Tomb on the top of 55th Street Temple
Udyananda Dasa: In his last days, Prabhupada talked about going on parikrama around Govardhan, but he wasn't focused only on Govardhan. When news and letters arrived about the preaching and the book distribution that was going on, Prabhupada became inspired and once he said, "I should give up lying here in Vrindavan and go out and preach. You should take me to the New York temple. And if I die, put my tomb on top of the Radha-Govinda temple on 55th Street. I want to die preaching with my New York preachers." So we know how important that temple was to Prabhupada and what a catastrophe it was to have lost that temple. Prabhupada said, "Place my tomb on the top of the 55th Street temple."
