Jacob K. Olupona’s City of 201 Gods: Ilé-Ifè in Time, Space, and the Imagination is the book which has given me past creative mind and an educational section about the sacrosanct urban areas on the planet, other than knowing Jerusalem, Rome, and Mecca is the main consecrated urban communities on the planet. As per me, Olupona gives us a common data about the hallowed city of the Yoruba religion, Ilé-Ifè. This city has been exhaustively investigated and learned by archeologists and craftsmanship antiquarians. Ilé-Ifè ought to be examined further through strict viewpoint and ought to be considered among one of the consecrated urban communities like Banaras, Medina, Tenochtitlán, and others as one of the incredible holy urban communities of the world. Olupona talks about the cosmology, history, and ethnography of the sacrosanct city, their related ceremonies and the enthusiastic idea of the bond concerning the Yoruba religion. Olupona’s way of thinking and plan system are complex. He discusses outside world existence of Ilé-Ifè with the workmanship and antiquarianism perspective. His methodology is chiefly ethnographic. He puts stock in combining traditional ethnographic research. Encountering face to face, he inquired about and dissected the profound and social focus of the Yoruba religion. He talks about the adjustment in the city from extraordinary differentiation to approach destruction and afterward was referred to again as the city of divine beings.

All through, Olupona supports the key linkages between religion, cosmology, relocation, and family relationship as upheld in the intensity of imperial genealogies, authoritative state structure, sexual orientation, and the Yoruba feeling of spot, offering the fullest picture to date of this consecrated African city. Socially and profoundly, African cosmologies are looking for better presence that is uniting substances and social orders. Everyone from all age ought to be appreciative for the benefit of living and remaining solid and well off. Socialization procedures, celebrations, and functions make the life of African culture. Individual and social fulfillment is casually connected with the custom existence of society.

Be that as it may, as per my comprehension, Eliade’s hypothesis of “the consecrated” offers a noteworthy stand or fringe for my strategy to strict examinations since it speaks to acknowledge of the particular intrigue of strict experience. It is positively imperative to my strategy to religion, individuals who will in general methodology associates in strict activities are accepted to leave their cutoff to see more in chasing and engrossing whatever they can with their constrained methods. The word sacrosanct itself is particular and irregular sort of people observation, as it passes on other mysterious reality which can’t be expected or rearranged. With his view of the sacrosanct, Eliade is in a cognizance motioning about things around him are accepted to be genuine and genuine. Denied of accepting to recognize the establishment of the consecrated, Eliade claims that, whatever the establishment is, it is particular, mysterious and common as the being experience related with it is additionally unmistakable, cryptic and winning. Besides, Eliade imagines that individuals who are strict have confidence in unmistakable something of which we are ignorant of, so demands that we make an examination on that particular something. Eliade’ approach has the point of view perspective on the probability of humankind’s target, expressive or scholarly association with absurd qualities or people. Eliade’s way of thinking, at that point, will build up one of the degrees of my methodological methodology. Other than that, having the feeling of comprehension from both Eliade’s and Olupona that legend is reality and spot and space is related with a chronicled and fanciful experience of the celestial. It gives the idea of the convictions and methods of reasoning concerning conclusive reality and the perfect and incomparable can grow generously, repressed by logical reductionism.
