The philosophy class was fully energetic and all the students were expecting their Lecturer, because they have lots of questions in their mind for clarification. At last the Lecturer entered into the class room, all the students wished him and the Lecture wished them in reply and said” Dear students I hope you all understood the last class lessons. Do you have any doubts? The students asked so many questions also the Lecturer clarified their doubts then finally they asked the Lecturer that “ Sir we are very interested to know what is the “Mimmamsa Tradition” We are eagerly awaiting to know the description about that tradition ”.

Lecturer replied “ yes my beloved students ,this kind of firing interest should raise in your mind then only you all can learn and understand completely. I am so happy and explain about the Mimmamsa Tradition. Listen I have already told that Mimamsa meaning is Investigation, Inquiry, or discussion you all aware of that

This is the particular field of Hindu philosophy' and the investigation of the proper interpretation of the Vedic texts.

"There are two kind of philosophers, the first is Poorva Mimmamsa, this is prior school of Investigation composed by sage Jaimini ca. 3rd to 1st century BCE. and the second is Uttara Mimmamsa which is later part of the Veda. It is a different form of analysis composed by The great scholar Badarayana(500-200 B.C) (Veda Vyasa).

This system has a deep faith in the Vedas and it supports the law of karma. (Means Duty) and also this system influences the theory of liberation, .

The sage Jaimini's purva mimmasa was very tough to understand. It is said at once all the pundits misunderstood the nature and the origin of Purva Mimmamsa without knowing the presentation of the metaphysical discoveries, all adopted the untrue ideas concerning the potential self-rule of their own knowledge. At one stage all became to do wrong acts. After the Uttara mimmamsa they understood the reality of purva mimmamsa .

The Purva and Uttara are not only the terms of written record,also it can be applied as the theological way. Purva is religiously basic system. Uttara is religiously superior. Purva Mimamsa is called Dharma Mimamsa as it is an investigation into the dharma established by the Vedas. Uttara Mimmamsa is called Karma Mimamsa.

Interruption of a student “previously any school originated to mimmamsa sir?”

“No mimmamsa purely originated through a successor to the religious ceremony Sutra literature. The focus was on ritual traditions found in the Vedas.

The earliest Mimamsa text is the most important to perceive the Mimamsa Sutra of Jaimini,composed between 300 and 100 BCE.
Mimamsa was to provide the basis for Tantric science or meta linguistic speculations. symbolic system used to discuss, describe, or analyze
Symbol of Mimamsa is mainly expressed in the sacrificial ritual. Successful ritual is related to the universe considered and to the life of the individual. This is through the identification of ritual acts of objects.

The aim of Mimamsa is to provide education on dharma, ritual obligations and privileges, proper performance, maintain the harmony of the world and further the personal goals of the performer.
