In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Śrīkrama (श्रीक्रम) refers to the “Kubjikā cult”.—The various meanings of the term in the context of the Kubjikā Tantras and those of other schools derive from these literal meanings of the word. We can distinguish varying shades of meaning by examining the context in which the term is used. First, we observe that ‘krama’ can denote a particular Kaula tradition, its teachings, lineages, ritual, and pantheon. In many respects, Krama, in this sense of the word, is similar in meaning to Kula. The Kubjikā cult is called the Śrīkrama. The equivalent Kālī cult is the Kālīkrama. The Western Path (paścimamārga) of the Kubjikā Tantras is the Śrīkrama. It is the tradition—krama—of the goddess who bestows well-being and prosperity—śrī. It is also called the Paścimakrama or Paścimaśrīkrama.
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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Śrīkrama (श्रीक्रम) or Śrīkramatantra refers to one of the Tantras mentioned in the Mahāmokṣa-Tantra, a Sanskrit manuscript collected in volume 12 of the catalogue “Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts (second series)” by Mahamahopadhyaya Haraprasad Shastri.—The Mahāmokṣatantra manuscript, consisting of 3,024 ślokas (metrical verses), is deposit: Dhaka, Vikramapura Majhapada, Babu Rasavihari Raya. It deals with the salvation, cosmogony (i.e., the order of cosmic regions) and contains a bibliography of Tantric literature.—The catalogue includes the term—Śrīkrama in its ‘subject-matter list’ or Viṣaya (which lists topics, chapters and technical terms).
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.
India history and geography
Śrīkrama (श्रीक्रम) or Śrīkramatantra is the name of a Tantra categorized as “Viṣṇukrānta”, and is mentioned in a (further unknown) book in the possession of Kamlesh Punyark [=Śrī Kamaleśa Puṇyārka or श्री कमलेश पुण्यार्क].—This book contains a detailed discussion of the basics of Tantra and opens with a list of three times sixty-four Tantras. One such text is the श्रीक्रम-तन्त्रम् [śrīkrama-tantram] or श्रीक्रम [śrīkrama].
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
