Where does vocal remembrance appear in the Gītā’s practice language?

A simple beginning

The Gītā repeatedly describes glorifying, remembering and speaking of Kṛṣṇa. A Gauḍīya study can connect this with a wider theology of the holy name while clearly labelling which claims come from later or other sources.
