Kramapūjā (क्रमपूजा) (also Kramārcana) refers to “outer rituals”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—A good disciple should always be intent on the inner practice of Yoga, attend to outer ritual (kramapūjā) and observe the teacher’s Command. In this way he will attain the Kaula accomplishment (kaulikī siddhi), which is liberation. One who knows the Command and its power and, well concealed, worships the teacher, quickly achieves success (siddhi).
