Here are some nectar notes and verses on the Holy Name...if read...your chanting will never be the same
Here is the essence of the entire Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, devotional service to the Lord Sri Kṛṣṇa. One should chant the Holy Name, and by what ever means listen to the katha of God and the Holy Name will come into the heart.
SB12.13.23
nāma-saṅkīrtanaṁ yasya sarva-pāpa praṇāśanam
praṇāmo duḥkha-śamanas taṁ namāmi hariṁ param

Also in 12.12.46-50, especially verse 46 confirms this siddhānta;
SB12.12.46
iti coktaṁ dvija-śreṣṭhā yat pṛṣṭo ’ham ihāsmi vaḥ
līlāvatāra-karmāṇi kīrtitānīha sarvaśaḥ
Thus, O best of the brāhmaṇas, I have explained herein what you have inquired from me. This literature has glorified in full detail the activities of the Lord’s pastime incarnations.
SB 12.12.47
patitaḥ skhalitaś cārtaḥ kṣuttvā vā vivaśo gṛṇan
haraye nama ity uccair mucyate sarva-pātakāt
If when falling, slipping, feeling pain or sneezing one involuntarily cries out in a loud voice, “Obeisances to Lord Hari!” one will be automatically freed from all his sinful reactions.
SB 12.12.48
saṅkīrtyamāno bhagavān anantaḥ
śrutānubhāvo vyasanaṁ hi puṁsām
praviśya cittaṁ vidhunoty aśeṣaṁ
yathā tamo ’rko ’bhram ivāti-vātaḥ
When people properly glorify the Supreme Personality of Godhead or simply hear about His power, the Lord personally enters their hearts and cleanses away every trace of misfortune, just as the sun removes the darkness or as a powerful wind drives away the clouds.
SB 12.12.49
mṛṣā giras tā hy asatīr asat-kathā
na kathyate yad bhagavān adhokṣajaḥ
tad eva satyaṁ tad u haiva maṅgalaṁ
tad eva puṇyaṁ bhagavad-guṇodayam
Words that do not describe the transcendental Personality of Godhead but instead deal with temporary matters are simply false and useless. Only those words that manifest the transcendental qualities of the Supreme Lord are actually truthful, auspicious and pious.
SB 12.12.50
tad eva ramyaṁ ruciraṁ navaṁ navaṁ
tad eva śaśvan manaso mahotsavam
tad eva śokārṇava-śoṣaṇaṁ nṛṇāṁ
yad uttamaḥśloka-yaśo ’nugīyate
Those words describing the glories of the all-famous Personality of Godhead are attractive, relishable and ever fresh. Indeed, such words are a perpetual festival for the mind, and they dry up the ocean of misery.
In sloka 47, it shows that even one is ‘patitaḥ’, if somebody is falling down, or losing character, even if blowing their nose, if somebody is suffering, if anyone just says loudly “hari haraya namaḥ” and pays obeisances unto Lord Hari, by doing such sankirtan, God comes into the heart.
Why is sankirtan done? By chanting the holy name, we are simply inviting Kṛṣṇa into our heart.
