Question: term "energy" (="hare"?)

I noticed some religious sects coming from Hindu religions
frequently use term "energy" to denote something spiritual,
and I would like to know:
- is it widely used in Hindu religions, or in few sects only,
- if it is used widely what does it mean (precisely),

Also, one of religious groups using the term is Hare Krishna
movement (they say "Hare Krishna" means "energy of Krishna"),
is the movement considered to be a sect, or to be in the
mainstream of Hindu religion? (they of course claim to be in
the mainstream, but what Hindu say about them?)

thanks in advance for the info,
Jerzy
