Yes.
Room Conversation -- December 27, 1976, Bombay:

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: So if we want to have three hours total. Even in the class...

Prabhupāda: Two hours.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: ...they should be sitting like this, isn't it?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: So, in other words, the total three hours that they have to be like this...

Prabhupāda: Not total three hours.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Then what will they do in the third hour?

Hari-śauri: Well, I was thinking that...

Prabhupāda: There is no "I was thinking." This is nonsense. We must do according to the...

Hari-śauri: But can't we bring chanting of japa into it?

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Mantra-yoga.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Hari-śauri: Then, after that, some kīrtana.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Hari-śauri: Japa first, then class and then kīrtana.

Prabhupāda: At last kīrtana.

Hari-śauri: That would be like half an hour, an hour.
