[ploplisphilin]

Well, at least we know what inspired the Coneheads' skull shapes.

[injamaven]

this looks stupid. Is he making fun?

[Nitaydas]

Naif... The Modern Dance is naif... Just an insult for the millenary tradition of The Natyasastra, Toltecáyotl and Eleussis Misteries...

Lol its nothing like Shiva Tandav which is incredibly powerful and impressive.

[yelloworangered]

Wonderful! I love the way that she used the capabilities of film to make that bat entrance and transformation!

[weykapuy]

I think it's nice and advanced to the 20's

[tigrismus]

You guys realize this was from the 1920's, right? Modern dance was still fairly new, and the world was not as interconnected as now, so don't judge too harshly.

I am a devotee of Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami and love the monastery. However, when I saw this video, I was disgusted.

@pranavananda09 this is what the west thinks of shiva

[kumarsa108]

@Shanniquitie No, this was what someone from the west limited interpretation was.
