BSG full opening music 

Best SciFi show ever. period.

This show changed my life.

Gayatri mantra is truly beautiful

How they kept the count of survivors in the credits was genius. You keep reminding who's gone after the fleet hardest times (like the gap between how many they were when they settled on New Caprica and how many they were when they escaped. Around a thousand lost i if recall)

The meaning of this mantra is so deep, it is easily misunderstood and wrongly translated... My take: oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ = radiating, being, was = attributes of aka pointing to, the triple universe itself, svaḥ tát savitúr váreniyaṃ = all that worthiest SOURCE, bhárgo devásya dhīmahi = insight into its shining truth, dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt = enhances us into Enlightenment; Summing to: "Oh, triple expanding Universe, that worthiest source (of Dharma), offering an insight into the shiniest truth, that drives us to ultimate Enlightenment!" basically a homage or hymn to the Universe itself, that advances us by teaching into higher understanding and being... So Wonderful!

So say we all...

SO SING WE ALL!

Gayatri Mantra: Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ tát savitúr váreṇ(i)yaṃ bhárgo devásya dhīmahi dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt "O Divine mother, our hearts are filled with darkness. Please make this darkness distant from us and promote illumination within us."

I like to think that, Galactica arrive to earth, BSG Ending, blabla, 280 000 years pass, 2064 Zefram Cochrane invent warp drive, welcome to star trek!

How much I loved this series..... this sound is making me so nostalgic that I've tears in my eyes. "The" Greatest series ever made..(going back in my hard drive library to find the BSG complete season)

Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥ Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt

I didn't believe my cousin at first but then I listened to this... wow, they really did use the Gayatri Mantra? Kudos from India

i wish this and all the other Bsg music was on spotify

I've been watching this show(still the best tv show I've ever watched) rerun on comet. Anyway I could swear I hear them say "Laura Roslin" in the song and some other stuff I sometimes think I hear and other times I don't. I'm sure it's the chant everyone says it is, but go listen to it when the show starts, listen for them say the president of the 12 colonies name. Once you here it, you'll hear it every time after !

This is pure Wild Inner force... I LOVE this theme and let's say it: BOOMER IS GREAT 😍😎

A literal translation of the Gayatri verse proper can be given as: "May we attain that excellent glory of Savitar the god: So may he stimulate our prayers." Other free translations: "We meditate on the glory of that Being who has produced this universe; may He enlighten our minds." "We meditate on the effulgent glory of the divine Light; may he inspire our understanding."

An important milestone on the ~140 year journey to convince people science fiction can be of high artistic value.

this serie change my mind about the navy, for real XD

So say we all... Are we still alive here in 2020 ?

I could listen to this all day long #Bear rocks

Still a fan in 2022.

This Hymn from the oldest literature Rigveda fits well here. Because this hymn is very scientific. Also the composer of this oldest book is unknown. Composed around 35000-5000 BC in Sanskrit language.

I've changed my mind about the reboot, I like it, based on this

Thumbs up!, Just going through the 10 year anniversary replay now ;

Thank you very much for uploading. great stuff. I am a big fan of the show and there are a couple of songs i wish i could sing along as good as i know the scripts of the show. Like kobol's last gleaming, this one, and a distant Sadness... thumbs up

So much darkness, so much power and so much honour (perfect wallpaper btw)

Apart from Star Trek Battlestar Galactica is one of the best tv series I have ever watched I fucking love it I don't care what anyone say's :) both the old one and the new fucking awesome!! :)

Interesting theme song. It clearly connects with the series.

Om Bhur Bhuvah Svaha Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Diimahi Diyoyonah Prachodayatt. Everything on earth, in between and above Is arising from one effulgent source. If my thoughts, words and deeds reflected this complete understanding of unity, I would be the peace I am seeking in this moment

This should be the theme for another BSG movie, where the Centurions they let free evolved into lifeforms again, and amidst another cylon war

yeah it stirs the soul and it is very appropriate for galactica....the ironic thing is that the machines are monotheistic and the humans are polytheistic...fascinating!! i love this show on many levels!! i hope sci-fi does something with the battlestar galactica blood and chrome series!!!

50 fracking toasters

Thank you so much for the lyric and translation.😄

I actully loved this song the rock and the choir everything

It was played during the ending credits of the plan, and a version of this chant was played during the opening credits most of the episode

I love how this Hindu chant is monotheistic in lyrics (Brahma). It was Cylon all along.

2/2024: Just revisited all 4 seasons again… I mean, All this has happened before, and all this will happen again, so say we all!

I LOVE THIS MUSIC

22' So say we all!

I think you are totally correct

So say we all!!!

I can't wait to see the new battle star Galactica movie in 2020 and I hope they play this song at the beginning of the movie and at the end of the movie

WE WILL SURVIVE THIS! THE GODS OF KOBOL ARE AMONG US!

Gayatri mantra is powerful . power of Gayatri mantra

this is great ....so say we all !

So say we all 2024 💪

Should... Should we talk about the fragile body of Gaius Baltar?

who ever doesn't watch this show is a fraking cylon!

this is a gayatry mantra... an ancient indian/oriental mantra

No this is not the version the version that is featured at the beginning of every episode. The name of this song is called Apocalypse and it IS the theme from The Plan. I should know seeing as how I have EVERY soundtrack from Battlestar Galactica.

The name of this piece is 'Apocalypse'

We are still alive in 2022!

As much as I like this, since its the most important sanskrit mantra, it technically shouldn't be recited at night, since it asks for "the light of the sun to enter the soul" doing it at night does the opposite apparently. I don't know if tht includes listening to it. Well if you believe in ancient meditative power anyway.

LOVE IT. thanks.

In the ancient indo european language; of Sanskrit. Perhaps we should add this to the curriculum along with the Iranian, Indians greeks. and germanic lanugages. we are all sprung from a common linguistice tree: Sanskrit

thanks

Gayatri Mantra 🥺🚩🙏

2023!!!!

Checking in. 2024? How are we faring?

its gayatri mantra om bhu bhuvah swah tasyavitur varenyam bhargo devasya dheemahi dhiyoyonaah prachodayat

Do yourself a favor and check out the two-part, three-hour miniseries that introduced the show.

Hinduism. =)

This is the Gayatri Mantra

BSG rlz...

BSG -> Star trek imo.

2024 reporting in still alive so say we all!

So say we all

LOVE IT!

sanscrit FTW!

Oh! It is not until now that I see what the picture resembles XD

With AI advancing like it is... this may become a very real story. Alert condition 1 throughout the ship.

an angel :)

I was here

I like the Season 1 OP music more ... Can't get warm with the season 2 one (are parts of this song used for everything post-season? I am at season 2 now, fyeah german tv)

Eso decimos todos en 2024

Seriously, they should have dropped the religious overtones with this show and went with a more purely Sci-Fi theme. I mean, don't get me wrong, this was an awesome show, but somehow the religious stuff seemed to pull the series back from the brink of true greatness. I mean the whole "this has all happened before" stuff took away from the mystery. Then there was the issue of finding two earths, the destruction of all of their advanced tech, etc etc. It also added in an air of redundancy. If they already knew what was going to happen, why destroy their tech, ships etc if they knew that these humans would one day build their own AI servants who would rebel and start the cycle over again? Wouldn't it have made MORE sense to settle on the new earth and begin actually rebuilding their society with the knowledge of what NOT to do? Battlestar was awesome, but too many plot holes really set it back from attaining legendary status (IE Star Trek, Stargate, Babylon 5) and ending up more as a filler for the bin of what could have been. Also, Dr. Baltar, most annoying character....EVER.

This out classes the original theme of bsg.

I really can’t compared this music to the original theme song, it’s so different and unique it just stands alone, the original was magnificent, and this one is so unique, it’s amazing in it’s own right, bravo.2024

2020?

*So say we all in 2024*

by your command...

The very first "Om" is missing from the very beginning.

I give like on the Brasil.

Kadında ne ciğer var öyle tek nefeste kaptırıp gidiyor...

What's stupid is that literally every torrent of BSG - even the Netflix broadcast version - utterly cuts out the Sanskrit mantra. I demand to know why. It ruins the entire intro sequence cutting the song out.

Any 2022 hear

so say we all m8!

Someone know wft she is talking about ?

Does anyone know why neither B+C nor the reimagined series have online downloads???>

We must have been watching different BSGs, because this is not the music that I was listening to.

@Brandon Wray In a way it would match up...

The singer sounds very good, but in my opinion, the original theme is VASTLY SUPERIOR.

What do you hear ?

Wikipedia is simply citing the interpretations of well-known Vedic scholars, and its on their authority that I have made my comment. None of the scholars cited there gives a literal translation, and yet none has translated it along the lines of Mr. Shankey. Anyway, I can only defer to their interpretations since I am not a scholar of the Vedas. It is, nevertheless, good to know what the mantra means literally before judging the more paraphrastic interpretations.

not really coz they want to show that our world and bsg's worls are related (hence all the greek gods etc, they using a real prayer adds to the feeling imho)

Who is the artist of this version? I would love to have the mantra to listen to.

Caden Stravenue

I don't know it seemed extremely forced to do it that way. If I was around for that I would of headed back home and setup shop in the freshly fixed up and cleaned original colonies..

The last day of the 12 colonies of Kobal....

I love this alot.
