Holika fire is considered very sacred in the scriptures, as it contains the devotion of devotee Prahlad and the power of Lord Narasimha. We often return home after watching Holika Dahan, but do you know that the ash left after burning (Holika Bhasma) is actually a divine medicine and a treasure of good luck? If you are struggling with minor problems, evil eye or financial crunch, then these simple remedies done with the ashes of cooled Holika can open the doors of your luck in 2026. Let us learn about these measures.
1. Domestic discord and Vaastu defects
If there are unnecessary fights in your house or you feel heavy, then understand that negative energy is present there. To remove this negative energy, bring some ash home after it cools down in the morning the next day after Holika Dahan. Sprinkle a little of this ash in every corner of the house. It is believed that doing this removes Vaastu defects and brings peace and happiness in the house.
2. Secret way to fill the empty safe
If even after working hard your pockets remain empty or money keeps flowing, then adopt this simple method. Take a small red silk cloth. Keep some Holika ashes and a silver coin (if not available then a copper coin) in it. Make a small bundle and keep it in your safe or purse. It is believed that this stops unnecessary expenses and brings prosperity.
3. Protection from evil eye and evil eye
Small children often suffer from the evil eye, or the health of elders in the house suddenly deteriorates. Put Holika’s ashes in an amulet and wear it around the neck, or apply a small tilak of this ash on the forehead every morning. It acts as a protective shield and also neutralizes the evil effects of planets like Rahu and Ketu.
4. For progress in job and business
If your work is about to deteriorate or your business is facing losses, then this ash remedy is very effective. Mix some mustard seeds and whole salt in Holika ashes. Fill it in a glass bowl and hide it somewhere near the main gate of your work place (office or shop). This brings customers and removes obstacles in business.
5. Relief from illness and mental stress
If someone in the house has been ill for a long time or you are under a lot of stress, then on the full moon night (after Holika Dahan), mix some ash in water and take a bath with it (or add a pinch in your bathing water). This is called ‘Vibhuti Snan’, which absorbs negativity from the body and gives peace to the mind.
6. To get relief from debt: If you are burdened with debt, then mix some yellow mustard seeds in the ashes of Holika and fill it in a copper vessel. Keep it in the north direction of your house. It is believed that this will help in getting back the stuck money.
