In Hinduism
Mīmāṃsā (school of philosophy)
Adhidaivika (अधिदैविक, “monotheism”).—According to this view, the various gods who are glorified in the Veda are but functions and facets of the One Godhead. If the words are interpreted in the etymological sense, every hymn in the Veda can be understood as directly referring to the One God. Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Jayatirtha, Raghavendra, Atmananda, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Sri Aurobindo.4 T.V. Kapali Sastry were all of this view.
Mimamsa (मीमांसा, mīmāṃsā) refers to one of the six orthodox Hindu schools of philosophy, emphasizing the nature of dharma and the philosophy of language. The literature in this school is also known for its in-depth study of ritual actions and social duties.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Ādhidaivika (आधिदैविक) refers to “divine calamities”, representing one of the three types of hindrances (vighna), as mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 1.18.—Accordingly, “[...] an intelligent man must worship all deities in order to ward off all sorts of hindrances (vighna). [...] The third type of hindrance is Ādhidaivika (divine calamities). When lightning strikes, small pox, cholera, plague, typhus fever and similar infectious diseases spread and bad awful dreams, evil planets affecting the birth star or Rāśi (sign of the zodiac) occur, these hindrances are called Ādhidaivika. [...] In order to ward off these hindrances and on occasions when one touches a corpse, a Cāṇḍāla or a fallen man and goes inside without bathing, Śānti Yajña shall be performed to remove the evil effects”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Ādhidaivika (आधिदैविक) refers to “supernatural afflictions”, according to the Pātravidhi—a manual of the Lakulīśa Pāśupata school of Śaivism dealing with purification of the initiate’s vessel (pātra) and other concerned issues.—Accordingly, “When an ascetic [who has undertaken the vow of] eating from the ascetic’s vessel is afflicted with diseases, then having patience, that wise man should ignore the disease. (49) Whatsoever [affliction there may be] that is spiritual, and whatsoever proceeds from nature, and whatsoever people report as proceeding from supernatural elements (ādhidaivika), the wise man should endure all of them. (50)”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
