a little excerpt!
According to Xena producers, a pure devotee and servant of the Lord (Hanuman) should be treated with disdain or as an equal at best. After all, in Xena's eyes, such personalities are themselves "fictional." And certainly we do not need to pay such devotees our obeisances or show our respects or adoration. Early in the show Hanuman steps out of the shadows to get a close look at a so-called avatar who is very Christ-like in appearance. Xena (the "heroine" and main character) attacks him and punches him repeatedly in the face. Hanuman doesn’t even counterattack but defends himself by picking her up, holding her hands to her side. Xena then head-butts him very severely in the face. At this point Hanuman says (this is an exact quote, as are all others mentioned in this article), "Please don’t hurt me. I mean no harm." The "heroine" Xena stops beating Hanuman but makes no apology to him whatsoever. Instead she castigates him: "What do you think you’re doing prowling around the camp?" Hanuman: "I wanted to get a closer look at the avatar. My name is Hanuman." Hanuman then bows his head respectfully to Xena, but receives no respect in return, nor even a word or gesture of apology for viciously attacking him. During subsequent scenes, Xena treats Hanuman as an equal at best, showing no humility or respect to him. So the clear message here is that a pure devotee and servant of the Supreme Lord should be treated with disdain or as an equal at best. And certainly we do not need to pay them our obeisances or show our respects or adoration.
