In Hindu thought who is a " MEMAMSA"?

Answer 1

The six philosophical theses are:-
(1) Vaishesika, propounded by Kanadada Rsi,
(2) Nyaya, propounded by Gautama Rsi,
(3) Yoga, or mysticism, propounded by Patanjali Rsi,
(4) the philosophy of Sankhya, propounded by Kapila Rsi,
(5) the philosophy of Karma-MEMAMSA, propounded by Jaimini
Rsi, and
(6) the philosophy of Brahma-MEMAMSA, or Vedanta, the ultimate conclusion of the Absolute Truth (janmady asya yatah [SB 1.1.1]), propounded by Vedavyasa.

Now, regarding the MEMAMSA you asked, there are two of them, which are the 5th and 6th listed above.
Karma-MEMAMSA(5th) is all called as Purva MEMAMSA and Brahma-MEMAMSA(6th), or Vedanta is called as Uttara MEMAMSA.

Now, the difference between the two MEMAMSA, Purva & Uttara:-
5. Purva MEMAMSA. The gist of this system, taught by Jaimini, is that one attains perfection by performing sacrifices according to the Vedic injunctions.
6. Uttara MEMAMSA. This system is more commonly known as Vedanta, which means “the supreme end of knowledge.” Its writings were compiled by Vedavyasa, the guru of Jaimini. It has two branches. In one, devotion is the means to perfection. In the other, one realizes oneself by understanding the all-pervading, impersonal Absolute Truth.

Veda refers to all kinds of Vedic literature, such as the four Vedas (Rigg, Yajur, Sama and Atharva) and the eighteen Puranas, the Upanishads and the Vedanta-sutra.

Answer 2

Mimamsa is a Sanskrit word which means investigation. It represents a school of Indian philosophy. Mimansa deals with rules and regulations that one has to follow in the path of Dharma. The foundation of mimansa was laid by Maharshi Jaimini. Important proponents of this school are Kumarila Bhatta and Mahamahopadhya Chitradhar Mishra.

On the Border of India and Burma, lies the MEMASSA tribe. They are descendents of the Lost tribes of Israel...Manasseh.
Many of them have already migrated back to Israel.

Rabbi (sp?) Avecheil has gone there from Jerusalem and many other people to study them...and it makes alot of sense. He bleives they are Jews!! Especially considering all that is know about the journey the tribes began with out of Syria.

Answer 4

there are two Ideologies in Hindu religion, one is Darshan and the other one is Memansa, Memansa is the explanation of any particular Darshan. It describes why any Darshan is existing and what is the purpose of that particular Darshan.
