GELENEKSEL YORUBA DİNİNDE ORİŞA (TANRISAL VARLIK) FİKRİ

Öz:
Makalenin konusu, geleneksel Yoruba dininde Orişa fikridir. Çalışmada, akademik alanda tanrı ya da tanrısal varlık olarak tartışılan Orişa kimliği irdelenmiştir.Orişalar özellikleri, görevleri ve uygulamalardaki tuttukları yer bakımından elealınmıştır. Onların iki âlemle, tanrısal âlem ve insan âlemiyle, yani Yüce TanrıOlodumare ve insanlarla ilişkisi vardır. Orişaların kimliği de bunlarla ifadesinibulur. Ne tanrı ne de insan değildir. İkisi arasında bir varlıktır ve verilen göreviicra ederler. Orişalar, Yoruba dini uygulamalarında merkezi bir konumda yeralırlar. Yorubalar, gündelik dini yaşamlarını sürdürmede en fazla ihtiyaç duydukları bir, nadir de olsa birkaç Orişayı tutarlar ve ritüel yaşamlarını ona yönelerek icra ederler. Ancak onlar Yüce Tanrı Olodumare’ye denk ve ortak olmayıptemel tapınma yönü de değillerdir. Yaratılışta Olodumare’nin görevlendirmesiyleetkin olmuşlardır. Orişaların tanrısal âlemdeki konumları Olodumare’ye secdeetmek ve O’nu yüceltmektir. Aynı zamanda, alış-veriş tarzındaki ritüellerde Orişalar tanrısal âlemle insan âlemi arasında aracı vazifesi görürler. Birer tanrıdeğil, tanrısal ve kutsal varlıklardır. Orişalar mitoloji ve uygulamada, yaratılıştave insan hayatında kutsal ve tanrısal bir plan dahilinde yer almışlardır. Mitolojide etkili ve Yoruba yaşam alanında yaygın olan Orişalar; Obatala, Eşu,Orunmila, Oduduva, Şango, Ogun ve Oşun’dur.

The Idea of Orisha (Divine Being) in Traditional Yoruba Religion

Öz:
The subject of the article is the idea of Orisha in the traditional Yoruba religion. In this study, Orisha identity which is discussed as god or divine being in academic field is examined. The Orishas are handled in terms of their characteristics, duties and the place they hold in practice. They are related to the two realms, the divine realm and the human realm, that is, the Supreme God Olodumare and the human. Their identity also finds expression with them. They are neither god nor human. They are an entity between the two and perform the assigned task. Oriyas are centrally located in Yoruba religious practices. The Yorubas hold one or a few Orishas, which they need the most in their daily religious lives, and perform their ritual life by turning to it. But they are not equivalent and common to the Supreme God Olodumare, and they are not fundamental worship. They were active in creation with the appointment of Olodumare. The position of the Orishas in the divine realm is to prostrate to Olodumare and to glorify Him. At the same time, the Orishas serve as intermediaries between the divine realm and the human realm in shopping-style rituals. They are not gods, but divine and sacred beings. The Orishas took part in a sacred and divine plan in mythology and practice, creation and human life. Orishas, which are effective in mythology and common in the religious life of Yorubas; Obatala, Eshu, Orunmila, Oduduwa, Shango, Ogun and Oshun.
