I thought it was "Dharma and Greg"?

I don't know that I would say that Hinduism has a goal except to develop the individual along the path of his/her life and place in the larger world. Dharma is religious duty - living a righteous life. Kharma is action, but typically refers to the cumulated effects of one's actions that determine the person's circumstances/condition in life, including across lifetimes. I wouldn't use past tense to describe the effects of kharma and dharma on Hinduism, as they are central tenets of the religion. They shape every facet of a Hindu's path, as dharma is moral behavior, and kharma is your unescapable consequences of your behavior. Thus, you earn your own kharma through your actions, and good kharma is the result of living within good dharma. http://hinduism.iskcon.com/practice/700.htm http://hinduism.about.com/od/basics/a/dharma.htm http://hinduism.iskcon.com/concepts/103.htm http://www.hinduwebsite.com/conceptofkarma.asp

Every Action (karma) should have the bearing of "Dharma". The word Dharma cannot be translated correctly by an English equivalent The Sanskrit word Dharma broadly means "upholding" - upholding the universal Truth or Law which is unchangable - has different bearing according to the circumstances. Thus the believers of Vedic Religions have to follow Dharma for every action of theirs.
