Increased awareness about Ayurveda and the need of Ayurveda in present society demands to understand its scope in role of immunity along with its dysfunction. Ojas is the essence present in every tissue starting from Rasa to Shukra and it is the purest substance which is omnipresent in human being. According to Ayurveda Ojas is the Dhaari as it is important in bringing about coordination among all factors responsible for sustaining life. So that its diminution leads to the cessation of life. Ojas is having the synonyms of Prana and Bala which inturn indicate the properties of Para and Apara ojas respectively. Para ojas is responsible for the life and there is no change in the form. Bala implies the physical, mental, immunological and spiritual strength. Various authors have mentioned the concept of Ojas in their own way so that there exists a controversy. In this review article I made an attempt to understand the Ojas in terms of Kriyakala so that it will be helpful in the purpose of treatment and preventive aspects.Keywords: Ojas, Ayurveda, Kriyakala
