The New Year: Desire for Mukti (Freedom) and Bhukti (Fulfillment)
The New Year: Desire for Freedom and Fulfillment
This episode marks a threshold—a bridge into the next season (our 3rd) of The Wild Temple Podcast.
Here, Brooke reflects in a solocast, on the transition from a year devoted to Dharma—structure, coherence, and sacred technologies—into a new season centered on Desire. In the Tantric tradition, desire is not something to overcome or supress, but a living intelligence that, when understood, becomes a path toward freedom (mukti) and fulfillment (bhukti).
Drawing from Tantra and lived practice, this episode explores:
- Desire as a generative force that moves through a dharmic life
- The relationship between bhukti (enjoyment, participation in life) and mukti (liberation, freedom)
- How desire matures when guided by vimarśa—reflective wisdom and clear seeing
- Why this New Year moment invites orientation along with resolution
- How desire can support self-mastery, clarity, and conscious direction when held with discernment
This is an episode that offers a contemplative entry into a season where desire is approached as a teacher, a current, and a companion on the path of dharmic living.
