Krama

8th-11th century CE

The 'Sequence' or 'Cycle' tradition, centered on the worship of Kali as the dynamic pulsation of Consciousness through successive phases of creation, stasis, and reabsorption. Its signature teaching is the twelve Kalis -- twelve aspects of awareness cycling through every moment of experience.
