If one regularly chants 333,333 names daily for a month (30 days) and then chants ten more names, he will thus chant ten million names. In this way a devotee worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such worship is called yajña. Yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ: ([[Vanisource:SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]]) those whose intelligence is brilliant accept this hari-nāma-yajña, the yajña of chanting the holy name of the Lord. By performing this yajña, one satisfies the Supreme Personality of Godhead and thus attains perfection in spiritual life. According to external vision, Haridāsa Ṭhākura belonged to a Muslim family. Nevertheless, because he engaged himself in performing the yajña of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, he became a regularly initiated brāhmaṇa. As stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[Vanisource:SB 3.33.6|SB 3.33.6]]):


<div class="quote_verse">
:yan-nāmadheya-śravaṇānukīrtanād
:yat-prahvaṇād yat-smaraṇād api kvacit
:śvādo ‘pi sadyaḥ savanāya kalpate
:kutaḥ punas te bhagavan nu darśanāt
</div>
Even if a devotee comes from a family of dog-eaters, if he surrenders to the Personality of Godhead he immediately becomes a qualified brāhmaṇa and is immediately fit to perform yajña, whereas a person born in a family of brāhmaṇas has to wait until completing the reformatory processes before he may be called saṁskṛta, purified. It is further said in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[Vanisource:SB 12.1.39-40|SB 12.1.40]]).
