Answer 1

I think the ISKON suggests itself, Sir.

Though I don't know where you're at, and therefore, can't help you further.

But, to become Hindu, you really don't need to do anything - except believe in Hindu Philosophy and call yourself a Hindu.

There is no central authority or doctine in Hinduism, so there really is nothing he needs to do. He can start practicing whichever Hindu practices he finds meaningful and call himself a Hindu.

first of all, i spirituality is something that we all go through individually, and so you should just acknowledge that he or she converted to Hinduism.
tell me if i'm wrong, but i sounds as though you oppose his or her converting. he/she must have been thinking about this for a time now but did not tell anyone, since religion and spiritually is not something that happens over night.

Answer 5
