Prabhupada Started in New York

Udayananda Dasa: My God-brother Praghosa Prabhu went to Washington, D.C. to distribute books at the airport and when he came back from sankirtan one day, Srila Prabhupada saw him and said, "Where have you been?" Praghosa offered his obeisances and said, "I've been distributing books, Srila Prabhupada." Prabhupada said, "Come with me" and together they went into Prabhupada's room. Prabhupada said, "Where are you doing your service these days?" Praghosa said, "I'm in New York, Prabhupada, in the 55th Street temple." Prabhupada said, "Oh, you're in New York? I also started in New York" as if every single devotee in the movement did not know everything about Prabhupada, especially where he started.
