We were sent 100 small books of Srila Prabhupada which written in Khmer to Gopinatha prabhu who is working in Phnom Penh, he is distributing the books while traveling to some Provinces in Cambodia. We still continue books distribution around Siem Reap, in the market, offices, villages and another places whenever there opportunity.
Kisora Krsna Das was invited by one student to attend and join to pray at the traditional function in Kampong Thom. There he have opportunity to distribute the books and explain the important of chanting the Hare Krsna Maha Mantra as universal and simple prayer for happiness in the mid of difficult situation.
He also took the opportunity to visit another student who regularly practice chanting Hare Krsna Maha Mantra as his daily morning prayers.

Now we have one Cambodian Youth who willing to practice Ashrama life.
He is working as a Security in nearby Hotel. After his duty in the Hotel he comes to stay with us, he is following Ashram rule and regulation, helping cleaning the room and watering the garden. We provide breakfast and lunch vegetarian prasadam everyday. He was a regular visitor in our Ashrama. Now he practice chanting Hare Krsna Maha Mantra everyday. He is happy to stay with us.
3 Krsnas garden
Freshly grown vegetables can be seen, we have okra in plenty and haev vegetables along with dhal.
3.1 Watering System.
The weather is very hot and dry since last month. We need to pour water two times daily to the plant in the morning and evening. We have two system of watering the plant. One is by pouring, and second is watering by irrigation system.
We make irrigation from the well by pumping the water and prepare the canal to lead the water flaw to the vegetables and crops. While taking bath also the water will flow to the plant. In this way get two benefit in one time.
3.2 Harvesting Compost
After three month of dumping many dry leaf and waste plant in one pit of 1 cubic meter in size, and pouring them with cow dung solution, now we got very good and natural compos. The color are blackish and soft, we use it for planting okra ( ladies finger ) which now growing so healthy with no attack of insect. Our green bean also growing nicely and start bear fruit.
4 Prepare Cow Medicine
We learn to prepare gaumutrasav. First boiling 1 kg of cow urine with in earthen pot until the odor of cow urine isgone. filter it and add 0,2 kg palm sugar and dissolve it. Then boil it again for some times until the color darker. Filter it again. Keep this mixture for 15 days without disturbing. Then the liquid (asava) will part cautiously from top, without shaking. 25 ml should be taken twice a day after meals.
Its very good to balance the three dosas regulation in the body ( kapha, vata and pita ) and has the ability to cure many different diseases. Except those suffering from blood sugar, diabetes etc.
