"The four chapbooks collected in A Peculiar Feeling of Restlessness, three of them finalists and one of them the winner of the Rose Metal Press first annual short short chapbook contest, all revel in the succinctness of their form, the underlying tension anchored beneath each story of 1,000 words or less. These stories are peculiar; they resonate with restlessness. They are deft, they are gritty, and they are lyrical."--BOOK JACKET.

The "Voice Real" is the knowledge received as vibrations by an enlightened being through superconscious perception. Those subtle vibrations are perceived when all other voices are stilled. Ram Chandra received these vibrations, known as shruti in Yoga, as a constant flow of inspiration throughout his life. As a result, his original research in the field of spirituality defines the current era. In these two volumes of Voice Real, we find excerpts from some of his letters, articles and discourses. They offer simple, elegant explanations of very high spiritual concepts that are accessible to everyone. They provide an incomparable atlas of the inner world. Ram Chandra continues to touch and awaken so many hearts, not just in his writings, but also in a very practical way, through a set of heart-based meditation practices supported by yogic Transmission or Pranahuti. His intense love and generosity to share this wisdom with all humanity defines the Heartfulness Movement.

"No one seems to be happy with the present. That loathing of the present is understandable. The present moment, in modern life, is hard to love, or even to grasp. For the modern present is a state of constant motion. Perpetual moral, social, and psychic revolution is the price we pay for our unprecedented liberty, equality, and prosperity. Though we rightly prize those great political goods, having our world turned upside down every morning makes us all of us uneasy and some of us miserable. We exacerbate our unease by our failure to recognize it. With our ritual insistence that we are perfectly content to "go with the flow," we deny even the existence of our disquiet. We refuse to see what time it is, and we refuse to see ourselves"--
