Post 2/2
2. No one else disturbed by the fact that the speaker was offended that "Nataraja bronzes" were sold for just a few millions while some western art - which the speaker didn't admire - sold for hundreds of millions? I.e. the speaker was offended that (presumably) aliens didn't sufficiently admire the [superiority of] the Hindu works of so-called "art".
Yet anyone *Hindu* would have objected to Nataraja imagery being sold as keepsakes at all - and worse to *aliens* (or at best, to the deHinduised) most likely: because who else but "art collectors" would be buying these things for such grand figures as if it were but an acquisition hobby to them?
All Nataraja vigrahas (when made by Hindus alone, the rest are not Nataraja depictions - and only pretence - no matter who claims otherwise) - all Hindu-made imagery of Hindu Gods belong to the Hindoos' Gods alone, and hence to their heathen Hindus alone. No one else has the right to keep vigrahas of Hindu Gods.* This isn't art. And these aren't heirlooms either.
[* Should emulate how China does not allow other countries to keep its Pandas: they're all planned to be returned to China.]
What's not clear from the video is whether the Nataraja bronze that went for millions is an ancient one or made in our time. I.e. whether such pieces were ancient Hindu sculptures being stolen from Hindu Bharatam to become some art collector (or museum's) possession. This is theft and anti-Hindu. (And selling of modern Hindu-made Natarajas to aliens' hands is still anti-Hindu.)
1 and 2 was enough to make me stop watching the video: taken together it is far worse than a certain Tamizh Hindu blog that subverted Hindu religious imagery and structures (like Temples and moolamoorties even) into "art", and allowed "participation" of Indian and alien christoterrorists in the "discussion" on Hindu "art".
The speaker's audience in the video looks to be a whole bunch of western people, who he lectures/teaches to "admire" Hindu "art". It's the last thing Hindus need:

- Just like Temples, Hindu imagery is particularly Not meant for alien audiences, tourists, museums, "world heritage" nonsense, "art appreciation" circles, or as examples in the "study of aesthetics" etc. Hindus need to stop allowing Hindu religion to be separated from the expression of it.
- there are all already too many alien terrorists I mean "collectors" who have been busy stealing - I mean "buying" - and even looting sacred Temple items and moorties.
Death to traitors.
