Nivedana, Maha Nivedana and Aatma Nivedana are three steps in the act of offering. Nivedana and Maha Nivedana consists of Neivedya which is offered to the devata. Nivedya and Mahaneivedya consists of various fruits, fruits, pakvaan and Anna - Rice with Ghee offered to devta
Atma Nivedana - When we offer Neivedyam the last step is offering the Aatma I.e offering the Immortal being in us.
" Om Bhramane Namah / Bhramarpanamastu / Aatma Nivedana Samarpayami "
During this phase a seeker offers himself to God.

Samarpan bhaav is the actual nivedana a lord looks for along with the upachara Neivedya.
Prasada means a gift. Any food offered as neivedyam is transformed to prasadam. The actual prasadam a seeker looks for is "Devata Kataaksha" ( A glance ) on him.

A nivedya is offered by a seeker with aatma chitha sudhi and awaits for eeshwar kataksha. It is not give and take. It is a spirit of Anubandhana between a seeker and god. An exchange of love like a mother and child have. Aatma Nivedana is a key point in the act of offering 🙏🏼
