from Granta-raja Srimad Bhagavata Purana: Prahlada Maharaja said:

  One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of body from the very beginning of life—in other words, from the tender age of childhood—to practice the activities of devotional service, giving up all other engagements.
  The human body is most rarely achieved, and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection. (S.B. 7.6.1)
  Devotional service, beginning with the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, is the ultimate religious principle for the living entity in human society. (S.B. 6.3.22)
 
Sukadeva Gosvami continued:

  My dear King, the chanting of the holy name of
the Lord is able to uproot even the reactions of the greatest sins. Therefore the chanting of the sankirtana movement is the most auspicious activity in the entire universe. Please try to understand this so that others will take it seriously. (S.B. 6.3.31)
