Hare Krsna,
Can somebody explain with example what is the difference between Dharma and puniya karma?
Does Dharma means doing everything in relation to and for Krsna?
why was Yudhister called dharmaraj? inspite of losing Draupadi in gambling. Did he act only for Krsna?
So...........
Earning money for livelihood is our Kartavya or Dharma?
Having Kids and raising them is our kartavya or Dharma?
A king fighting for his kingdom is his kartavya or Dharma?
Giving charity to Brahmanas(assuming who are dedicated to Lord) is Dharma or puniya karma?
Giving charity to poor/needy people is puniya karma?
Giving charity to temples is our Dharma or puniya karma?

Hare Krsna Alka mataji

We have only one Dharma- to serve Krsna and his servants.
All other things should be classified under this dharma in one way or other.
Regarding Yudhisthir mahraj's acts, I can't comment cuz I dn't know what was in his mind when he did that.
But I can tell about other things
Earning money for livelihood- we have to do this so that we can continue our service to Krsna properly, ie to facilitate our dharma.
Having Kids and raising them- Having kids and Raising them in KC is our dharma
A king fighting for his kingdom- If he is a devotee and his kingdom is Krsna conscious kingdom then it is his dharma to protect his kingdom.
Giving charity to Brahmanas(assuming who are dedicated to Lord) is Dharma-perfect
Giving charity to poor/needy people is puniya karma- if u give prasad to them it is perfect but simply giving them money will give u pious credit which will further bind u in Karma
Giving charity to temples- if it is for service of Krsna or Visnu, it is dharma.
