@@zandrokos honestly I’ll say the expanse is on par with BSG and in some cases better . It’s one of the best shows up there you should definitely watch it at some point.
Yes there was a former Star Trek TNG director who was asked if he would be willing to do a reboot of the old one year series. He told a USC film studies class that it was just after 9/11when he saw the original pilot and he took the opening sequence as something like a 9/11 genre horror film. It was not so long after that he was willing to do it.
Growing up in the Himalayan tradition this song was a common prayer. I sing it to my children at night. When I heard it in the theme of BSG I was pleasantly surprised. Good to know grace and divinity is permeating into our culture even if subliminally.

@@sipsofhell9018 many reasons. 108 is considered holy number in Hinduism. There are many things of life considered tied to number 108 . Plz Google it. But for example, in Hindu astrology, there is 9 planets and 12 constellations. 9*12 equals 108
@@sipsofhell9018there are so many reasons for that in hinduism. So 108 is considered to be a holy number in hinduism. Sanskrit has 54 letters and and each letter is considered to have masculine (shiva) and feminine(energy) and if you multiply 54x2 you get 108. This is one of many reasons and instead of writing an essay here i would say that vedic cosmology which actually talks in great detail about universe origins, age of sun etc.. there is so much math and science in these texts and it is pretty old and even Carl Sagan has talked about a part of it in cosmos coz it goes in great detail about time and timescales etc among other things. As per vedic cosmology,108 is the basis of creation, represents the universe and all our existence.

my dad had this exact picture as our computer background when i was really young. it was always set in stone in my brain. today i just finished watching the series with him, and it's easily my favorite show of all time. it's so meaningful and deep. also, the story is realistic and, who knows, maybe our ancestors were actually cylons? this show makes you think. it's brilliant.

Did you mean SALUTATIONS or SALUTIONS, to the earth. SALUTIONS is not a word that I am familiar with. SALUTATIONS is a greeting which makes more sense in this context. Correct translations makes a big difference in meaning. Spelling is important.

So glad I came upon this video. I always wondered what the theme song to Battlestar Galactica was and it's so much more beautiful in sentiment and deep meaning than I thought! Kind of appropriate to the story of them searching for earth, their ancestor's home, through their sci fi version of fictional "scriptural" clues (not a Christian Bible). The music evokes emotion and a feeling of prayer and worship. I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and find this chant beautiful. Thanks for posting this, even if I found it here years late!
BSG, even in the original 70s incarnation, was based on Mormon theology somewhat. Glen Larson was LDS. In Mormon belief, God (the Heavenly Father) comes from a place called Kolob. Larson switched the letters around to come up with Kobol. Also the references to 12 colonies is Zodiacal in nature. But also in Mormonism, there is a council of Twelve Apostles who work within the church. No, I'm not Mormon, thought I gave it an 11-month trial run a few years back.
Alduin the Anti-Dragonborn i can imagine, but.. at least the show got an ending, like , most shows get cancelled these days, this one had a beginning and an end. so it makes up for the awkward ending for me. but i get you ;)
Saul Tigh Well you are right in that aspect. It is just season 4 was weird compared to the rest of the seasons. But thanks for understanding it from my point of view. However you are right that most shows do get canceled before they finish. And the makers of BSG were running low on their budget. They had to end it there, drive the show to its end. Before it meets the unfortunate fate of running into the sun like the fleet did, and being forever forgotten.
I was watching a Star Trek TNG episode called "Best of Both Worlds". When a scene came up where this modern space battleship captain happens to visit with a bar keeper and they candidly speak about the end of the Roman Empire and the end of civilization as they know it, I compared this as a 7th grader to BSG's companion book for the original series pilot. Seemed fitting at the time (not knowing of course a producer of that episode would end up being part of a successful reboot).
I thought that I recognized that chant! I was at the opening ceremony for the new Vihara in Ottawa, Canada, and the Buddhist monks sang this chant! Fantastic!
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)
Neetish kumar Maurya it is not copied.. The makers of BSG never said it is their original soundtrack and the only reason they used it because they respect this scripture and acknowledge it. So please stop spreading your Indian-Hindu propaganda, and grow up.
Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Suvaha Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt General meaning: We meditate on that most adored Supreme Lord, the creator, whose effulgence (divine light) illumines all realms (physical, mental and spiritual). May this divine light illumine our intellect. Word meaning: Om: The primeval sound; Bhur: the physical body/physical realm; Bhuvah: the life force/the mental realm Suvah: the soul/spiritual realm; Tat: That (God); Savitur: the Sun, Creator (source of all life); Vareñyam: adore; Bhargo: effulgence (divine light); Devasya: supreme Lord; Dheemahi: meditate; Dhiyo: the intellect; Yo: May this light; Nah: our; Prachodayāt: illumine/inspire
I didn't watch the newer BSG, I was a bit skeptical about it, mainly because I was such a huge fan of the original. I finally got to watch the whole series on Netflix and just fell in love with the series. Oh. My. Gods. I regret not watching it when it first aired (although I do remember seeing one episode, half of it anyway, when Tyrol, Saul, Anders, and Torri some to realize they are Cylons). From the original, Galactica 1980, I remember them introducing the Cylon-human types. If I recall, I was thinking that it was a sort of continuation from Galactica 1980. I love this show. Its been 10 years since the show first aired, only five since it ended. I hope they don't make that movie, it would ruin it. You cannot tell a story like this in only 90 minutes.
I almost did the same thing. I just decided to give it a try, and was hooked! I liked the way they didn't go completely high tech, like the old comm phones for example. Made it feel sort of old and tired, but thrust back into action.
Mr. Glen Larson said he had liked this version of BSG ; some of the storylines , characters , & effects were better than what he had & could do in the original.
Om Bhur Bhuvah Swah Tat-Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat. It's a Gayatri Mantra and taken from Rig Veda, the most ancient Book of Hinduism. Meaning:- We meditate on that most adored supreme lord, the creator, whose effulgence(divine light) illumines all realms (physical, mental and spiritual). May the divine light illumine our intellect.
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 !
@@leeworley6727 Yes and well,no. Everyone here has a very distinct purpose and theme; Baltar next to the Messenger Six fits as she is the divine(or carrying out the wishes of god) and he her prophet( he never stopped being a mess of a human being until he and Caprica Six saved Hera, and at the very end when he cried about ending up as a farmer and thought about his dad, I think) Roslin and Adama just gaze longingly at eachother( Adama as a judas works between those two as he was the deciding vote of Baltar's fate during his trial, Roslin felt betrayed.Vice versa works as well considering she is bearing a flame to her scriptures and Adama considers that a greater betrayal to herself given how her assumed role as prophet became so engrained to her identity) Saul stares at an empty chalice( we only see his eyepatch, he turned a blind eye to those like him and himself for what he did to Ellen, his wife. that chalice was meant for her) Lee is alone and deep in thought( he no longer wears a flight suit but a politicians garb, he has left behind his warrior nature and is now dedicated to leading what is left of human civilization to a better life) Tyrol staring at a knife( he is on edge and must come to terms with what he is and accept the changes that come with it. I think his story is the saddest of them all, and that's saying something.) The Rebel Six is angered and accusing Helo and Athena( the truly guilty casualties of their war, they both betrayed their sides for eachother, their daughter the proof, neither side could ever look at the world in black and white ever again and the rebel six died for that world, were it not for them and their love this war would have no victors nor anyone left) And finally(I know, i'm sorry) Kara and Anders, they seem alone, as if all their attention us on one another and no one else exists( it's not because of regret from unfaithful choices or last minute decisions, they are on time that only god could give Kara and Anders at the end became a Hybrid, more than what he was but less than human. What time they had was precious.)
+emb1emb1 It's beautiful! The series made me curious about it, so I did a bit of a research. The oldest attested religious language in the world! And the history teacher didn't even mention it. If I could choose my nationality again, I'd want to be either greek or, even better, form India...
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."
This chant is nothing but ancient vedic mantra called Gayatri Mantra. It's prayer of Sun , the Supreme Entity. It's most powerful mantra of Hindu Culture.
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.
BSG proves we are the same people. Distinct cultures and tongues. Same logic, same blood, same divinity that sparked our lives, whatever the source we are here on Earth as one.
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
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!! :)
David good point. How would you feel about trying to establish a connection between a Hogwarts style school and it being a thin veil over a martial arts camp.
This is actually the famous Gayatri Mantra from the ancient Rg Veda referring to the Divine Light. The central theme of Rg Veda [the world's oldest spiritual texts] is in fact the Divine Light [the Arya (noble) is one who unceasingly pursues the Light) - which was later to become the Atman, Cit (Pure Consciousness), Buddha Nature, Sophia (Cosmic Light of Wisdom - in Plato and Gnosticism), Holy Spirit, al haqq (The Reality in Sufism - mystical Islam). You may also like the Sanskrit Mantra which was used on Dominic West's documentary about his trip to the Kumbh Mela with his old Etonian friend Lord Mallinson - "West Meets East" on 029Sakura Channel on TH-cam which starts playing when Dominic enters the Ganges at 36 min 28 seconds. The mantra is called Karpur Gauram Karunavtaram Unfortunately, the full version by this lady is not on YT but a very similar version is on the Saregama Bhakti Channel under 'Power Shiv Mantra...Karpoor Gauram.....
The Gayatri mantra is a beautiful chant and has depth of meaning, and I'm glad they used it as the opening music for BSG, but as an Indian, I was wincing at the Sanskrit pronunciation all through. Couldn't they have made a better effort at trying to get it right, at least? :(
Rashmi Basu Everyone has an accent. The same way the way you think your English might sound perfect, but to a British or American it might sound weird and may ask you of the same thing. Getting my point? So please stop wincing on petty things as someone's accent and appreciate the music
I don't think she was whining lol, she was providing some valid points of criticism. She wasn't saying it was bad, just that there was room for improvement.
Rashmi Basu As a person who loves different culture, I think that's an awesome valid point, although those who are not familiar with the content still felt the weight of its sound intent
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!!!

Damian Wayne™ imagine this as the intro music to a mandalorian TV show but in mando language. That's the type of show we need. It should take place during the original trilogy era and show us what the mandalorians are up to during that time while being oppressed by the empire. They should come back as a warrior race they once were and contribute to the rebellion even though they ironically use to terrorize the galaxy. That would be a kick ass TV show. Maybe have it take place after RotJ and they could connect it to Boba's survival and have him get the drive to go back to his people and lead them to fight the remnants of the empire. And of course give it an adult theme with swearing, sex, blood, people getting blown up, game of thrones style, they are mandalorians after all. Just fan fiction thoughts, lol. I also typed this at 2 in the morning.
It sounds pretty deep! I can probably appreciate it more when it's not being played on my phone. My goodness, seeing the Mandalorians go up against the Empire would be incredible. Although I'd like this show to have very little to do with the Fetts. I've never looked at Jango as a true Mandalorian, and I know damn well that's been strongly hinted on throughout the years that he isn't. I can't imagine them accepting his son Boba (who's simply a knock-off clone) as a helping hand. But then again if they can assist both Maul and Kenobi then anything is possible. A show like this with blood, sex, and alcohol, bring it on.
Empire will regret it if they keep this warrior race under the bootheel Just like the wookies ( I'm still annoyed that the original idea to have return of the Jedi involve wookies in place of ewoks was cut )
I hope if the boba fett movie ever happens that they do bring in a Once Were Warriors feel, the idea of the fetts coming out of a proud warrior race, even if the fetts are into crime and bounty hunting
love this. I'm a Hindu and recite this prayer quite often but I wasn't able to identify it at first coz the pronunciation of the words are all very weird
Religion was always at the heart of bsg, old and new. The near extinction by their creation, the search for their mythical cousins, the evolution of each soul along the way. Overtone? Without it, there IS no journey. You are making the same journey, you simply use different labels.
Created directly from Mormonism. Lots of stuff connects from the faith to this show. There is literally an episode taken strictly out of the Book of Mormon.

But also in Mormonism, there is a council of Twelve Apostles who work within the church. No, I'm not Mormon, thought I gave it an 11-month trial run a few years back.
So say we all!!
This is not the BSG opening theme song. It's called Apocalypse and it's from the BGS movie called the plan.
This is the best show to ever exist.
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!
AND MEANWHILE A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY....
MrBrandybuck1120 yeah, well... for all we know, the Kobolians (?) could be runaway Republicans...
ya BSG ends 280,000 years pass, 2064 we have the beginning of Star Trek, 11,953 yrs later Sonic The Hedgehog's world (Mobius) Begins
There are quite a lot of terms in Star Trek and BSG that are quite common. So that may be possible haha
So does this mean Data marks the start of the cylons appearing again? lol
Television died when this show ended...best of all time!
So say we all.
Frak you, now you make me cry on my own hanger deck. lol You're right my BsG friend. TV never got the same after this GEM ! SSWA
The only thing I didn't like was the ending.
Alduin the Anti-Dragonborn
i can imagine, but.. at least the show got an ending, like , most shows get cancelled these days, this one had a beginning and an end. so it makes up for the awkward ending for me. but i get you ;)
Saul Tigh Well you are right in that aspect. It is just season 4 was weird compared to the rest of the seasons. But thanks for understanding it from my point of view. However you are right that most shows do get canceled before they finish. And the makers of BSG were running low on their budget. They had to end it there, drive the show to its end. Before it meets the unfortunate fate of running into the sun like the fleet did, and being forever forgotten.

A Gayatri Mantra for wallpaper made to resemble Michelangelo's "The Last Supper". The irony.
BSG is best rebbot tv ever
The first time a played this video, it gave me chills. You truly do get a powerful feeling listening to this Mantra!!!
I was watching a Star Trek TNG episode called "Best of Both Worlds". When a scene came up where this modern space battleship captain happens to visit with a bar keeper and they candidly speak about the end of the Roman Empire and the end of civilization as they know it, I compared this as a 7th grader to BSG's companion book for the original series pilot. Seemed fitting at the time (not knowing of course a producer of that episode would end up being part of a successful reboot).
I play this for my week-old son and it puts him right to sleep
I thought that I recognized that chant! I was at the opening ceremony for the new Vihara in Ottawa, Canada, and the Buddhist monks sang this chant! Fantastic!
nah its gayatri mantra
That's weird cuz this is an ancient sanskrit mantra.
@@Daniel-vd2ej yeah, u r correct, And Buddha himself used to chant this mantra, That's why Buddhist monk chanted it.
@@muditkhanna8164 right, and its still know to Buddhists
She is reciting Gayatri Mantra, most powerful Mantra from Rig Veda ❤️

It is the Gaytri mantra..Its the ancient indian mantra from the rigved text..
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)
PiyushKrack Too bad it is 100 % copied not original (sound track)
Neetish kumar Maurya I know it is gayatri mantra, but that's just lyrics the music the percussion is not. And as a whole it brings goosebumps on me.
Neetish kumar Maurya it is not copied.. The makers of BSG never said it is their original soundtrack and the only reason they used it because they respect this scripture and acknowledge it. So please stop spreading your Indian-Hindu propaganda, and grow up.
+Neetish kumar Maurya The orignal vocals are just flat. This just goose bumps with instruments
Much thanks in uploading. The Gayatri mantra is a very powerful mantra and made more powerful with a good compostion behind it.
Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Suvaha
Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt
General meaning: We meditate on that most adored Supreme Lord, the creator, whose effulgence (divine light) illumines all realms (physical, mental and spiritual). May this divine light illumine our intellect.
Word meaning: Om: The primeval sound; Bhur: the physical body/physical realm; Bhuvah: the life force/the mental realm Suvah: the soul/spiritual realm; Tat: That (God); Savitur: the Sun, Creator (source of all life); Vareñyam: adore; Bhargo: effulgence (divine light); Devasya: supreme Lord; Dheemahi: meditate; Dhiyo: the intellect; Yo: May this light; Nah: our; Prachodayāt: illumine/inspire
I didn't watch the newer BSG, I was a bit skeptical about it, mainly because I was such a huge fan of the original. I finally got to watch the whole series on Netflix and just fell in love with the series. Oh. My. Gods. I regret not watching it when it first aired (although I do remember seeing one episode, half of it anyway, when Tyrol, Saul, Anders, and Torri some to realize they are Cylons). From the original, Galactica 1980, I remember them introducing the Cylon-human types. If I recall, I was thinking that it was a sort of continuation from Galactica 1980. I love this show. Its been 10 years since the show first aired, only five since it ended. I hope they don't make that movie, it would ruin it. You cannot tell a story like this in only 90 minutes.
I almost did the same thing. I just decided to give it a try, and was hooked! I liked the way they didn't go completely high tech, like the old comm phones for example. Made it feel sort of old and tired, but thrust back into action.
Spoiler much?
Mr. Glen Larson said he had liked this version of BSG ; some of the storylines , characters , & effects were better than what he had & could do in the original.
2024 - Everything is old now and soon all of us will merge into the conciousness!
An important milestone on the ~140 year journey to convince people science fiction can be of high artistic value.
Om Bhur Bhuvah Swah Tat-Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat.
It's a Gayatri Mantra and taken from Rig Veda, the most ancient Book of Hinduism.
Meaning:- We meditate on that most adored supreme lord, the creator, whose effulgence(divine light) illumines all realms (physical, mental and spiritual). May the divine light illumine our intellect.
That's the one..
I am not sure...

@@SFbayplayway It's the most important one, so definitely you should, only if you like 😉
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'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 !

Godsdammit. The Galactica and fleet were the Ulster Scott’s of their time.
just noticed the cast are laid out in the pic in the exact same way as in Da Vinci's last supper painting? O_o
Dale Harrison exactly twelve of them too!
Which raises the question: Why is Adama in Judas' place?
@Stefano Pavone make more sense for baltar to be there.
@@leeworley6727 Yes and well,no. Everyone here has a very distinct purpose and theme; Baltar next to the Messenger Six fits as she is the divine(or carrying out the wishes of god) and he her prophet( he never stopped being a mess of a human being until he and Caprica Six saved Hera, and at the very end when he cried about ending up as a farmer and thought about his dad, I think) Roslin and Adama just gaze longingly at eachother( Adama as a judas works between those two as he was the deciding vote of Baltar's fate during his trial, Roslin felt betrayed.Vice versa works as well considering she is bearing a flame to her scriptures and Adama considers that a greater betrayal to herself given how her assumed role as prophet became so engrained to her identity) Saul stares at an empty chalice( we only see his eyepatch, he turned a blind eye to those like him and himself for what he did to Ellen, his wife. that chalice was meant for her) Lee is alone and deep in thought( he no longer wears a flight suit but a politicians garb, he has left behind his warrior nature and is now dedicated to leading what is left of human civilization to a better life) Tyrol staring at a knife( he is on edge and must come to terms with what he is and accept the changes that come with it. I think his story is the saddest of them all, and that's saying something.) The Rebel Six is angered and accusing Helo and Athena( the truly guilty casualties of their war, they both betrayed their sides for eachother, their daughter the proof, neither side could ever look at the world in black and white ever again and the rebel six died for that world, were it not for them and their love this war would have no victors nor anyone left) And finally(I know, i'm sorry) Kara and Anders, they seem alone, as if all their attention us on one another and no one else exists( it's not because of regret from unfaithful choices or last minute decisions, they are on time that only god could give Kara and Anders at the end became a Hybrid, more than what he was but less than human. What time they had was precious.)
OMG u are so right

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

Thank you thank you thank you. May all beings be happy and well. _!!_

this serie change my mind about the navy, for real XD
this is big mantra of hindu,I tell this 7 time every morning .
every morning ?

Om bhur bhuwashshaha taksya bidhur baranyium vargo deswasyadhimahi dhiyo yonaha pracho day at.

I'm listening to this on repeat.
I wish another show like this will be made in my lifetime...
SO SAY WE ALL, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
Wow, this sounds so ancient
+Pavle Runner It is. It's Sanskrit.
+emb1emb1 It's beautiful! The series made me curious about it, so I did a bit of a research. The oldest attested religious language in the world! And the history teacher didn't even mention it. If I could choose my nationality again, I'd want to be either greek or, even better, form India...
@@pavlerunner Yes Sanskrit is so so underrated.
Great music. Great show.
After Lost, this is my favourite show.
***** Totally. I loved TSCC theme. Actually I like it more than the theme of the movie.
I think he did stuff for The Walking Dead too.
***** I can't play them. It says "Not available in your country".
This is pure Wild Inner force... I LOVE this theme and let's say it: BOOMER IS GREAT 😍😎
Hehe I just noticed now the symbolism in this picture. The icon of the galactica forms a halo around six :)
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."
This chant is nothing but ancient vedic mantra called Gayatri Mantra. It's prayer of Sun , the Supreme Entity. It's most powerful mantra of Hindu Culture.
May be it's a Mantra of Kobol

Yes. See Wikipedia: Gayatri Mantra. Fascinating that they (Bear) chose this for the theme music.I get chills when I hear the opening theme.
I can listen it eternally!
It is in fact the famous Gayatri Mantra from Rg Veda and refers to the Eternal Light.
I love every syllable and every note of the intro
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.
Did you really mean 35000 BC or 3500 BC?
Lol, he meant 3500; it was just a mistyped extra 0. Hinduism was only formed after, with earliest proven evidence, 5500 BC.
@@justabeard3794 it even older than that
Still here in 2022. I’m a writer of SciFi and Speculative Fiction and often have this on repeat. Love this.
the best fiction comes from our reality
BSG proves we are the same people. Distinct cultures and tongues. Same logic, same blood, same divinity that sparked our lives, whatever the source we are here on Earth as one.
This is beautiful
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
Interesting theme song. It clearly connects with the series.
how the fuck does it do that?
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!! :)
Any specific Trek or Trek in general?
So say we all
Babylon 5 ?
David good point. How would you feel about trying to establish a connection between a Hogwarts style school and it being a thin veil over a martial arts camp.
Star trek is good but not as good as battlestar galactica
l'ultimo cena (last supper).. great poster and a wonderful chanting of Gayatri Mantra.
Das hoffen wir alle!!!!
this is such a powerful mantra given the context of the show
I fracking love this :D
This is actually the famous Gayatri Mantra from the ancient Rg Veda referring to the Divine Light. The central theme of Rg Veda [the world's oldest spiritual texts] is in fact the Divine Light [the Arya (noble) is one who unceasingly pursues the Light) - which was later to become the Atman, Cit (Pure Consciousness), Buddha Nature, Sophia (Cosmic Light of Wisdom - in Plato and Gnosticism), Holy Spirit, al haqq (The Reality in Sufism - mystical Islam).
You may also like the Sanskrit Mantra which was used on Dominic West's documentary about his trip to the Kumbh Mela with his old Etonian friend Lord Mallinson - "West Meets East" on 029Sakura Channel on TH-cam which starts playing when Dominic enters the Ganges at 36 min 28 seconds.
The mantra is called Karpur Gauram Karunavtaram
Unfortunately, the full version by this lady is not on YT but a very similar version is on the Saregama Bhakti Channel under 'Power Shiv Mantra...Karpoor Gauram.....
The Gayatri mantra is a beautiful chant and has depth of meaning, and I'm glad they used it as the opening music for BSG, but as an Indian, I was wincing at the Sanskrit pronunciation all through. Couldn't they have made a better effort at trying to get it right, at least? :(
Indeed!
Rashmi Basu Everyone has an accent. The same way the way you think your English might sound perfect, but to a British or American it might sound weird and may ask you of the same thing. Getting my point? So please stop wincing on petty things as someone's accent and appreciate the music
Abhishake Mitra Let people have opinions.
I don't think she was whining lol, she was providing some valid points of criticism. She wasn't saying it was bad, just that there was room for improvement.
Rashmi Basu
As a person who loves different culture, I think that's an awesome valid point, although those who are not familiar with the content still felt the weight of its sound intent
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!!!

Damian Wayne™ imagine this as the intro music to a mandalorian TV show but in mando language. That's the type of show we need. It should take place during the original trilogy era and show us what the mandalorians are up to during that time while being oppressed by the empire. They should come back as a warrior race they once were and contribute to the rebellion even though they ironically use to terrorize the galaxy. That would be a kick ass TV show. Maybe have it take place after RotJ and they could connect it to Boba's survival and have him get the drive to go back to his people and lead them to fight the remnants of the empire. And of course give it an adult theme with swearing, sex, blood, people getting blown up, game of thrones style, they are mandalorians after all. Just fan fiction thoughts, lol. I also typed this at 2 in the morning.
It sounds pretty deep! I can probably appreciate it more when it's not being played on my phone. My goodness, seeing the Mandalorians go up against the Empire would be incredible. Although I'd like this show to have very little to do with the Fetts. I've never looked at Jango as a true Mandalorian, and I know damn well that's been strongly hinted on throughout the years that he isn't. I can't imagine them accepting his son Boba (who's simply a knock-off clone) as a helping hand. But then again if they can assist both Maul and Kenobi then anything is possible. A show like this with blood, sex, and alcohol, bring it on.
Empire will regret it if they keep this warrior race under the bootheel
Just like the wookies ( I'm still annoyed that the original idea to have return of the Jedi involve wookies in place of ewoks was cut )
I hope if the boba fett movie ever happens that they do bring in a Once Were Warriors feel, the idea of the fetts coming out of a proud warrior race, even if the fetts are into crime and bounty hunting

My thought process when playing Mass Effect 3 and teaming up with the Quarian Flotilla
Basically alien BSG
Religion was always at the heart of bsg, old and new. The near extinction by their creation, the search for their mythical cousins, the evolution of each soul along the way. Overtone? Without it, there IS no journey. You are making the same journey, you simply use different labels.
Created directly from Mormonism. Lots of stuff connects from the faith to this show. There is literally an episode taken strictly out of the Book of Mormon.
Bro hindu is not a religion it is a way of life because it is sanatan dharm means eternal way of living in life. It is a hindu devotional music.
