Abstract Growth, development & differentiation are 3 processes of enhancing life starting from Zygote up to an adult individual. In Ayurveda, all the three sequences included under Garbha vriddhi. Apart from maternal diet & regimen, epigenetic factor (Garbhakara bhava), specific nutrition (Upasneha, Upasweda), time (kala) & natural instinct (Swabhava samsiddhi) are the factors stressed by Acharya Charak. Kala or the time factor is svayambhu, remains unaffected and the science lucidly discussed it under Masanumasik Garbha vriddhi i.e. month wise development. Process starts from Kalala which understood as morula, followed by Ghana happened through appositional mechanism leads to formation of Neural tube, Sclerotome, Myotome, formation of limb bud, Dauhridini, development of Mana (intellect), presence or absence of Oja & timely delivery at 9th or 10th month is the overview of whole process. As stressed cellular differentiation, subsequent forming tissue, followed by development of organ & lastly organ system is also understood in different epoch of Masanumasik Garbha Vriddhi.
