In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCatuṣkrama (चतुष्क्रम) [=kramacatuṣka?] refers to the four classes of Krama (“the sequence of the phases of manifestation”).—The term krama is commonly used in this sense in the Tantras of the Kālīkrama. Indeed, one can say that it is specific to them. Thus, although the term is virtually never understood or applied in this sense in the Kubjikā Tantras, this sequence, supplies the basic format for the liturgies of the Kālīkrama. This Krama may be four-fold (kramacatuṣka) [some schools add a fifth].
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.
