Pray every day for your family. Not just for salvation, but for protection and their other needs.
Live as an example of God's divine love. (Also known as Agape). Love that is sacrificial and unconditional.

I agree Siddhi...keep praying for them and show them Christian love. They will eventually see the truth of Jesus Christ.
Yes. I don't know if the family will listen to me about the gospel of Jesus Christ because they are afraid that I will shout.I know that my elder sister and my mother, my mother's brother's wife still believe in Hinduism. So I came here to tell.
I am tired of this world.

Never shout at anyone about Jesus. Instead show them Christian love by being kind to them. If an opportunity arises where you can plant some seeds about Jesus, then do that. Plant seeds a little at a time. And keep praying for them.
1 Corinthians 3:6-7
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Now I will speak of family with love. I feel shy to talk to my neighboring families. They are not ready to hear the gospel of Jesus. Mother says Hindus say that to respect our Hindu Gods. This is the problem.

If they are not ready to hear, you can still be kind to them. If an opportunity opens up, then you can share about Jesus Christ.

Someone once said this:
Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.

I told mother that Jesus is the only way of salvation, no other God can save us. When you believe in Jesus, you will come with me into the kingdom of God.

But there is also that the righteous inherit the earth. Even unbelievers can do what is right towards their neighbor (not coveting what they have or trying to take it, forgiving, being meek and not arrogant towards others, not stealing, etc) proving that they have Gods’ law written on their heart, their own conscience either causing them to feel they have done wrong or else not condemning them. (The story of the Good Samaritan shows it, as do some other parables.) God will judge those who do no harm to their neighbor with mercy.Telling the story of Jesus and sharing the gospel of Jesus.

We will all be judged by what we have DONE.
Please be careful not to teach that works will save us. Only through our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior are we saved.
4And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God
John 3:4-18
The story of the Good Samaritan was told by Jesus in order to teach us who is our neighbor. Jesus was not suggesting that our works will save us.
4But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:4-7

I’m not turning this woman’s beautiful thread into that never ending battleground where people use verses to fight against other verses rather than understanding them together in balance.
@Siddhi Koli is a former Hindu so I don't want her to become confused about salvation.
