In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram (shaivism)Kramadarśana (क्रमदर्शन) refers to the “Krama system”, according to Abhinavagupta’s commentary to Tantrāloka verse 3.256-257.— Śitikaṇṭha in his Mahānāyaprakāśa (Light on the Great Teaching) refers to the Krama system as one of several kuladarśanas. The term ‘Kramadarśana’ is not uncommon. Jayaratha refers to it for matters that are not philosophical. For example, when he discusses why Abhinavagupta maintains that there are only twelve Kālīs in a certain maṇḍala he begins by saying: “surely it is everywhere (the case) in the Kramadarśana that in the centre of the goddesses, the venerable Sṛṣṭi (Kalī) and the rest, there is (one) called the venerable goddess Sukālī and so there are thirteen goddesses in the Wheel of the Nameless”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
