Time is witness for the evolution and all sort of transformation. The creation of life, the aging process we undergo, the ripening of a fruit, the changes of season, the evolution of past, present &future everything is under the control of time. Time is eternal, self manifested and responsible for transformation of life and death. All the activities taking place in the world are under the control of time. The rhythm of life on earth is shaped by seasonal &diurnal changes in the environment. Plants and animals show profound annual cycles in physiology, morphology, behavior and demography in response to environmental cues. Seasonal biology impacts ecosystems and agriculture with consequences for human health &disease and biodiversity. Seasonal as well as diurnal rhythm play significant role for the coordination of physiological, immunological and behavioral process. Hence understanding seasonal biology for biomedical perspective is the need of hour to prevent many contemporary global health issues. Epidemiologic triad consists of agent, host and environmental factors interrelate in a variety of complex ways to produce disease. Ayurveda broadly depicts the concept of Kala and its unavoidable &irreversible effect towards various physiological, pathological and immune functions. Need of understanding the biodiversity as one of the vital health determinants and adaptation of preventive and therapeutic measure accordingly and consideration of time factor has been emphasized in Ayurvedic classics. A study has been made by the author to explore the role of Kala (time factor) to understand the rhythm of life in response to patho physiological phenomena.
