Morning Discussion about Kumbhamela -- January 8, 1977, Bombay:

Prabhupāda: When there was no car, elephant had some importance. And now they have got so many cars. (break)

Dr. Patel: Camels were used as they are now, for ... Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Gurudāsa: They still do. Dr. Patel: They're better than the horses, don't get tired earlier. From Vṛndāvana to Delhi the camels were running. They used (Hindi). I don't know what they call it in Bengali. Prabhupāda: My Guru Mahārāja purchased two camels. I did not... I do not know what happened, but he purchased. Gurudāsa: I think Tīrtha Mahārāja was fighting with someone else over them. Prabhupāda: No, it is long ago. Dr. Patel: We have a story in Mahābhārata that all Ataravart, he can do. The Hastināpura in just when Abhimanyu was going for fight. In those days they were using camels. Gurudāsa: In Rajastan they use widely. Dr. Patel: Rajastan is a desert. Prabhupāda: No, Vṛndāvana quarter there are many camels. Dr. Patel: Everywhere there is camel. Gurudāsa: They're using camels at the Mela. For carrying things they're using camels now. Prabhupāda: Yes. Dr. Patel: Camels have long legs, you know. They go faster than... Don't get tired as the horses do. Gurudāsa: In the West they are called "ships of the desert." Hari-śauri: They have wild camels in Australia even. They used to use them in the desert. Prabhupāda: Wherever there is desert, there is thorn twig and camels. Dr. Patel: Both. I think Australian desert is bigger than Indian desert, much bigger, as big as Sahara perhaps. Gurudāsa: Desert means deserted. Devotee (1): I went to Makrana, Śrīla Prabhupāda, and I saw they had them hitched for plowing. Prabhupāda: Oh. Dr. Patel: Camels are used for plowing even in Gujarat. Trivikrama: And they eat the thorny twigs. Prabhupāda: Yes. That is their food. Karmis, they are compared with the camels. Śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ samstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ (SB 2.3.19). Dr. Patel: I don't think, sir, there will be camels in Bengal because in Bengal is so many rivers. Prabhupāda: No. No, there is no camel. And unless there is that thorny twig, they cannot live. That is their food. Dr. Patel: In Gujarat you find these camels right at the Surat, south of the Gujarat. In north Gujarat they are very common. On the desert. (break)
