is mentioned in  Bhagavad-gītā .  Yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām : those who engage in the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead return home, back to Godhead. Human life is very valuable, and one should not waste it in vain exploration of other planets. One should be intelligent enough to return to Godhead. One should be interested in information about the spiritual Vaikuṇṭha planets, and in particular the planet known as Goloka Vṛndāvana, and should learn the art of going there by the simple method of devotional service, beginning with hearing ( śravaṇam kīrtanam viṣṇoḥ ). This is also confirmed in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam :
kaler doṣa-nidhe rājann asti hy eko mahān guṇaḥ kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ param vrajet (Bhāg. 12.3.51)
One can go to the supreme planet ( param vrajet ) simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra . This is especially meant for the people of this age ( kaler doṣa-nidhe ). It is the special advantage of this age that simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra  one can become purified of all material contamination and return home, back to Godhead. There is no doubt about this.
