THE GLORIES OF CHANTING THE HOLY NAME FROM SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM
Quotes from Srimad Bhagavatam:
äpannaù saàsåtià ghoräàyan-näma vivaço gåëantataù sadyo vimucyetayad bibheti svayaà bhayam
Living beings who are entangled in the complicated meshes of birth and death can be freed immediately by even unconsciously chanting the holy name of Kåñëa, which is feared by fear personified. SB 1.1.14
säìketyaà pärihäsyaà västobhaà helanam eva vävaikuëöha-näma-grahaëamaçeñägha-haraà viduù
One who chants the holy name of the Lord is immediately freed from the reactions of unlimited sins, even if he chants indirectly to indicate something else (sanketya), jokingly (parihasya), for musical entertainment (stobha), or even neglectfully (helana). This is accepted by all the learned scholars of the scriptures. SB 6.2.14

THE GLORIES OF UTTHANA EKADASI
Lord Brahma said to Narada Muni, "Dear son, O best of the sages, I shall narrate to you the glories of Haribodhini Ekadashi, which eradicates all kinds of sins and bestows great merit, and ultimately liberation, upon the wise persons who surrender unto the Supreme Lord.
"O best of the brahmanas, the merits acquired by bathing in the Ganges remain significant only as long as Haribodhini Ekadashi does not come. This Ekadashi, which occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Kartika, is much more purifying than a bath in the ocean, at a place of pilgrimage, or in a lake. This sacred Ekadashi is more powerful in nullifying sin than one thousand Asvamedha sacrifices and one hundred Rajasuya sacrifices."
