	Mimamsa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mimamsa is better known as Purva Mimamsa since it investigates the Purva or "earlier" portions of the Vedas.
		The foundational text for the Mimamsa school is the Purva Mimamsa Sutras of Jaimini.
		The beliefs of the Mimamsa school include rejection of a creator God as well as scriptures on dharma outside of the Vedic tradition, and acceptance of the existence of svarga or heaven awaiting the person who has acted righteously in his or her life.

	Mimamsa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In this context Mimamsa would have fully meant "the investigation of the proper interpretation of the Vedic texts." The Mimamsa school is better known as the Purva Mimamsa school, meaning the Prior School of Investigation, because it is concerned with the earlier or prior section of the Vedas.
		Purva Mimamsa is sometimes called Dharma Mimamsa as it is an investigation into the dharma established by the Vedas.
		Mimamsa originated not as a school but as a successor to the ritual Sutra literature, whose purpose was to correctly interpret the Vedas.

	Purva Mimamsa by Dr. Subhash C. Sharma
		The Purva Mimamsa being earlier of the two (in the logical sense at least) is ritualistic thematically, whereas the Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta represents knowledge of the truth of things.
		Purva Mimamsa is generally called the Mimamsa (meaning inquiry or interpretation), and in interpreting the Vedic text discusses the doctrine of the eternity of sound identified with Brahman.
		Thus Purva Mimamsa is inquiry into or interpretation of the first or the Mantra portion of the Veda, and the Uttara Mimamsa is the inquiry into the later or the Upanisad portion.

	Vedanta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vedānta is also called Uttara Mimamsa, or the latter enquiry, and is often paired with Purva Mimamsa, the former enquiry.
		Purva Mimamsa, usually simply called Mimamsa, deals with explanations of the fire-sacrifices of the Vedic mantras (in the Samhita portion of the Vedas) and Brahmanas, while Vedanta explicates the esoteric teachings of the Āraņyakas and the Upanishads.
		The epistemology of Advaita, Vishishtadvaita and Mimamsa (ie, purva-) is common.

	purva (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		One of the Six Schools of traditional Hindu philosophy, most commonly referred to simply as Mimamsa ("investigation"); it was given the name Purva Mimamsa to distinguish it from the Uttara ("later") Mimamsa school, better known as Vedanta.
		Mimamsas affirmed that the Vedas were the source of perfect knowledge, and believed that the Vedas had not been composed either by God or by human beings, but rather simply heard by the ancient sages through their advanced powers of perception, and then transmitted orally from generation to generation.
		Mimamsas believed in the existence of the soul, and the necessary connection of actions with their results inherent in the notion of karma, since both of these things were attested in the Vedas.

		The Mimamsa, on the other hand, consists of the Vedanta (Uttara Mimamsa) and the Purva Mimamsa which relate, respectively, to God and the acts of service (sacrifice).
		While in the Purva Mimamsa (or Karma Mimamsa) Jaimini investigates the duties (dharma) enjoined by the Veda, together with the rewards attached thereto, in the Uttara Mimamsa Badarayana describes the philosophico-theological views of the Upanisads.
		In the Mimamsas (the Purva Mimamsa and the Vedanta) liberation and salvation are attainable by identifying and achieving a close relationship (or unity) of soul with Brahman.

		In the Purva Mimamsa the emphasis is on the ethical side.
		Veda (and its interpretation, or the Mimamsa, therefore) talks of one ultimate God (RV-10-121-3), inquires into and interprets various sacrifices (rites, worships as in RV-10-37-4 and RV-10-87-2), and expels the atheists (godless) from yajna or sacrifice (RV-9-13-9, RV-9-29-5, RV-9-61-25, RV-9-63-5).

		Mimamsa, Vedanta etc. - Srisha, I get the impression that you associate > pUrva mImAmSA primarily with the kArytAvAda of Prabhakara.
		This is just as if you change the system created by Whitehead and Russell, as by dropping a few axioms, and by substituting some for others, you can still have a system of number theory, but not one that you can meaningfully call Whitehead and Russell's.
		It quite certainly is; as I think I said in a posting before, uttara- miimaamsaa and Vedanta are close entities, but are not identical, just as the color of a fruit and its state of ripeness are.

		When one performs a Vedic ritual, the pUrva mImAmsaka would say that the ritual gives rise to some good result.
		The very idea of practise of dharma without regard to result is not even considered in pUrva mImAmsA.

		The Veda, the Cabala, the Bible, the Koran, or the Confucian teachings suggest specific actions for specific effects and Purva Mimamsa attempts to justify the wisdom of following scripture as a blueprint of natural law.
