Kali Yuga: Defects of Kali Yuga

Q. 1. I'm wondering how individual free will factors into the verses and purports describing the species of demoniac life. Specifically BG 16.19 - 20.

Srila Prabhupada's purport states:
"In this verse it is clearly indicated that the placing of a Particular individual soul in a particular body is the prerogative of the supreme will."

"As for the demoniac, it is clearly said here that they are perpetually put into the wombs of demons, and thus they continue to be envious, the lowest of mankind."

Q. I was reading your question and answer section on "Cow's milk" (Digest 19B), because I recently got some information that the cow's milk in America comes at the expense of a lot of suffering.  The cows are fed hormones and other things so they could give more milk, which makes them suffer a considerable amount.

Q. My mind has become very rational and logical. I am losing the faith on God due to one/two mistakes I have made in my life. I am feeling depressed and guilty about the incidents. Please let me know how to build the faith on God.

Faith is built by association. Association with the modes of nature result in various kinds of faith in different categories of people, while association with the transcendental devotees of God builds our faith in God.

Q. 1. I work in a hotel that serves meat. By working there have I committed a sin? Would I be ineligible for Krishna Consciousness?

Q. In Hindu culture, in all pujas we used to pray first for Ganesa but we are not following this. Why?

Q. If there is something that is haunting one's mind everyday in one's thought pattern and there is nothing one can do about it, and it gives lot of irritation, anger and suspicion, what should one do?

Since the specific details are not clear, I will attempt to give only a very general answer.
