Bandhu Bhava as per Hindu astrology is the house indicating relations in a person’s horoscope. The house, which stands for brothers and sisters, is referred to as Sahaja Bhava (born together). Bandhu Bhava is examined for indications about relatives and relationships with them. It is the fourth house in a horoscope. A strong placement of Budha (mercury) indicates respect of relatives. If Guru (Jupiter or Brishaspati) resides in the fourth house then the person will have highly placed relatives. If the Lord of the fourth house is malefic, then relatives will suffer, the person will be disliked by relatives and there will hatred in the family.

A person may at first take some external thing as an object of his meditation, but he should afterwards think of it as existing only in the form of the mind; and lastly the mind also should be reduced to Brahman which is pure consciousness. Then alone one is said to have reached the highest goal. By constant practice of contemplation and discrimination there dawns on the mind of the aspirant the knowledge that Brahman alone is and nothing else exists. Thus the ignorance which has so long deluded him by projecting the world of duality, comes to an end. Thereafter the mind also, which by destroying ignorance has brought the aspirant so close to Brahman, vanishes like the fire which after consuming its fuel is itself extinguished, then Brahman alone shines in Its own glory. After long practice, the aspirant at first realizes, while in Samadhi, the presence of Brahman which pervades the inner and the outer world. But this is not all. He should then hold on this Brahmic consciousnes
