In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚrīkrama (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.
