About - Mimamsa Yogshala
Reflection & Revered Thought in the Heart of Rishikesh
Welcome to Mimamsa Yogashala
Mimamsa in Sanskrit means “reflection” or “revered thought”. It is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, called the six darshans (perspectives on the physical and nonphysical world).
Believed to be the oldest of them, Mimamsa provides rules for interpreting early Hindu scriptures and offers a philosophical rationale for observing Vedic rituals. Our goal is enlightenment about dharma, leading a healthy and meaningful life supported by the knowledge of the Vedas.
The Mimamsa school postulates that everything in the universe comes into existence via natural processes. We guide practitioners to observe these natural processes within the self through disciplined yoga and meditation.

From Root to Flower
Yogi Manoj does not teach a style he invented — he carries a living tradition, received teacher to student. A spiritual tradition is not made; it is nurtured and passed on.
Swami Sivananda Saraswati
A physician turned sage of Rishikesh and founder of the Divine Life Society, whose teaching of “Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realize” became the soil from which this entire lineage grew.
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
A direct disciple of Swami Sivananda who founded the Bihar School of Yoga, systematising the ancient teachings into a complete path and carrying them to the wider world.
Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
Successor to Swami Satyananda, who preserved the purity of the tradition and extended its reach, keeping the teaching alive and accessible for a new generation of seekers.
Yogi Manoj & his students
Shaped by the Bihar School of Yoga tradition, Yogi Manoj founded Mimamsa Yogshala in Rishikesh. Through him and the students who graduate here, the lineage flowers again — in studios across the world.
