DESCRIPTION

Mimamsa literally means investigation. Mimamsa seeks to investigate the scriptures; namely, the Vedas and try to make sense of them through a rigorous and structured exegesis. Interestingly, for a system that emphasizes on the central position of the Vedas in its framework, it does not uphold any God or a divine being who revealed that text. Nor would it admit that the Vedas were a human production. It is an authorless text that yet commands supreme authority as a text claimed to be divinely revealed would. according to Mimamsa. This fascinating school of thought seeks to interpret the ritual texts of the Vedas and its hermeneutics is derived from the Mimamsa Sutra of the Sage Jaimini.
