All the other impurities of the Vaisnava are considered nullified if he takes to chanting Hare Krishna mantra in earnest. So the glories of the holy name free one from all the shortcomings remaining or still present offenses are considered nullified for the person who holds them.

Bhagavad Gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad Gita.
