Recite the following mantra for 108 times and then set fire to the pile:

“Om Prehlaadaye Namaha”

The next morning after taking bath collect some ash of the bonfire and apply it on your forehead and by sitting before an idol of Kuber (Lord of wealth) recite 108 times the following mantra:

“Kuber tvamm dhanadheesh grihay te Kamla sthita,
Tvamm Devi presh aashutvamm madgrihay te namo namaha”

Keep some ash tied in a piece of yellow cloth in your pocket always till the next year’s Holika Dahan and then replace it with new ash. This way you will keep attracting wealth throughout the year and will also be protected from negative forces.

The Colours of Prosperity…

Red and Yellow are the main colours associated with wealth or prosperity. The red colour is governed by Mars and its use will give vitality, passion and zest for earning wealth as this colour is of Rajsic quality.

Yellow is under Jupiter hence it will shower wealth and happiness through righteous ways as it is a mixture of Rajsic and Satvik qualities. Therefore on both these days of holi use as much as possible of these two colours as compared to other colours. Avoid using black colour which will restrict prosperity.

Situated in Uttar Pradesh, all the major temples of the region dedicated to Krishna and Radha celebrate Holi on a different day. In these parts celebrating Holi means getting drenched with colored water during these celebrations is considered to be a blessing from god and is considered auspicious.

Since Radha belonged to Barsana while Krishna belonged to Nandagaon, on the day of Holi, men from Nandagaon go to Barsana to celebrate Holi with the women there.
