Purva Mimamsa is one of the six orthodox schools of Indian philosophy, primarily focused on the interpretation of the Vedas. It emphasizes the importance of rituals and duties, asserting that performing prescribed actions leads to spiritual progress and fulfillment. The foundational text of this school is the Mimamsa Sutras, attributed to Jaimini. The central tenet of Purva Mimamsa is the idea that the Vedic texts are eternal and authoritative. It explores the nature of dharma (righteousness) and the significance of actions, arguing that understanding and performing rituals correctly is essential for achieving desired outcomes in life and the afterlife.
