The Krama School of the Trika aivism of Kashmir, more familiar as Klkrama in the contemporary parlance, has turned out to be the most crucial among the monistic aiva traditions of medieval Kashmir after the Pratyabhij school, a scenario people could hardly envisage six decades back when it first came to the notice of modern scholarship. The doctrine of Klkrama, lit. sequential order of consciousness deities called Kls, constitutes the most pivotal aspect of this school marked by a synchronous resonance between the esoteric/Tntric and cognitive/metaphysical undercurrents of the system.
