Bernini's famous sculpture of the Ecstasy of Saint Theresa is a beautiful artistic rendition of the sensual tale: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstasy_of_St_Theresa I don't think it would translate easily to Bharatanatyam, but nevertheless its an example of these saint's adoration for Jesus. The bhakthi is there. And we all know that sringaram is the basis of all the navarasas, therefore it doesn't need to be sexual. The Bhakthi element is there. There are dozens of small 'parable' stories which have wonderful morals and would be perfect candidates for keerthanams or varnams. But who knows if Jesus's life included sensual sringaram? Some speculate Mary Magdalene was his lover on the basis of other versions of the gospel. New testament aside, the old testament is full of weird and detailed stories which are more similar to Hindu legends. I disagree.

When the violin, the western instrument, has become so much "classical Indian" instrument, replacing veena at Bharatanatyam recitals. Even though veena has so much richer range of harmonics! People are going deaf, I guess. By the way, why did you file it under "karanas"???? Indian culture….

No dramatic performance should be made without first worshipping the deities presiding over the stage. When worshipped, they will bring you worship, and honoured they will bring you honour. Hence one should by all efforts offer Puja to the gods of the stage... He who willfully transgresses the rules of consecration of the stage and practises the dramatic art, will sustain loss and will be reborn as an animal of lower order". Therefore, the so-called "Hindu" Bharatanatyam dancers are actually atheists and will be re-born as worms somewhere Ireland. :-) Now let me explain that the so-called Christian gods/angels/saints have nothing to do with Jesus: they are merely some re-branded local pagan gods (that's what the Hinduism did in the tribal areas too). If you make an effort, you can find a more-or-less clear correspondence between a local pagan-Christian god and a Hindu deity. Can David help us identify any pagan-Christian gods/angels/saints who oversee the stage performances/ceremonies/rituals? I have to observe that there are hardly any Hindu's left in India, just as hardly any Christians left in Europe or the USA. There only atheists clubbing together under one or another common banner: it's just a political activity: "if you are not one of us then you are wrong". Basically, it is an animal herding process. Wolves have to live in packs. Whether it is in the context of Christianity or Hinduism, people conveniently ignore the Natya Shastra’s warning:
