Girisha: Girisha means master of Giri or Hill. What does this signify? People often go to Tirupati Hills and offer their hair in fulfilment of vows. The inner significance of this sacrifice of hair must be understood. God is not expecting your hair, which is of no value at all. Does He relish this lowliest of offerings? Certainly not! The head is the peak of the human body. Ignorance or Tamasika quality is supposed to be dark or black. The black hair is enveloping the peak of the human body, which is the head. By removing the hair on the head you expose the white surface of the peak. This is symbolic of surrendering the dullness or Tamasika quality. This is an age-old practice, which, is followed without comprehending its inner significance. Since God is the master of the light of wisdom, as opposed to dullness on the head at the top of the human body, He is termed as ‘Girisha.’
Naresha: In the term Naresha (master of Narah) ‘Na’ means no, ‘Rah’ means ignorant of one’s sacredness. Nara means ‘man’ who is not ignorant. He is not a sinner. He is the embodiment of pure Atma. The Master of man is Naresha.
Paresha: ‘Para’ means ‘above all’. God transcends all. He is Akhanda (limitless) and Anirvachaniya (beyond description by words). As God transcends the three stages of time –past, present and future – and transcends space, pervading everywhere, He is termed Paresha.
Bilvesha: He is termed Bilvesha — the lover of the Bilva leaf which is having triple leaves in a single stalk, Trinetra – one with three eyes and Triguna - transcending the three gunas (qualities of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas). His weapon is Trishul, the three-pointed Javelin. One should offer the three qualities to God, symbolised by the offer of the triple-leaf Bilva for worship. One should do worship with full understanding of the inner significance of the rituals. (SSS Vol.26, pp. 133-134)
