Prabhupada used to say:
Chant Hare Krsna and you will attain everything, go back to Godhead

CC Antya 4.71
niraparādhe nāma laile pāya prema-dhana
tāra madhye—of the nine different types of devotional service; sarva-śreṣṭha—the most important of all; nāma-saṅkīrtana—chanting of the holy name of the Lord; niraparādhe—without offenses; nāma laile—if one chants the holy name; pāya—he gets; prema-dhana—the most valuable ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa.
”Of the nine processes of devotional service, the most important is to always chant the holy name of the Lord. If one does so, avoiding the ten kinds of offenses, one very easily obtains the most valuable love of Godhead.”

Jiva Goswami, Bhakti sandarbha 270
iyaṁ ca kīrtanākhyā bhaktir bhagavato dravya-jāti-guṇa-kriyābhir dīna-janaika-viṣayāpāra-karuṇā-mayīti śruti-purāṇādi-viśrutiḥ. ata eva kalau svabhāvata evāti-dīneṣu lokeṣu āvirbhūya tān anāyāsenaiva tat-tad-yuga-gata-mahā-sādhanānāṁ sarvam eva phalaṁ dadānā sā kṛtārthayati. yata eva tayaiva kalau bhagavato viśeṣataś ca santoṣo bhavati.
”Chanting the holy name is the chief means of attaining love of Godhead. This chanting, or devotional service, does not depend on any paraphernalia, nor on one’s having taken birth in a good family. By humility and meekness one attracts the attention of Kṛṣṇa. That is the verdict of all the Vedas. Therefore if one becomes very humble and meek, he can easily attain the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa in this Age of Kali. That is the fulfillment of all great sacrifices, penances and austerities because when one achieves ecstatic love of Godhead he attains the complete perfection of life. Therefore whatever one does in executing devotional service must be accompanied by the chanting of the holy name of the Lord.”

Bhaktivinoda Thākura, Śrī Nāma-Māhātmya, 8
(1)
viṣaya-vāsanānale, mora citta sadā jwale,
ravi-tapta maru-bhūmi-sam
karna-randhra-patha diyā, hṛdi mājhe praveśiyā,
variṣoya sudhā anupam
What power does the name of Kṛṣṇa possess? My heart constantly burns in the fire of worldly desires, just like a desert scorched by the rays of the sun. The holy name, entering the core of my heart through the holes of my ears, showers unparalleled nectar upon my soul.
(2)
śabda-rūpe nāce anukṣan
kanṭhe mora bhaṅge swara, aṅga kāṅpe thara thara,
sthira hoite nā pāre caraṇ
The holy name speaks from within my heart, moves onto the tip of my tongue, and constantly dances on it in the form of transcendental sound. My throat becomes choked up, my body shivers again and again, and my feet cannot remain still.
(3)
vivarna hoilo kalevara
mūrchita hoilo man, pralayera āgaman,
bhāve sarva-deha jara jara
Rivers of tears flow from my eyes, perspiration completely soaks my body, all my skin thrills with rapture, my hairs stand on end, and my complexion turns pale and discolored. My mind grows faint, I begin to experience devastation, and my entire body is shattered in a flood of ecstatic emotions.
(4)
more ḍāre premera sāgare
kichu nā bujhite dilo, more to’ bātula koilo,
mora citta-vitta saba hare
While causing such an ecstatic disturbance, the holy name showers liquid nectar on my heart and drowns me in the ocean of divine love of Godhead. He does not allow me to understand anything, for He has made me truly mad by having stolen away my mind and all my resources.
(5)
varnite nā pāri e sakal
kṛṣṇa-nāma icchā-moy, jāhe jāhe sukhī hoy,
sei mora sukhera sambal
Such is the behavior of Him in whom I have taken shelter. I am not capable of describing all this. The holy name of Kṛṣṇa is independent and thus acts on His own sweet will. In whatever way He becomes happy, that is also my way of happiness.
(6)
heno bala karaye prakāś
īṣat vikaśi’ punaḥ, dekhāy nija-rūpa-guna,
citta hari’ loya kṛṣṇa-pāś
The holy name is the bud of the flower of divine love, and is the very abode of astonishing mellows. Such is the power He manifests that when His holy name starts to blossom a little further, it then reveals His own divine form and qualities. Thus my heart is abducted and taken directly to Kṛṣṇa.
(7)
dekhāy more swarūpa-vilās
more siddha-deha diyā, kṛṣṇa-pāśe rākhe giyā,
e dehera kore sarva-nāś
Blossoming fully, the flower of the holy name takes me to Vraja and reveals to me His own love-dalliance. This name gives to me my own eternal spiritual body, keeps me right by Kṛṣṇa’s side, and completely destroys everything related to this mortal frame of mine.
(8)
nitya-mukta śuddha-rasa-moy
nāmera bālāi jata, saba lo’ye hoi hata,
tabe mora sukhera udoy
The name of Kṛṣṇa is a transcendental touchstone, a mine of all devotional mellows. It is eternally liberated, and the embodiment of pure rasa. When all impediments to the pure chanting of the holy name are taken away and destroyed, then my happiness will know its true awakening.
-------------
CC Madhya 17.133
caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ
pūrṇaḥ śuddho nitya-mukto
’bhinnatvān nāma-nāminoḥ
nāma—the holy name; cintāmaṇiḥ—transcendentally blissful giver of all spiritual benedictions; kṛṣṇaḥ—not different from Kṛṣṇa; caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ—the form of all transcendental mellows; pūrṇaḥ—complete; śuddhaḥ—pure, without material contamination; nitya—eternal; muktaḥ—liberated; abhinnatvāt—due to not being different; nāma—of the holy name; nāminoḥ—and of the person who has the name.
''The holy name of Kṛṣṇa is transcendentally blissful. It bestows all spiritual benedictions, for it is Kṛṣṇa Himself, the reservoir of all pleasure. Kṛṣṇa’s name is complete, and it is the form of all transcendental mellows. It is not a material name under any condition, and it is no less powerful than Kṛṣṇa Himself. Since Kṛṣṇa’s name is not contaminated by the material qualities, there is no question of its being involved with māyā. Kṛṣṇa’s name is always liberated and spiritual; it is never conditioned by the laws of material nature. This is because the name of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa Himself are identical.''
