Sir, Namaste. When we sit for meditation, how many minutes or hours should we continuously practice for, in each of the stages mentioned above in the table?

Then at the crux of it we can totally conclude that the entire creation is illusion and actually does not exist. If exists then it is like an imaginary worldd created by Brahman. In the sense that we imagine things that we are rich , powerful etc but inactuality we are what we are? So it's like the world is a projection of our thoughts in this case Projection from Brahman. If I'm writing this it means Brahman has initiated this writing and he writing for himself. Which is all just a a some done for own amusement?

Ultimately, it the total surrender that matters. When we develop total Love for Her, all our desires will be accomplished.

Does mentally contemplating the manmathakala fulfill desires?

Yes, it refers to manmathakalā. Manmathakalā refers subtly to क्लीं klīṁ, the kāmarāja bīja. You can read explanation for Lalitā Sahasranāma 322 kāmakalā rūpā in this link http://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/lalitha-sahasranamam-322

Is the bindu as the face, the two circles below, and the inverted triangle, is this form also referred to as the MANMATHAKALAM??

  The flower should be held between the middle and ring fingers.

Namaste Sir, So Is the flower held between the middle and ring fingers offered to the Ganesha or just held between the fingers? I thought the flower is dipped in water and water is offered. Thank you Sir, Pratima

Real is Brahman and unreal is māyā. This is explained in detail in part I of this series. For him "īśāvāsyamidaṁ sarvaṁ” which means everything is Brahman. There are no stages for him. He always stays connected with Brahman and Brahman alone. When he is thus connected with It, obviously, he sees nothing and hears nothing as his consciousness has become one with IT. He is simply not concerned with what he sees or hears. There is no samadhi for him. When river waters merges with sea water, what happens to the river water. It remains merged. An Avadhūta is like the confluent water. Avadhūta Gītā needs repeated and patient reading to understand it. Though the crux of the revelation is that Brahman is omnipresent, it is explained from every possible way.

Both are different.  In caturāvṛttitarpaṇam, gnerally a flower is held between the middle and ring fingers of the right hand; alternatively crystal, rudrākṣa, gold ring, etc are held in the place of flowers. There is no need to have any of these, when none of them are available. In In navāvaraṇa pūjā flowers are to be taken in the left hand. In the right hand, tweezers is to be taken with a piece of ginger held between the tweezers. At the time of saying pūjayāmi flowers from the left hand are to be placed. At the time of saying tarpayāmi, the ginger piece is to be dipped into viśeṣa arghya using the tweezers and a drop of viśeṣa arghya is to be offered in the same place where flowers are placed.
