The conversation between Krsna and Uddhava (Eleventh Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam entitled Uddhava Samvada).
Harikatha is the food of the soul.
Everyone should give up their karma and surrender to Krsna.
Verse: na sādhayati māṁ yogo na sāṅkhyaṁ dharma uddhava… (Caitanya Caritamrta, Madhya-lila 25.137).
The different methods during other ages to reach the Lord are unfeasible in Kali-yuga, the dharma of this age is the chanting of the Holy Names.
Verse: sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja… (Bhagavad Gita 18.66).
Krsna gave the Gopala-mantra to Brahma by playing His flute, and Siva received the same from Sankarsana (Baladeva Prabhu).
Each of Sivaji’s family members has opposite carriers, but they remain in harmony because of the chanting of the Holy Names.
Lila of Mahaprabhu chanting the mahamantra in the Jharikhanda forest along with all the animals present there.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the embodiment of munificence and magnanimity.
Song: Jadi Gauranga Nahito.
⁠One thousand names of Visnu are equivalent to one name of Rama, three names of Rama are equivalent to one name of Krsna, and one hundred names of Krsna are equivalent to one name of Radha.
