Our first starting point was New York.

Letter to Brahmananda -- Los Angeles 24 July, 1969:

New York is the biggest city in the world, and therefore the standard of New York should be maintained in consuming BTG and giving us contributions. Our first starting point was New York. Please convey my blessings to the others. I hope this will meet you all in good health.
