the rememberance of the person who composes the parody as well as the person who presents it as prayer, if they have seen the particular movie. The remembrance of cinema-seen may cause deviation of the internal leaning from spiritual world to material world, from saintly life to householder's life. Deformation of Gocari
Gocari is a method for getting food in the ascetic life. A cow collects its food from different places by moving here and there. In the same way a monk should collect his food from different houses without pre-fixing any place. He should go only upto the outer-gate of the house and should stay their for a few minutes. If he does not get any food there, he should move to other doors. He should pleasantly accept the items of food prepared for the family members, not with a view to offering to some saint. But these days, places and persons are seen predetermined, from where and from whom food is to be collected. The ascetic goes directly to the kitchen of the householder from whom he has to have his meal. He chooses and takes delicious items prepared according to his choice knowingly by the householder. The householder thinks that he achieves religious values as much different delicious dishes he offers to the ascetic at his doors. Sometimes the householder goes to the dwelling place of the saint to inform that food is prepared and his family members are quite ready to welcome him. This way of Gocari makes the ascetic unable to control his taste which is against the saintly life. The unrestricted way of taking food may cause different types of violence in ascetic life as well as in common social life. Concealment of Crimes
Often many religious activities are preformed for the concealment of crimes and illegal deeds. A robber collects money by robbing others and constructs a temple to show that he is a good social man and is interested in religion. A smuggler earns a lot of money by smuggling and to conceal his unsocial activities he establishes an inn or a home for homeless so that people may respect him as a great social worker and a true well wisher of humanity. Some wealthy persons organize charitable trust in order to help the poor and the needy, by the power of his wealth
