Warm greetings and welcome. Like the past issues, this latest June 2023 edition of Taj Mahal Review is an humble attempt to publish remarkable and beautiful poems, short stories and haiku by authors from several countries. I have tried to include only those writings that have imaginative power and depth of feeling.  For many years I edited the international journal, standing up in the face of all obstacles, and have tried my best to find ‘great moment’  through the medium of poetry. Some day the world will awake and understand the sanctifying power of great poetry. For example, we may take Samuel Johnson’s following highly inspiring lines: Still raise for good the supplicating voice,  But leave to heaven the measure and the choice.  Safe in his pow’r, whose eyes discern afar  The secret ambush of a specious pray’r. All readers will certainly like the following sober, chaste and truly wonderful lines by the famous poet S. T. Coleridge: He prayeth best who loveth best All things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all. I feel quite obliged and grateful to all authors published in this edition of TMR. Without their kind and generous cooperation it is not possible to publish TMR. Thanks again.
Best Wishes
