dharma and karma are two sides of the same coin . dharma gives a person individuality and karma decides the character of the person .every human being has right to follow his own dharma but it is very essential for a humanbeing to do the right karma and grow as an individual and try to achieve the path of happiness which is the ultimate aim of all humanbeing our karma musy be such that our inner self doesnot prick us so we can say that karema is greatest than dharma.it is only through dharma we learn about karma

Dharma does not mean to do something madly.
Karma also does not mean that , you should get your work done by hook or crook.
Each concept is a vast science. If you follow the rules, you will be rewarded. If you foolishly bend the rules to suit your selfish needs,you will be punished.
Karma , in the right path , uplifts you , above the trivialities of life and makes you ready for the Dharma. Karma is that purifying process , where you are tempered into the finest steel by the hammerings of the life.
The meanings of Dharma then becomes clear to a person , who is made holy through Karma. Without Karma there is no Dharma. Dharma in a broader sense is also a Karma.
So definitely , Karma is greater and tougher , as this prepares oneself to achieve the most in Dharma. Dharma is the ultimate , after which the Karma ends.
Dharma is a state of mind , which you reach through great Karma.

friend i think u got the concept of dharma wrong. dharma is duty, natural way of acting. if a human being lies then he is going against his dharma. but i do agree with u that the person who leads a righteous life yet may not seem religious, is the beloved of god. the problem is we think that we should b only good during that 1 hour in the temple, but god is with us al the time. if we realise that we'll always b doing the right thing

Hi, you are wrong. I guess you dont understand what dharma or karma is and I see all those who answer also dont know.what they are talking about instead everyone is just reacting to the quotes of the question.
its a huge topic - if its a spiritual person who completely understands dharmic religion ( sanatana dharma) or buddharma concepts - knows that it takes a degree to fully apprehand all the syllibus of DHARMIC concepts.
Then you may go to "cost and effect" ( KARMA ) which also needs extremely deep understanding
and only then one gives comment to answer the questions - unlike what I see here of many fakirs, rishees and gurus who inteligently and simply spitting out the words of wisdoms -
I can just smile, anyway nice try to everyone

Stop mixing issues.
When you get dharma and karma right
you will realize that Dharma is the very essence behind every karma. They are not two independent issues.

"Dharma' is not religion. Dharma is the set of duties defined for each of us based on our merits and capabilities. A fighters dharma is to fight. A teachers dharma is to guide. A mothers dharma is to feed her child. A fathers dharma is to take care of his family, a son/daughters dharma is to respect his/her parents, etc. There are a hell lot of such sets of duties for everyone.
Karma's are our acts with respect to Dharma. Our performance (Karma) against our Dhrama (duties) pay for us.
All the best...

Karma according to Dharma is the objective; hence both are important . Dharma is more important between the two.

For those of you who think this person's questions are about Buddhism, it's not... the concepts of "Dharma and Karma" are also Hindu concepts.
Buddhism doesn't believe in omnipotent creator deities... it seems like this question is coming from Hindu pov.
To us Buddhists, the answers would be vastly different than you see in here.

Dharma is the teachings of the Buddha and those who follow the Buddha's teachings try to live with compassion and kindheartedness. By doing right action we cultivate good karma but if we are only doing right action to gain good karma then the action is empty according to Buddhism. We should not be seeking rewards for doing the right thing.
