The New Year: Desire for Mukti (Freedom) and Bhukti (Fulfillment)

The New Year: Desire for Freedom and FulfillmentThis 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 lifeThe relationship between bhukti (enjoyment, participation in life) and mukti (liberation, freedom)How desire matures when guided by vimarśa—reflective wisdom and clear seeingWhy this New Year moment invites orientation along with resolutionHow desire can support self-mastery, clarity, and conscious direction when held with discernmentThis 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.✨ If our Wild Temple podcast resonates with you... please follow, leave a comment on your listening platform, or share it with others who may benefit.
