Abstract

Ayurveda is a deep science with Adhyatama and also a darshan itself, so for proper health in which mental and physical well-being are involved, various factors are included, and Kala is one of them. Indication by the word Kala (time) represents an appropriate time to do a particular thing. According to conventional medical science, there is a lapse of an interval between two non-simultaneous occurrences; that interval is defined as time. Kala(time) is 'Bhagavan,' having neither a beginning nor an end. In this universe, everything is constantly changing. The change from an earlier condition to its succeeding condition is called Kala (time) or, in other words, 'Parinama.' Ayurveda, a holistic science of longevity, describes Kala(time) as Karana Dravya as it is the cause for the birth and death of all living beings, for the disorders and excellence of the seasons, properties of substances such as taste and potency, the disorders or excellence of strength of Dosha and the body. Kala is the unique and specific causative factor of all types of effects, at the same time; it is unavoidable. That is why Ayurveda, being the science of life, gives emphasis to the concept of Kala.
