Good luck. A Nigerian could find it impossible to come to the USA! US visa application is around $100 Amerikan. Embassy says, 'No' and the applicant is out of $100. Amerika comitts fraud with these applications because they know ahead of time if an application is going to be approved or not. If an applicant cannot prove they are going home at the end of their visa, they won't get a visa to the USA. So much for give me your tired, poor, and hungry ... So, no, I cannot help you go to India anymore than I can help you come to the USA.

India has suffered a lot due to Islam invasion and Christian missionaries for centuries.It continues even now,one side islam extremists killing innocent hindus and Christians (several denominations and they fight each other) on the otherside converting innocent and materialistic hindus .The ultimate purpose of these unethical conversion is to control over masses.Funds are poured in for this conversion from both Islamic and Christian countries.
Why do you want to do this to us? Why don't you leave us in peace and mind your own business?
Why not you people think about your own country and make efforts to develop it?
Why not you people stay back and resolve the problems in your country like drugs,marriage and family problems and violence?
We Hindus do not convert anybody.We practice non-violence and follow the vedic path to reach God.
Live and let us live in peace.

Welcome to India, the land of spiritual awakening.
Nothing to do with Hinduism or Christianity. Find what you can not find anywhere else. Very very few among the Indians have understood ' The Thing '. They think pride in religion to be the aim of religion.
It is actually the feeling of humbleness which should be the aim. We Indians don't know these basics.
I for one will not mind, if you can teach me humbleness.

Already India is having millions and millions of Missionaries who have nothing to do seriously. Be a good Christian over there in Nigeria. It is enough. Lord will be happy with your blowing.

I fully endorse the views of Magnolia Flora. In addition charity begins at home. Missionary work should not be for conversion or exploitation of poverty. Nigeria known now mostly for financial scam and spam mails is the best field for your work. Heal thyself, dear brother. You have a better field for your work right at your home State.

The spiritual traditions of India are far more profound than any of the drivel you plan to offer. Stay home.

First of all,please understand about Hinduism,before you start anything there in India.
Hinduism, the world’s oldest religion, has no beginning--it precedes recorded history. It has no human founder. It is a mystical religion, leading the devotee to personally experience the Truth within, finally reaching the pinnacle of consciousness where man and God are one. Hinduism has four main denominations--Saivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism and Smartism.
The following nine facts, though not exhaustive, offer a simple summary of Hindu spirituality or about Hinudism.
1 Hindus believe in a one, all-pervasive Supreme Being who is both immanent and transcendent, both Creator and Unmanifest Reality.
2 Hindus believe in the divinity of the four Vedas, the world's most ancient scripture, and venerate the Agamas as equally revealed. These primordial hymns are God's word and the bedrock of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal religion.
3 Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation, preservation and dissolution.
4 Hindus believe in karma, the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words and deeds.
5 Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many births until all karmas have been resolved, and moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth, is attained. Not a single soul will be deprived of this destiny.
6 Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that temple worship, rituals, sacraments and personal devotionals create a communion with these devas (divine beings) and God.
7 Hindus believe that an enlightened master, or satguru, is essential to know the Transcendent Absolute, as are personal discipline, good conduct, purification, pilgrimage, self-inquiry, meditation and surrender in God.
8 Hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and therefore practice ahimsa, noninjury, in thought, word and deed.
9 Hindus believe that no religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine paths are facets of God's Light, deserving tolerance and understanding.
Hindus believe in one Supreme Being. In the Hindu pantheon there are said to be three hundred and thirty-three million Lords(divine beings). The plurality of Lords are perceived as divine creations of that one Being. So, Hinduism has one supreme God, but it has an extensive hierarchy of Lords.
Hinduism views existence as composed of three worlds. The First World is the physical universe; the Second World is the subtle astral or mental plane of existence in which the devas, angels and spirits live; and the Third World is the spiritual universe of the Mahadevas, "great shining beings," our Hindu Lords. Hinduism is the harmonious working together of these three worlds.
The Veda is the Hindu holy book. The four books of the Vedas—Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva—include over 100,000 verses. The knowledge imparted by the Vedas ranges from earthy devotion to high philosophy. Their words and wisdom permeate Hindu thought, ritual and meditation. The Vedas are the ultimate scriptural authority for Hindus. Their oldest portions are said by some to date back as far as 6,000 bce, orally transmitted for most of history and written down in Sanskrit in the last few millennia, making them the world’s longest and most ancient scripture. The
Vedas open a rare window into ancient Indian society, proclaiming life’s sacredness and the way to oneness with God.
Hinduism is unique among the world's religions. I boldly proclaim it the oldest religion in the world. To begin with, it is mankind's oldest spiritual declaration, the very fountainhead of faith on the planet. Hinduism's venerable age has seasoned it to maturity. It is the only religion, to my knowledge, which is not founded in a single historic event or prophet, but which itself precedes recorded history. Hinduism has been called the "cradle of spirituality," and the "mother of all religions," partially because it has influenced virtually every major religion and partly because it can absorb all other religions, honor and embrace their scriptures, their saints, their philosophy. This is possible because Hinduism looks compassionately on all genuine spiritual effort and knows unmistakably that all souls are evolving toward union with the Divine, and all are destined, without exception, to achieve spiritual enlightenment and liberation in this or a future life.
Unethical Conversion in India.
In India,you can preach and convert only very very poor people who are lay-hindus for money and material.You ask them to hate Hindus and create problems in the society.You convert poor Hindus to Christians and preach them to hate and fight with other hindus.
Not a single educated Hindu will convert to any religion.
Why not you please stay in your own country and practice your religion and be happy there.
