Hinduism and Art of Mechanical Maintainence

This is the first few paragraphs I studied from the chaos theory book. Liked the idea of interconnection of Chaos and Order linked with Hinduism

The Hindus ascribe to chaos a subtle role than mere formless confusion and recognize the underlying unity of order and disorder. In classical Hindu mythology the cosmos passes through three major phases 'creation',' maintenance' and destruction mirroring birth, life and death. Brahma the god of creation, Vishnu god of maintenance, and Shiva god of destruction (Disorder). But Shiva's personality is multifaceted. He who walks on wild side, lone hunter, dancer, the yogi who withdraws from human society, ascetic covered in ash. 'The Untamed'.
' The distinction between order and disorder is not between the god and evil. It represents instead two different ways in which divinity makes itself manifest. Benevolance and wrath; harmony and discord.'
