<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Adi 3.40|CC Adi 3.40, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">In this Age of Kali the practical system of religion for everyone is the chanting of the name of Godhead. This was introduced in this age by Lord Caitanya. Bhakti-yoga actually begins with the chanting of the holy name, as confirmed by Madhvācārya in his commentary on the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad. He quotes this verse from the Nārāyaṇa-saṁhitā:</p>
:dvāparīyair janair viṣṇuḥ
:pañcarātrais tu kevalaiḥ
:kalau tu nāma-mātreṇa
:pūjyate bhagavān hariḥ
<p>"In the Dvāpara-yuga people should worship Lord Viṣṇu only by the regulative principles of the Nārada-pañcarātra and other such authorized books. In the Age of Kali, however, people should simply chant the holy names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead." The Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra is specifically mentioned in many Upaniṣads, such as the Kali-santaraṇa Upaniṣad, where it is said:</p>
:hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa
:kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare
:hare rāma hare rāma
:rāma rāma hare hare
:iti ṣoḍaśakaṁ nāmnāṁ
:kali-kalmaṣa-nāśanaṁ
:nātaḥ parataropāyaḥ
:sarva-vedeṣu dṛśyate
<p>"After searching through all the Vedic literature, one cannot find a method of religion more sublime for this age than the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa."</p>

<div id="CCAdi776_1" class="quote" parent="CC_Adi-lila" book="CC" index="1022" link="CC Adi 7.76" link_text="CC Adi 7.76">
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Adi 7.76|CC Adi 7.76, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">The Nārada-pañcarātra also praises the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra as follows:</p>
:trayo vedāḥ ṣaḍ-aṅgāni chandāṁsi vividhāḥ surāḥ
:sarvam aṣṭākṣarāntaḥ-sthaṁ yac cānyad api vāṅ-mayam
:sarva-vedānta-sārārthaḥ saṁsārārṇava-tāraṇaḥ
<p>"The essence of all Vedic knowledge—comprehending the three kinds of Vedic activity (karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa and upāsanā-kāṇḍa), the chandas, or Vedic hymns, and the processes for satisfying the demigods—is included in the eight syllables Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa. This is the reality of all Vedānta. The chanting of the holy name is the only means to cross the ocean of nescience." Similarly, the Kali-santaraṇa Upaniṣad states, "Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare—these sixteen names composed of thirty-two syllables are the only means to counteract the evil effects of Kali-yuga. In all the Vedas it is seen that to cross the ocean of nescience there is no alternative to the chanting of the holy name." Similarly, Śrī Madhvācārya, while commenting upon the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad, has quoted the following verse from the Nārāyaṇa-saṁhitā:</p>
:dvāparīyair janair viṣṇuḥ pañcarātrais tu kevalaiḥ
:kalau tu nāma-mātreṇa pūjyate bhagavān hariḥ
<p>"In Dvāpara-yuga one could satisfy Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu only by worshiping Him gorgeously according to the pāñcarātrikī system, but in the Age of Kali one can satisfy and worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead Hari simply by chanting the holy name."</p>

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 25.9|CC Madhya 25.9, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura comments in this regard in his Anubhāṣya, wherein he quotes a verse from the Nārāyaṇa-saṁhitā:</p>
:dvāparīyair janair viṣṇuḥ pañcarātrais tu kevalaiḥ
:kalau tu nāma-mātreṇa pūjyate bhagavān hariḥ
<p>"In Dvāpara-yuga, devotees of Lord Viṣṇu and Kṛṣṇa rendered devotional service according to the principles of Pāñcarātra. In this Age of Kali, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is worshiped simply by the chanting of His holy names." Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura then comments, “Without being empowered by the direct potency of Lord Kṛṣṇa to fulfill His desire and without being specifically favored by the Lord, no human being can become the spiritual master of the whole world. He certainly cannot succeed by mental concoction, which is not meant for devotees or religious people. Only an empowered personality can distribute the holy name of the Lord and enjoin all fallen souls to worship Kṛṣṇa.</p>

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Antya 7.12|CC Antya 7.12, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">“You have spread the saṅkīrtana movement of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore it is evident that You have been empowered by Lord Kṛṣṇa. There is no question about it.</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>Śrī Madhvācārya has brought our attention to this quotation from the Nārāyaṇa-saṁhitā:</p>
:dvāparīyair janair viṣṇuḥ pañcarātrais tu kevalaiḥ
:kalau tu nāma-mātreṇa pūjyate bhagavān hariḥ
<p>"In the Dvāpara-yuga one could satisfy Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu only by worshiping opulently according to the pāñcarātrikī system, but in the Age of Kali one can satisfy and worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead Hari simply by chanting His holy name." Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura explains that unless one is directly empowered by the causeless mercy of Kṛṣṇa, one cannot become the spiritual master of the entire world (jagad-guru). One cannot become an ācārya simply by mental speculation. The true ācārya presents Kṛṣṇa to everyone by preaching the holy name of the Lord throughout the world.</p>
