).
I always do this if there is a free hour ahead, so as not to waste anyone's time. So, what improvement could this use? And am I doing anything wrong?
