Mimamsa is a Sanskrit word meaning "investigation, inquiry, discussion." The term was applied to one of the six Hindu philosophical darsanas, viewpoints. The Mimamsa brahmans are spread at temples all over India. http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/hindu/ascetic/mimamsa.html      Karma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Christian teachings do not usually include the idea of Karma, although some parallels can be made, as exemplified by biblical verses of 'God is not mocked, what a man sows he must reap' and 'Vengeance is mine says the Lord'. It is vital to note that karma is not an instrument of a god, or a single God, but is rather the physical and spiritual 'physics' of being. Most teachings say that for common mortals, having an involvement with Karma is an unavoidable part of day-to-day living. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma      Brahma Sutras by Swami Sivananda Salutations to Sri Vyasa, the Avatara of Vishnu, the wise Badarayana and Sri Krishna Dvaipayana. Mimamsa means the investigation or enquiry into the connected meaning of the sacred texts. You can understand the second chapter if you have a knowledge of Sankhya, Nyaya, Yoga, Mimamsa, Vaiseshika Darsana and Buddhistic school, too. http://www.swami-krishnananda.org/bs_0/bs_intro.html      Hindu Scriptures (Mimamsa Sastra is of two kinds: the Karma or actions(or Poorva) Mimamsa and Sharirika (or Uttara) Mimamsa or Vedanta or knowledge) The holy scriptures of India, as is well known, consist of the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda, and the exegetical texts, the Vedangas which are six viz., Siksha, Vyakarana, Nirukta, Chandas, Jyotisha and Kalpa; and their four supplements viz., Purana, Nyaya, Mimamsa and Dharma Sastra. The first is said to be oriented towards the attainment of Swarga or Heaven and the second towards immortality. http://www.hinduism.co.za/vedas-.htm      Hindu - Wikipedia Indonesia karma, and moksha (liberation) of every soul through a variety of moral, action-based, and meditative yogas. The Uttara ("later") Mimamsa school is perhaps one of the cornerstone movements of Hinduism and certainly was responsible for a new wave of philosophical and meditative inquiry, renewal of faith, and cultural reform. It, like the Upanishads, seeks realization of the Atman as being nothing other than the infinite Brahman through ethical (mind), physical (body) and meditational (soul) practices of one-pointedness on the 'one supreme truth.' See Yoga for an in-depth look at its history. http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu      Theism Debate Mimamsa is based on the revelation in the Vedas, which are considered as eternal as the world. Through immobile meditation thoughtfulness and concentration are increased, and meditation needs to be practiced up to death. The Vedanta school complements Mimamsa's focus on the Vedas and sacrifices by illuminating the knowledge of the Upanishads as the "end of the Vedas," which is what Vedanta means. http://uk.msnusers.com/TheismDebate/hinduphilosophy.msnw      Search Results for karma - Encyclopædia Britannica The belief in rebirth, or samsara, as a potentially endless series of worldly existences in which every being is caught up was already associated with the doctrine of karma (Sanskrit: karma n;...

Becoming Arihanta, Jina or Kevali, removing of four Ghati Karma, and attaining Kevalijnan (Omniscience) are all equivalent. The path of removal of karma is the Jain path of purification or spiritual progress which ultimately leads to perfection or Godhood. http://www.jainmeditation.org/pages/godhood.html      Philosophy Karma cannot destroy the cycle of births and deaths, and cannot give eternal bliss and immortality. Upasana (worship) and Jnana (knowledge) are only accessories to Karma. Jaimini, a disciple of Vyasa, composed the Sutras of the Mimamsa school, which is based on the ritual sections of the Vedas. http://www.hinduism.co.za/philosop.htm      An Analysis of the Brahma Sutra by Swami Krishnananda The offering physically in the form of charu, ghee etc., is symbolic of a prayer offered to the divinity which is the presiding principle over the mantras of the Veda. Nyaya, Vaiseshika, Sankhya, Yoga, Mimamsa or Purva Mimamsa and Vedanta are the six schools of philosophy. There have been historical controversies and endless discussions on the meaning of action and knowledge, and even today we cannot say that people have come to a conclusion as to what action means and what knowledge is. http://www.swami-krishnananda.org/brahma/brahma_06.html      World Almanac for Kids To the path of works, or karma (here designating sacrificial and ritual acts), and the path of knowledge, or jnana (the Upanishadic meditation on the godhead), was added a mediating third path, the passionate devotion to God, or BHAKTI, a religious ideal that came to combine and transcend the other two paths. Therefore, most Hindus are devoted (through bhakti) to gods whom they worship in rituals (through karma) and whom they understand (through jnana) as aspects of ultimate reality, the material reflection of which is all an illusion ( maya) wrought by God in a spirit of play ( lila). Although all Hindus acknowledge the existence and importance of a number of gods and demigods, most individual worshipers are primarily devoted to a single god or goddess, of whom Shiva, Vishnu, and the Goddess are the most popular. http://www.worldalmanacforkids.com/explore/religion/hinduism.html      Vidya Sri Jaimini, a disciple of Sri Vyasa Maharishi, founded the system of Poorva Mimamsa or Karma Mimamsa. He thinks that final emancipation can be attained through Karma (action) combined with Jnana (knowledge). Sri Vyasa Maharishi, son of Sri Parasara Maharishi, founded the Utthira Mimamsa system of philosophy. http://www.bnaiyer.com/vidya/dharsana-05.html      REINCARNATION IN HINDUISM Hinduism does not insist on many dogmas; regarding God, a Hindu can be believer of monotheism or polytheism or pantheism or monism or even atheism (for example the orthodox Hindu schools of Samkhya and Mimamsa explain everything, including the liberation of the soul without being preoccupied about the existence of God). The glorification of shrines (tirthamahatmya), pilgrimage and bathing at the holy shrines can wipe away one's past bad karma. By Bhakti (loving devotion) worship of a personal God (Vishnu or Krishna) is a sure means of overcoming one's bad karma and its consequences. http://www.spiritual-wholeness.org/faqs/reincgen/hindrein.htm      Hinduism - Ethics Of The Six Systems Of Philosophy But just as the New Testament supersedes the Old Testament, so does the Vedanta, the jnana kanda, or part of knowledge, supersede the Purva Mimamsa, the karma kanda, or part of works. They are the Purva Mimamsa, the Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta, the Samkhya, the Yoga, the Vaiseshika, and the Nyaya. As has been said, the doctrines of karma and samsara are unquestioningly held. http://www.oldandsold.com/articles25/hindu-10.shtml      Nothing is Lost: Chronology of Hinduism Though always action oriented ("what does this text tell me to do?") when applied to the Vedas, Mimamsa procedures went on to be applied to the interpretation of other kinds of texts, forming the basis for all scriptural analysis. Note that this is the second specific sense of the term Vedanta, or "end of the Vedas." The first was more literal, referring to the Upanisads, which were at the end of the Vedic body of literature. later 20th century Borrowing of Hindu ideas (karma, dharma, reincarnation, etc.) by Euro-American "New Age" synthesizers and popularizers. http://condor.depaul.edu/~dgitomer/webrel242/Nothing%20is%20Lost.html      eadsin The sources I have looked into do not clearly state that the Nyaya or the Vaisheshika have fundamental text and the Purva Mimamsa is dedicated to interpreting the Veda so it would seem that the Veda is the fundamental text and the Purva Mimamsa Sutra was created to accompany the school. There are three types of orthodox yoga in Hinduism – karma yoga, jnana yoga, and bhakti yoga.

Sundararajan: THE HINDU MODELS OF INTER-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE One has to practice the disciplines of knowledge (jnana yoga), devotion (bhakti yoga), and self-surrender (prapatti) additionally, and even the dharmic duties included under the discipline of action (karma yoga) had to be performed in the spirit of detachment, if these actions are to become spiritually efficacious in strengthening one's pursuit of moksha. This lack of direct link between dharma and moksha is also reflected in the tensional relationship between two important stages of life in the Hindu tradition, namely, the married householder (gruhastha) and the mendicant (sannyasi). After reading the Hindu critique of Buddhism especially in darshanas (philosophical schools), one is often led to wonder whether the Hindu philosophers ever cared to look into primary Buddhist sources before writing their critiques of them. http://www.here-now4u.de/eng/the_hindu_models_of_inter-reli.htm      Sanatana Dharma Philosophy An original article by Sri Vishal Agarwal comparing Hindu beliefs with the "one life" beliefs of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Schools of Thought Shad Darshana includes six classical Indian schools of thought that are based upon the Vedas: Nyaya, Vaisesika, Sankhya, Yoga, Purva Mimamsa, and Uttarva Mimamsa (or Vedanta). Four major paths are described to attain realization: bhakti, or devotion; karma, or selfless action; jnana, or wisdom; and raja, which is more meditative. http://www.jayarams.com/dharma/SD02.13.03.txt      Áèáëèîòåêà Luksian key Suhotra Swami. Six Systems of Vedic Philosophy. The term padartha means "the object denoted by a word," and according to Vaisesika philosophy all objects denoted by words can be broadly divided into two main classes--that which exists, and that which does not exist. Testimony Sabda or testimony literally means `words'; it is the knowledge of objects derived from words or sentences, and is, according to Nyaya, the fourth and final source of valid experiential knowledge. To the ancient people of Bharatavarsha (Greater India), the word Veda had an even more profound import than the word science has for us today. http://lib.luksian.com/texte/phil_rel/088      [No title] Take Maharishi Vedavyasa the great grandson of Vasishta, the grandson of Sakti, the son of Parasara and the father of Maharishi Shuka who is held in the highest esteem by the great Rishis themselves for this piety, Brahmagnana, and unalloyed purity of life. Such wonderful display of sutras is quite peculiar to Sanskrit and I have not heard of the existence of such a system of sutras in any other language in the world. B.

Only we when do that, more than the direct fruit of the karma, due to the renouncing of the karma-phala, we will get the greatest fruit of all - chitha shuddhi [*purity of mind*]. The stand of pUrva mimAmsakAs that neither bhAkthi nor gyAnA is required, however, was not acceptable to Him. http://www.advaita-vedanta.org/series/shankara_sampradaya/sankara_sampradhayam-6.htm      AN OUTLINE OF HINDU PHILOSOPHY Each is divided into three sections, the Samhitas, Brahmanas, and Aranyakas, which in turn are divided into two – the rituals, hymns, rites, duties, sacrifices and sciences, known as the Karma Khanda, (action section) and the philosophical section of each known as the Vidya Khanda (knowledge section). The six systems of Hindu philosophy, (Nyaya, Vaisesika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa and Vedanta) are known as Darshanas, which means view, vision, seeing, or viewpoint. They are not separate ideas that can exist apart with integrity, for they are in fact different aspects of the one truth. http://www.midcoast.com.au/~russat/a_outline_hindu_philos.html      Notes on Spiritual Heritage It is not clear whether Mimamsa at all accepts an omnipotent God.

Purva (karma) mimamsa philosophers maintain that if there is a God, He is subjected to our fruitive activities. Therefore they do not see any need to become devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. http://www.indiadivine.com/upanishads-darshanas1.htm      Sankara Mandana was brought up in the Karma Mimamsa faith and so he had intense hatred for the Sannyasins.
