Abstract
Drawing on philosophy, religion, spirituality and Indian Aesthetics, this paper explores the power of love and faith, on which human existence depends. Poetry is an attempt to awaken mutual understanding, and then bring concord to human relations. The paper asserts that haiku poems of Prof. Rajkamal Shiromani confirm the faith in a meaningful cosmos and the power of love. These haiku poems strictly followed in 5-7-5 syllable format of Japanese Prosody are based upon the principle of humanity. They have a unique ability to transcend the limitations of language and of logic. They compel the reader to participate in creating the poem
