10 Most Powerful Lal Kitab Remedies for Money and Success
In every Indian home, you'll find people whispering about 'totkas' or simple rituals to change one's luck. Among all the astrology books and traditions in India, Lal Kitab stands apart as a unique guide known for its easy, direct, and result-oriented remedies. Originally written in Urdu, the Lal Kitab is called the 'Red Book' of astrology, and its solutions are as famous as its secrets. But what makes Lal Kitab remedies so popular for money, wealth, and success? The answer is simple: these remedies are practical, often inexpensive, and designed to harmonise the planets without complex pujas or costly rituals. Many believe that when nothing else works, Lal Kitab does. If you are struggling with loans, stagnant income, bad luck in business, or want to bring prosperity into your life, here are the 10 most powerful Lal Kitab remedies for money and success. Try them with faith and regularity, and remember, these remedies work best when combined with honest effort and positive thinking. 1. Feed Jaggery and Wheat to Cows on Sundays Why it works: In Lal Kitab, the Sun is connected with one's reputation, fortune, and authority. When the Sun is weak or afflicted, money problems and stagnation follow. Feeding cows with a mix of jaggery (gur) and wheat on Sundays balances Surya's energy, increases fame, and opens doors to opportunities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Happens When You Massage Baking Soda Into Your Scalp Read More Undo How to do it: Every Sunday morning, mix a handful of wheat and a little jaggery, and offer it to a cow. Do this for at least 11 consecutive Sundays. Result: Improves luck, brings new income sources, and helps in getting government jobs or promotions. 2. Donate Green Moong on Wednesdays Why it works: Mercury (Budh) governs business, communication, intelligence, and cash flow. If Mercury is weak, you may see frequent losses, misunderstandings, or slow growth. Donating green moong dal on Wednesdays strengthens Mercury and unblocks your money flow. How to do it: On any Wednesday, donate 250 grams (one-quarter kilo) of green moong dal to a temple, a poor person, or a cow. You can also donate green clothes or bangles to young girls. Result: Sharpens your mind, brings better business deals, and helps in clearing debts. 3. Float Coconut in Flowing Water for Loans Why it works: Financial stuckness and loan burdens often point to negative Moon or Saturn effects. Lal Kitab suggests offering a coconut to flowing water (river, canal) as a powerful remedy to release negative karma and stuck energy. How to do it: On a Monday, take a fresh coconut and, after praying for relief, float it in a clean river or flowing canal. Repeat for 11 Mondays if debts are heavy. Result: Removes hurdles in loan repayment, brings unexpected money, and gives mental relief. 4. Place a Silver Coin in Your Purse or Locker Why it works: Silver represents Moon and Venus—planets of wealth, comfort, and stability. Keeping silver in your locker, cash box, or purse strengthens financial security and protects wealth from sudden loss. How to do it: Take a pure silver coin (no religious symbols required) and keep it where you store money. Recharge it by washing with raw milk every full moon. Result: Enhances money inflow and ensures savings are protected from unnecessary expenses. 5. Offer Water to the Peepal Tree on Saturdays Why it works: Shani (Saturn) is the judge of karma and the main planet causing money blocks when unhappy. The peepal tree is Saturn's symbol in Lal Kitab. Offering water and lighting a diya under the tree brings Shani's blessings, removes delays, and unlocks success. How to do it: On every Saturday at sunrise, pour water at the roots of a Peepal tree and light a mustard oil diya (lamp). Walk around the tree seven times, praying for financial stability. Result: Clears obstacles in career, improves job stability, and attracts slow but steady wealth. 6. Feed Crows with Rotis or Sweet Rice Why it works: Crows are linked to ancestors and Saturn. Feeding them is a simple yet effective remedy to remove ancestral debts (pitra dosh) and attract money luck. How to do it: Prepare a few plain rotis (without salt) or some sweet rice, and feed them to crows any day, especially on Saturdays or during Pitru Paksha. Result: Removes unseen obstacles, brings peace at home, and paves the way for new financial opportunities. 7. Keep a Green Plant or Tulsi at Home Why it works: According to Lal Kitab, a healthy green plant at the entrance or balcony increases prosperity and shields against negative energy. Tulsi (holy basil) is considered especially auspicious for money and health. How to do it: Plant a Tulsi in a clean pot, water it daily (except Sundays), and avoid keeping it dry or neglected. If Tulsi is not possible, any green, thriving plant works. Result: Brings steady growth in wealth, reduces stress, and promotes harmony at home. 8. Offer Milk to Shivling on Mondays Why it works: Lord Shiva is linked to the Moon, and Monday is his day. Offering raw milk to Shivling on Mondays balances the Moon's energy, calms the mind, and removes financial instability. How to do it: Every Monday morning, go to a Shiva temple and pour a little raw milk on the Shivling. Chant 'Om Namah Shivaya' as you pray for wealth and peace. Result: Removes sudden losses, brings new job offers, and heals emotional blocks related to money. 9. Give Away Old or Unused Shoes to the Needy Why it works: Old shoes, slippers, or chappals represent Shani's energy and life's 'burdens.' Donating them removes karmic debts and eases Saturn's harsh effects on your finances. How to do it: Collect your old, wearable shoes (not broken), clean them, and give them to a poor person on a Saturday. Do not bring them back home. Result: Opens new income streams, helps in career changes, and removes delays in business deals. 10. Feed Flour Balls to Fish in a Pond Why it works: In Lal Kitab, fish symbolise prosperity and smooth cash flow. Feeding them is a remedy for increasing income and removing blockages in business. How to do it: Mix wheat flour with a little sugar, make small balls, and feed them to fish in a clean pond or river, preferably on Wednesdays or Fridays. Result: Improves financial luck, clears business losses, and attracts new customers or clients.

Gold Demand Rises As Yellow Metal's Rates Hit 1-Month Low: Check Price In Your City On August 2
Last Updated: In the international market, spot gold hit its one-month low level this week and saw a third consecutive weekly loss. Gold Prices In India Today, August 2: Physical gold demand in India, along with other key Asian markets, has improved this week as a pullback in prices led to buying interest, according to a Reuters report. In the international market, spot gold hit its one-month low level this week and saw a third consecutive weekly loss. In India, 24-karat gold prices were trading at around Rs 97,700 per 10 grams on Friday, after rising to Rs 1,00,555 last week. However, the gold prices on Saturday jumped after weak jobs data in the US. 'This week, footfall was better than last week. Buyers were inquiring about price trends and making small purchases," Reuters has cited a Pune-based jeweller as saying. Discounts offered by Indian dealers narrowed to as much as $7 an ounce over official domestic prices, inclusive of 6% import and 3% sales levies, compared to up to $15 last week. Jewellers were keen to make purchases to replenish inventory after a correction in overseas prices, but a significant drop in the rupee offset the impact of the price fall to an extent, said a Mumbai-based bullion dealer with a private bank. India's gold consumption in 2025 is set to fall to a five-year low, as record-high prices are denting jewellery purchases, the World Gold Council said on Thursday. 'China appears to slightly buy the dip in gold… trading volume for the physical proxy contract AU9999 on the Shanghai Gold Exchange has been on the rise (11 tons traded yesterday), reflecting a renewed interest in the metal," said Hugo Pascal, a precious metals trader at InProved, according to Reuters. In Hong Kong, gold was sold at par to a $1.50 premium, while Singapore prices ranged from par to a $1.40 premium. In Japan, bullion was sold at par to a premium of $0.60. 'There was lots of demand to buy if the price dropped even slightly. Regardless of the Japan-US trade deal, gold is being purchased as an asset class amid low interest rates," a Japan-based trader said. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
