From what I've read it was Eddie Olmos who suggested this mantra for the theme tune for BSG. It was so for the UK from season 1 onwards. The suits in the US bottled it because it was "Too weird" for season 1 in the US but adopted it for season 2 when they saw is was popular. I bought the complete box set for BSG in blu-ray only to discover that season 1 has the US theme. It quite spolied my day and I never play it, instead playing my UK version on DVD.
The wonderful theme song actually increases the coolness and mystery of BSG by NOT being "Greek" ... by hinting that human religion was MORE than the "greek" aspects ... but mostly all we're shown are the "greek" aspects, yes. No, Cylon Six didn't 'plan or instigate' their jihad. :) The BSG series is spooky and beautiful in how it reveals that they were ALL pawns in a cosmic epic: Cavil was as much a pawn in unfolding the Divine scheme as everyone else was.
The Divine Light was the central theme of Rg Veda - usually symbolized as Agni - the Divine Fire withing our 'hearts'. The 'arya' of Rg Veda was actually one who unceasingly pursues the LIght. The metaphorical symbolism of Rg Veda became conceptualized in the Upanisads [which as the likes of Joseph Campbell and Thomas McEvilley have noted was actually the world's first true conceptual Philosophy] where the Light became the cit (Pure Consciousness) or the Atman [the impersonal consciousness/spirit within us which is one with the universal/cosmic consciousness/spirit (Brahman) - the famous Doctrine of Atman/Brahman - which is the central core of all Hindu Philosophy. The Upanisads also asserted that the Atman is also the Prana [life energy] into which the egoic consciousness dissolves in Dreamless Sleep and in Death. Lifelong Advaita Vedanta advocate Erwin Schrodinger called the doctrine of Atman-Brahman the Grandest thought ever put forward by humans. In fact, it is not a mere 'thought' but a fact of mystical realization that has been confirmed in many other traditions and by modern psychedelic researchers using LSD etc. I have actually identified the physical correlate of this Inner (Divine) Light of Pure Consciousness with the brainwaves of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) - the brainwaves from the brainstem Reticular Formation which constantly flow throughout the whole brain underlying all other brainwave activity. The cessation of the RAS is what constitutes braindeath. The phenomenological knowledge from the most authoritative Hindu and Buddhist yogic traditions as well as knowedge from Western esoteric and modern phenomenology fit perfectly with this correlation - as you can see in my book 'The Brainstem Brainwaves of Atman-Brahman: The Synthesis of Science and Spirituality'.
The main part of "Apocalypse", the nuking theme, is at 1:25 of this song, just with the mantra over it. The film had an extended version of the theme with the bridge (at 2:41) played several times. I hope the soundtrack has the whole version of Apocalypse as it appeared on the film, as well as this one.
This song is available on piratebay. The movie was really powerful, much more so than I expected. BSG will always be one of the best science fiction shows ever produced.
I love this version of the song. It's amazing! Just saw the film last night and was blown away. I thought watching Caprica for background was good, but The Plan sheds light on so many things that happen during the series!! :P
Starbuck was an Angel not a Ghost. We saw an Angel Blazing with the Light of God. Thus shall it come to pass. A dying leader will know the truth of the Opera House. The missing Three will give you the Five who come from the home of the Thirteenth. You are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace. You will lead them all to their end. End of line.
@lykan21 Actually, I do remember Roslyn having those visions and yes, they were mystical, but the part about Starbuck coming back as an angel was really pushing it. But introspective, I now understand that it is open to interpretation, so anyone can think and decide for themselves and I respect the show's writers for that. :)
Here's the kicker. All humans came from Kobol, so all pre-cylons. Humans + cylons can produce babies. Babies that are both human and cylon. Now, imagine on Kobol the 13th tribe and the humans there frakked and had kids. Which means that quite a few humans on the 12 colonies have a distant, distant cylon potential bloodline. Would explain some getting visions and other stuff alike, which was a thing exclusive to the cylons by the way the show presents it.
So Say, We All!❤️ Tricia Helfer "IS" 6.. Caprica. Stunning, Beautiful, Intelligent and Deadly Lady, and her true mate.. Baltar.. ❤️ Lust and Love Eternal. A couple that perfectly deserve each other.
There is a vedic concept of multiverse. Earth(bhu), bhuvah (space 1), swaha(space 2) are 3 of them. Om is like the total vibration or sound of the universe. So the hymn begins by naming them.
@ Amitshetty1986: Thank you. I have always loved the opening track to BSG (new) but have never admitted it :) Now I don't feel so bad when I listen to it and get a lump in my throat :D
I can't believe some did not enjoy this movie. I liked that they opened up the Simon model character and that not all his model were cold and void of of human emotions. I am surprised of the T&A this movie has now I can't show this to my 12 yrd cousin.
@uuu64 To be fair, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" I felt the ending was probably as strong as they could make it... they did paint themselves into a corner, in a sense, with the various head-people. But at the same time, it's usually the case that questions are more interesting than answers. IMO they did a fairly good job tying up the questions they could, but at least still leaving it fairly open.
@uuu64 You make a good point about the possibility of BSG being fantasy as opposed to sci-fi because of those virtual beings and Starbuck coming back as an angel. WTF?!? This show has always prided itself on its emphasis on gritty realism and hard sci-fi. But with all these virtual beings popping up, as well as Starbuck returning as an angel was getting ridiculous. But I came up with a plausible explanation: after Starbuck "die" everybody was smoking pot and hallucinated that she came back. LOL!
Gayatry Mantra: Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ tát savitúr váreṇ(i)yaṃ bhárgo devásya dhīmahi dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt The only thing is that the singer does not pronounces it right: the h should be pronounceh as in house, the end h should be a soft "ha". It is a very beautiful mantra. Nevertheless, i love this rendition too.
Wow this reminds me of the music in 300. I love this version of the main theme. Bear McCreary should release this song. Oh and it's called "Apocalypse".
@ncs2000 actually after looking at a much larger picture, it is a Six. Her hair looked extremely similar to D'anna (Three), which was curled the same way and the same color.
The song is indeed sung in Sanskrit. But the lyrics itself is the Gayatri Mantra, a highly revered prayer mantra in Hinduism. Random fact of the day for all. =D
The "Apocalypse" theme in the beginning, and this closing theme, might be Bear McCreary's finest work on the series. Unfortunately, it was the best thing about "The Plan."
I just noticed....there's no Judas figure in this? It should be Baltar, but he's in the same place as John (Mary Magdelen for the Da Vinci Coders out there). There's only the empty cup in his place. Even after all these years, it still makes me wonder...
constanza86 I think that it's held open for all of us. We betray our potential and squander our time on meaningless things. Got to admit - I love the music. There's a feel to it that goes right to the bones. Perhaps the phrases, "Omnia illa et ante fiebant omnia illa et rursus fient Ita dicimus omnnes" are exactly right?
"Omnia illa et ante fiebant omnia illa et rursus fient Ita dicimus omnnes" it's from "Kobol's Last Gleaming" and yes it is strong. For "Apocalyps" it is "OM bhur bhuvah svahah Tat savitur varenyam Bhargo devasya dhimahi Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat" Which are very wise words i try too live by. The thing about Ellen just came to me while i was reading your comment and i think it fits well in situation.
constanza86 But I just can't see her as the deceiver. She might fail, but she failed while doing her best for the best. I think I have another good nominee for the spot - Cavil.
There are some hypothesis that Judas was one of the most trusted Jesus followers and what he did was on orders from Jesus himself. Mind you BSG explore all aspecs of religulous believes, not just what is most popular interpretation.
@Eraser2G The song is in Sanskrit (did I spell it right?) It translation in English is: (From battlestar wiki) Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life, Remover of pain and sorrow, The Bestower of happiness, Oh! Creator of the Universe, May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light, May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.
Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life, Remover of pain and sorrow, The Bestower of happiness, Oh! Creator of the Universe, May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light, May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.
Part 3 ... Some play their roles through their FAITH, others play their role through their EGOTISM or DOUBT or CYNICISM. They all work towards the Divine will, it seems. They all dance to the Divine Will, even having their Free Will.
Well, I can't comment on the quality of their Sanskrit (hey, their Jimi Hendrix wasn't all that great either, except as a mindblower) ... but it's a haunting song, a cultural tribute to Sanskrit at least -- and EERIE as hell, when you fuse it with the idea of the Cylons being off on their religious jihad against God's fallen humans (or, their own misguided jihad in God's name. Funny how becoming HUMAN meant falling into the same human errors and pits, wasn't it?)! BSG was genius, imo.
I usually try not to think about how movies could have been better, but in this case I think the writers chose the wrong time period to tell the story. Before the attack there is still a story to tell, where as the events after the miniseries have already been seen from two angles. (Galactica and Pegasus.) But that's okay. It was fun to watch.
There were a lot of things that would have been nice to see. Like more of Earth and the 13th Tribe, and what happened there, or when the Five got to the colonies, and how they met up with the centurions, made the skinjobs and ressurrection, and everything you mentioned. Can't get everything unfortunately. :-(
On the other hand, Six repeatedly speaks about her faith in God's plan and the Cylons' divine mission ... and SHE'S still around at the end, after Cavil (?) has cynically commited suicide after his own grandiose 'plans" have been proven empty and doomed. The point may be that the Cylons are as capable of feeling both true spirituality AND cynical egocentrism as humans are! The song is still utterly cool, and BSG forever an amazing sci-fi trip!!!

Bear McCreary is not human, there is no way he can produce such epic compositions all the way through.
From what I've read it was Eddie Olmos who suggested this mantra for the theme tune for BSG. It was so for the UK from season 1 onwards. The suits in the US bottled it because it was "Too weird" for season 1 in the US but adopted it for season 2 when they saw is was popular. I bought the complete box set for BSG in blu-ray only to discover that season 1 has the US theme. It quite spolied my day and I never play it, instead playing my UK version on DVD.
I think a Battlestar marathon is in order now.

Just saw the film last night and was blown away. I thought watching Caprica for background was good, but The Plan sheds light on so many things that happen during the series!! :P
I was expecting something more esoteric and divine to be honest. Transmutation of rational mech with divine power continues to fascinate me
The movie could have been better, but holy shit this theme song!
Just finished watching the film and was pretty taken back by this version of the song. It is absolutely incredible.
Its sanskrit, Insanely older than Latin.
Starbuck was an Angel not a Ghost.
We saw an Angel Blazing with the Light of God.

Everyone said by season 3 and 4 it got weird but it was just as action packed, emotional and entertaining as its season 1 and 2 counterparts lol
the only wierd thing are the few episodes before the finale.
absolutley beautifull words cannot describe made me tear up a little
Amazing track - so poignant following the end of "The Plan" - beautiful and profound.
Love this. The main title theme with a Cylon twist. Hope they release a CD
An awesome show and an awesome track. I personally think it sounds really cool at 1.5 speed.
Well according to BSG we are part cylon ;)
Here's the kicker. All humans came from Kobol, so all pre-cylons. Humans + cylons can produce babies. Babies that are both human and cylon.

They'd switch between images of her and scenes of the destruction

Sir, this entire track was most magnificent. We bow to the epicness, although I still hold my breath for the music of the destruction of the colonies.
