Life is stuck? Money comes, but doesn’t stay? Relationships are formed, but then they break? If you feel that you put in the effort, but the results are not there, then perhaps the planetary movements are against you. And in such a situation, the remedies that have the most immediate effect come from the Red Book (Lal Kitab). ---
What is the Red Book and why is it so powerful? The Red Book of the Sea 1941 — This is the book that changed the world of astrology. Pandit Shri Roopchand Joshi Ji (18 January 1898 - 24 December 1982) wrote it in Urdu. It is the third part (Guttak) of his five invaluable books, which is the most famous in the world of astrology. The specialty of the Red Book is that it describes remedies from common household items—milk, jaggery, silver, copper, saffron, sandalwood—without any expensive rituals or ceremonies, which directly affect the planets. While Vedic astrology emphasizes gems and mantras, the Red Book says, “Your destiny is in your hands, you just need to know how to use the right remedies.”
The biggest principle of the Red Book is the permanent houses (12 houses) and the position of the planets in them. Every planet has its own permanent house, and when a planet moves away from its house, trouble begins. To remove these troubles, Pandit Ji has given simple and foolproof remedies. > “The Red Book is a unique astrology, which awakens the sleeping destiny.” — Red Book 1941, page 3

Important Rules - No Remedy Will Work Without These
Before performing the remedies in Lal Kitab 1941, remember these rules absolutely. Without them, the effect of the remedy may be half or zero:
1. The 43-day rule
It is clearly written on page 73 of Lal Kitab 1941 - Perform the remedy continuously for 40 or 43 days. Do not skip a single day in between. If it breaks in between, start counting again. ### 2. Don’t Tell Anyone The most strict rule of Lal Kitab - Do not tell anyone about your remedy. Not to family, not to friends, not on social media. The remedy that was told, became weak. ### 3. Have Faith, Don’t Doubt After starting the remedy, do it with complete faith. Thinking in between, “Will it work or not,” reduces the power of the remedy. Pandit Ji wrote - “Reading repeatedly without understanding will reveal the secret of this knowledge with your own eyes.”
4. Do Not Do Opposing Remedies Together
In Lal Kitab, every planet has its own enemy planet. Do not perform remedies for Sun and Saturn together. Do not start remedies for Moon and Rahu on the same day. First complete the remedy for one planet for 43 days, then start the second. ### 5. Before or After Sunrise - Take Care of the Time Most remedies should be performed around sunrise in the morning. Remedies for Saturn and Rahu-Ketu can also be performed in the evening or at night. But do not perform any remedy in the afternoon. | Planet | Time of Remedy | Day of Remedy | |---|---|---| | Sun | Sunrise | Sunday | | Moon | Before Sunrise / Night | Monday | | Mars | Morning | Tuesday | | Mercury | Morning | Wednesday | | Jupiter | Morning | Thursday | | Venus | Morning | Friday | | Saturn | Evening / Night | Saturday | | Rahu | Night | Saturday | | Ketu | Evening | Tuesday / Saturday |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many days does it take for Lal Kitab remedies to show effect? According to Lal Kitab, most remedies show their full effect in 40 to 43 days. Some people start feeling the difference in 15-20 days, but the full benefit is only achieved after 43 days. It is important not to skip a single day in between. If it breaks in between, start again. Be patient – planets move at their own pace, it takes a little time to turn them. ### Can Lal Kitab remedies be done without a horoscope? Yes, absolutely. This is the biggest feature of Lal Kitab. While a birth chart is essential for every remedy in Vedic astrology, many common Lal Kitab remedies can be done without looking at the horoscope. However, if your correct birth chart is available, an astrologer can identify the most important planets for you and suggest precise remedies that will have a faster effect. But the general remedies given above are beneficial for everyone. ### What precautions should be taken while doing Lal Kitab remedies? First — Do not tell anyone what remedy you are doing. Second — Have faith and belief in your mind while doing the remedy, do not doubt. Third — The thing that is being used in the remedy (milk, jaggery, copper, etc.) should be pure and original. Adulteration weakens the remedy. Fourth — After doing the remedy, come home directly from that place, do not talk to anyone in between. And most importantly — Do it continuously for 43 days, do not skip in between.
Can you do many remedies at once? No, do the remedy for only one planet at a time. It is clearly stated in Lal Kitab that doing remedies for opposing planets at the same time eliminates the effect of both. Example: Do not apply the remedies of Sun and Saturn simultaneously, as they are enemies of each other. First, complete the 43-day remedy for one planet, then start the remedy for the second planet. However, if two planets are friends (such as Sun-Mars or Jupiter-Moon), their remedies can be applied together, but consult an expert for this. ### What is the difference between the Lal Kitab and Vedic astrology remedies? This is a very important question. Vedic astrology prescribes remedies such as chanting mantras, performing Havan, wearing gemstones, and worship – which are often expensive and complex. Lal Kitab remedies are very simple and inexpensive – done with everyday items like milk, jaggery, copper, silver, and saffron. Vedic astrology emphasizes the Dasha-Antardasha of the planets, while Lal Kitab emphasizes the “Pakka Ghars” (12 houses) and palm lines. Both systems are authentic – it’s just the method that differs. Lal Kitab is also called “poor people’s astrology” because its remedies are within everyone’s reach. ### Can women also do Lal Kitab remedies? Yes, absolutely. The remedies of Lal Kitab work equally well for both men and women. However, keep in mind some remedies – such as women should not worship the Peepal tree on Saturdays (they can do it on other days). Stop the remedies during menstruation and start them again later – add the days in between to the count. ### Where can I find the original Lal Kitab 1941? The Lal Kitab was originally written in Urdu. Its Hindi transliteration has been done by Vidyarthi Lal Kitab (Haresh Pancholi, Ahmedabad), which is available free on the internet. The original Lal Kitab 1941 is also called “Third Part – Gutka”. Many fake or edited books are available in the market – always buy the book published in the name of Pandit Shri Roopchand Joshi Ji. ---
