We have increased the disciplic succession from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Prabhupada did one initiation at 61 2nd Avenue, so Prabhupada was walking to his apartment. There's a still photo of Srila Prabhupada walking surrounded by devotees chanting and dancing, and they're having a really ecstatic kirtan. The fire yajna is completed, everybody's initiated, people have their names, and Prabhupada is walking back to his apartment with his usual aristocratic gait with his head slightly raised and everyone's chanting. Prabhupada didn't say anything. Then Prabhupada just said, "We have increased the disciplic succession from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu."
