In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKramārcana (क्रमार्चन) (also Kramapūjā) refers to the “worship of the Krama”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—As the goddess is the main object of worship of the Kubjikā Tantras, it is her Vidyā that is considered primary out of these two. The seed-syllable Vidyā and its male counterpart are projected into the Point that marks the centre of the maṇḍala. The remaining mantras that constitute the main Krama are projected into the Triangle and Hexagon that surround them and then into the rest of the maṇḍala. Accordingly the maṇḍala of Kaula cults are all ‘Kramamaṇḍalas’ and the worship of the maṇḍala is the Worship of the Krama (kramārcana or, less often, kramapūjā).
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
