Sacha Kiriya +

A power with the Buddhists akin to a magic mantram with the Brahmans. It is a miraculous energy which can be exercised by any adept, whether priest or layman, and “most efficient when accompanied by ''bhâwanâ'' ” (meditation). It consists in a recitation of one’s “acts of merit done either in this or some former birth” — as the Rev. Mr. Hardy thinks and puts it, but in reality it depends on the intensity of one’s will, added to an absolute faith in one’s own powers, whether of yoga — willing — or of prayer, as in the case of Mussulmans and Christians. Sacha means “true”, and ''Kiriyang'', “action”. It is the ''power of merit'', or of a saintly life. [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Sacramento Daily Record-Union, The +

The birth of this storied newspaper institution began in 1851 when the city of Sacramento was in its infancy. Under the direction of its first editor, Dr. John F. Morse, who had attracted proprietors through letters to the New Orleans Delta and well-known literary attainments, The Union was initially printed as The Daily Union on Wednesday, March 19, 1851. Upon the front page of this 23-inch by 34-inch paper, Morse addressed the readers of The Union, committing to “publish the first news in the best style and at the lowest prices” and “to have an efficient correspondent in every important town and mining region in the state.” The Sacramento Publishing Co. purchased the Sacramento Daily Union, as it was then known, and the Daily Record in 1875, and merged them into one newspaper, calling it the Sacramento Daily Record-Union – a name that was later dropped.
