"So far I am concerned, I am a humble disciple of His Divine Grace, Om Vishnupada Sri Srimad Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Maharaj, who was the original pioneer of spreading this movement in the Western world. During his lifetime, up to 1936, he started 64 main centers all over the world, including centers in Berlin, Germany, and London, England. His Divine Grace entrusted me to spread this movement in the Western countries, and since 1965, I am trying in my humble way to spread this movement in this part of the world."
(Srila Prabhupada letter, 21st February, 1968)
