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:
#dl##dd#dvāparīyair janair viṣṇuḥ#/dd#
#dd#pañcarātrais tu kevalaiḥ#/dd#
#dd#kalau tu nāma-mātreṇa#/dd#
#dd#pūjyate bhagavān hariḥ#/dd##/dl#
"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:
#dl##dd#hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa#/dd#
#dd#kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare#/dd#
#dd#hare rāma hare rāma#/dd#
#dd#rāma rāma hare hare#/dd#

kali-kalmaṣa-nāśanam
#dl##dd#nātaḥ parataropāyaḥ#/dd#
#dd#sarva-vedeṣu dṛśyate#/dd##/dl#
"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."
