Room Conversation about Marriage -- September 24, 1968, Seattle:

Madhudviṣa: Did Lord Caitanya have women . . . householders traveling with Him when He went on saṅkīrtana?

Prabhupāda: Yes. They're following. Still, saṅkīrtana, they follow. But they have got their husband. Saṅkīrtana, everyone can.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Children, too.

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Everyone. Saṅkīrtana means assembly. Bahubhir militva kirtayatiti saṅkīrtanaḥ. That is the derivation. When many people assemble together and chant, that is called saṅkīrtana. If you alone chant, that is called kīrtana. And when you chant in assembly, that is called saṅkīrtana.
