Reporter (1): Are your disciples supposed to chant the mantra all the time?

Prabhupada: Yes. All my disciple is chanting.

Reporter (1): Are they supposed to chant the mantra throughout the day?

Prabhupada: Oh, yes.

Reporter (1): All the time?

Prabhupada: Just like I am talking with you, and as soon as talking stops, I am… My hand is going: “Hare Krsna.” Kirtaniyah sada.

Reporter (1): Is it possible to talk and also to chant the mantra at the same time?

Prabhupada: Yes. That requires practice. That requires practice. Just like woman is cooking and [s]he is also talking. It does not mean the cooking is going bad. It is practice.
