Sir, Is the tarpana that is done for MahaGanapati Chaturavritti same as how we do for Sri Chakra Puja?

What do mean by it is real and not real? The type state described here is like the person even in wakeful state does not see the world around him but only him. So if he see person X, then though he see physically X but understands fully that it is brahman? Or does an Avaduta been in a constant state of trance whether in wakeful state or sleep etc..in other works even in wakeful state there is nothing that he feels as in Samadhi (meaning samadhi is perfected in wakeful state as well - is this possible?)

That is why Brahman is explained as Omnipresent. This is the essence of Advaita Philosophy.

When I say that I'm not the body, why are we saying this as body is also Brahman? The theme in almost all the books is that I'm not body, mind etc but these are also Brahman. If we try and analyse everything is Brahman as the thought that arises, the thought that has arised here is Brahman, as it could not have arised without Brahman and at the basic level mind, thought, intelligence etc are nothing but energy which is nothing but Brahman In short it would be clearer to say that nothing exists but Brahman and what we identifying, fighting etc is Brahman's play with itself

Why not? You know living exmaples who are very well known to us. But it is wrong to expect samadhi stage early. Over a period of time, one can experience samadhi, provided sincere practice is followed.  But the initial impetus is mvoing away from duality to non-duality. Secondly, firm conviction that we are following the right path is essential.

Just one question. Is it really possible to reach the state that is mentioned here? Meaning even when alive the realization is so immense that the person does not see himself nor sees the object but just exists as in the state of Samadhi where nothing exists?

Thank you Guruji, I did read Avaduta gita but did not understand it clearly

This verse says that if we are able to contemplate Her and meditate on Her, we attain Divine Grace, which is reflected in one's physical body, particularly his face. Remember the old saying "face is the index of mind". When we meditate on Her with sincerity and devotion, due to the descent of Her energy, face begins to glow and this attracts many people towards the one who practices so.
