A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Picture Quotes
The Camel is a kind of animal that takes pleasure in eating thorns. The thorns, mixed with fresh blood, create a taste for the foolish camel and so he enjoys the thorn-eating business with false pleasure. A person who wants to enjoy family life or the worldly life of so-called enjoyment is compared to the camel.

BOOKS ARE THE BASIS
“There is no literature throughout the universe like Srimad Bhagavatam. There is no comparison. There is no Competition. Every word is for the good of human society. Somehow or other, if a book goes in someone’s hand, he will be benefited… Therefore we are stressing so much, ‘Please distribute books, distribute books, distribute books'” – Srila Prabhupada.
