Bhakti yoga takes time to give moksha and those who are strong enough to endure the pain like Vyasa Maharishi, Vashista Maharishi can go for it. For those who are not that strong enough, lord has offered an easiest method called Charanaagati. Surrender in toto, and this will lead you to Moksha.
However, charanaagati does not dispense with namajapa, for namajapa is done not with aim of moksha for it is already guaranteed, it is done for bhaghavat preeti.
bhagawaaneva .... swayameva kaarithavaan depicts this very well
