Which Mahabharata character knew Krishna's true identity first?

 

Bhishma knew Krishna’s identity much earlier than anyone else.

In Sabha parva he elaborately explained why Krishna should be the one to take first worship.

Hrishikesha is the officiating priest, the preceptor, the bridegroom, ^ the snataka, the king and the friend. Therefore, Achyuta has been shown the homage. The worlds owe their origin to Krishna and in him are they dissolved. It is in Krishna that all the beings of this universe are established. He is passive nature, he is the active doer and he is eternal. He is supreme among all beings and it is for this reason that Achyuta is the eldest. Intelligence, mind, greatness, wind, energy, water, sky, earth and the four kinds of beings^ — are all established in Krishna. The sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, the directions and the intermediate directions — are all established in Krishna.

Ch 35 Sabha parva Bori critical Edition

Bhishma also knew the Nara Narayana origin of Krishna and Arjuna through Narada.

the same way, Narayana killed many others in that battle. Behold! These two immensely valorous ones have arrived as the maharatha warriors Vasudeva and Arjuna. It is said that they are the ancient gods Nara and Narayana. They are invincible in the world of men, and even against Indra, the gods and the asuras. It is said that Narayana is Krishna and Phalguna 5 " is Nara. Narayana and Nara are one being, but have been divided into two. They have earned eternal and indestructible worlds because of their deeds. When the time for war has arrived, they are repeatedly born there and here. This is the task that they have to perform. That is what Narada, knowledgeable about the Vedas, told the assembled circle of the Vrishnis.

Ch 48 Udyoga parva Bori critical Edition

Bhishma took permission from Krishna to leave the body.

“O illustrious one! O god of the gods! O one who is worshipped by the gods and the asuras! O Trivikrama! O wielder of the conch shell, chakra and the club! I bow down before you. O Krishna! O Vaikuntha! O Purushottama! Grant me permission. Protect the Pandaveyas. They are devoted to you.

Ch 153 Anusasana parva Bori critical Edition

After him I think Kunti and Yudhishtir got to know Krishna’s reality.

Kunti said to Krishna

O Krishna! I know about the influence of your truth and your noble birth, and the intelligence and valour that you display in establishing your friends. In our lineage, you are dharma, you are truth and you are the greatness of austerities. You are the saviour. You are the great brahman. Everything is established in you. Everything will be as you say. Truth is established in you.” Govinda took his leave of her and circumambulated her. The mighty-armed one left for Duryodhana’s residence.’

Ch 88 Udyoga parva Bori critical Edition

Kunti prayed to Krishna to revive stillborn Parikshit. She knew he is all powerful supreme god.

Yudhishtira knew Krishna’s identity but so did other Pandavas including Draupadi.

Arjuna’s praise of Krishna in Vana parva proves the point. Same with Draupadi who acknowledged his omnipresence through her prayer.

So Bhishma leads the list in this regard.

According to you who is the most underrated character in the Mahabharata?

 Let us look at Jarasandha, not his personal prowess, but as the emperor of Magadh empire. Under this man, Magadh was MOST POWERFUL EMPIRE throughout dwpar yug. His strategic brilliance and intellect is thoroughly disregarded..

Jarasandh conquered all lands barring Hastinapur(due to Bhishma and Karna) and Dwaraka (because of them hiding in forts near mountainous regions). All other kingdoms were either subservient to him, was his allies or their kings were captured for human sacrifice. Nothing comes close to matching his military power. Pandavs never induced a fraction of fear into enemies hearts as much as Jarasandha did..

And, O exalted one, the eighteen tribes of the Bhojas, from fear of Jarasandha, have all fled towards the west; so also have the Surasenas, the Bhadrakas, the Vodhas, the Salwas, the Patachchavas, the Susthalas, the Mukuttas, and the Kulindas, along with the Kuntis.

And the king of the Salwayana tribe with their brethren and followers; and the southern Panchalas and the eastern Kosalas have all fled to the country of the Kuntis. So also the Matsyas and the Sannyastapadas, overcome with fear, leaving their dominions in the north, have fled into the southern country. And so all the Panchalas, alarmed at the power of Jarasandha, have left their own kingdom and fled in all directions.

The sheer amount of terror he spread throughout indian subcontinent is visible from the above paragraph. Kingdoms fled at his mere NAME.

He married his daughters to one of Yadavs named kams and used him as a puppet to weaken the Yadavs from within.

Some time before, the foolish Kansa, having persecuted the Yadavas, married two of the daughters of Jarasandha. They are called Asti and Prapti and Are the sister of Sahadeva. Strengthened by such an alliance, the fool persecuting his relatives gained an ascendency over them all. But by this conduct he earned great obloquy. The wretch also began to oppress the old kings of the Bhoja tribe, but they, to protect themselves from the persecution of their relative, sought our help.

When Krishn and Balaram killed Kams, Jarasandha waged war against Yadavs(including krishn and balram). JS had 2 powerful generals Hams and dimvak who proved too much for Yadavs and were killed through trickery. Jarasandh' was depressed and withdrew from war. However kamsa’s daughter instigates him against Yadavs and he came back for war. Because the Yadavs had just tasted the might of Magadh army, it was obvious to them that they weren't even a match to it and devided to FLEE FOR THEIR LIVES. This included Krishn and Balarama too. Which simply shows how extraordinary of a threat he was.

Then, O bull of the Bharata race, king Jarasandha, hearing that both Hansa and Dimvaka had been killed, returned to his kingdom with an empty heart. After Jarasandha had returned, O slayer of all foes, we were filled with pleasure and continued to live at Mathura.

Then the widow of kansa and the daughter of Jarasandha, that handsome woman with eyes like lotus-petals, grieved at the death of her lord, went unto her father, and repeatedly urged, O Monarch, the king of Magadha, saying,--O slayer of all foes, kill thou the slayer of my husband.--

Then, O great king, remembering the conclusion to which we had come of old we became exceedingly cheerless and fled from Mathura. Dividing our large wealth into small portions so as to make each portion easily portable, we fled from fear of Jarasandha, with our cousins and relatives. Reflecting upon everything, we fled towards the west. There is a delightful town towards the west called Kusasthali, adorned by the mountains of Raivata. In that city, O monarch, we took up our abode. We rebuilt its fort and made it so strong that it has become impregnable even to the Gods.

Jarasandha forced the Yadavs to relocate from their homeland Mathura to Dwarka. Such was his reign of TERROR.

Krishn further says, defeating Jarasandh (at head of his army) is impossible and should be neutralised in a single combat where neither his army nor his allies would interfere. And that's exactly how he was eliminated.

He is incapable of being vanquished in battle even by all the celestials and the Asuras (fighting together). We think, however, that he should be vanquished in a personal struggle with bare arms. In me is policy, in Bhima is strength and in Arjuna is triumph; and therefore, as prelude to performing the Rajasuya, we will certainly achieve the destruction of the ruler of Magadha.

When we three approach that monarch in secret, and he will, without doubt, be engaged in an encounter with one of us. From fear of disgrace, from covetousness, and from pride of strength he will certainly summon Bhima to the encounter.

The man who has induced terror even to Krishn and forced them to abandon their homeland and flee for their lives, yet none of the serials or later adaptations depict it. Infact, Books focused on Krishn whitewashed this pathetic defeat of Krishn and turned Jarasandha many times weaker.

Which Mahabharata character has the most endurance?

 Karna and It's not even Close

Karna when giving away his Armor, Peeled his own skin with a Radiant Dart. He literally rips his own skin and shown no sign of Pain or difficulty, He was literally Smiling:

Vaisampayana continued, "Thereupon, O king, taking the blazing dart, Karna began to peel off his natural mail. And beholding Karna cutting his own body, the entire host of celestials and men and Danavas set up a leonine roar. And Karna betrayed no contortions of face while peeling his mail. And beholding that hero among men thus cutting his body with an weapon, smiling ever and anon, celestial kettle-drums began to be played upon and celestial flowers began to be showered on him. And Karna cutting off the excellent mail from his person, gave it to Vasava, still dripping. And cutting off his ear-rings also from off his ears, he made them over to Indra.

  • Gods, humans, and Rakshas watched this extraordinary act and roared in amazement and admiration.
  • The heavens celebrated his Act and the gods honoured him by playing divine instruments and showers of flowers.

What can be more glorious and daring than this? Other characters would have died, cried or gotten Unconscious on the spot with such Brutual Pain, Many wouldn't have even dared to cut their own body.

This is not the only act, Which shows Karna endurance. When Prashuram was resting on Karna's lap, A Celestial-Demonic insect started piercing Karna:

White his preceptor was thus sleeping (with head) on his lap, a frightful worm, whose bite was very painful and which subsisted on phlegm and fat and flesh and blood, approached the presence of Karna. That blood-sucking worm, approaching Karna's thigh, began to pierce it. Through fear of (awaking) his preceptor, Karna became unable to either throw away or kill that worm. Though his limb was bored through by that worm, O Bharata, the son of Surya, lest his preceptor should awake, suffered it to do its pleasure. Though the pain was intolerable, Karna bore it with heroic patience, and continued to hold Bhrigu's son on his lap, without quivering in the least and without manifesting any sign of pain.

Karna endured that Pain without moving an inch. He silently suffered and bore the intolerable Pain without showing any signs of it.

This is enough to say that When it comes to Endurance, Karna stands at the Top. Neither Pandavs nor Kauravas or anyone else can surpass Karna interms of Endurance.

Show some respect to the Fallen Angel of Sun~

My Answer is based on KMG Mahabharat,

Which actor is as tough as their on-screen character?

 Donnie Yen, the famous martial arts actor.

According to the China Times, in the late 1990s, Donnie Yen was in a club with the then-actress Joey Meng.

Source : China Times

A gang started harassing her, wanting to take a picture with her. Yen politely asked them to stop, but they didn't, so Yen and Meng left the club.

The gang of eight young men followed them outside, continuing to harass them, and then attacked Donnie Yen. Yen put all eight gang members on their way to the hospital.

After being questioned by the police, it was determined that it was a case of self-defense and no charges were brought against him.

Yen was in his early thirties. As for the attackers, they were between 18 and 25 years old.

Was Urmila the most ignored character in Ramayana?

 Yes. She is barely mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana and has not even a single dialogue. She is mentioned by name only 5 times in the entire Ramayana. 4 times in Bala Kanda and 1 time in Ayodhya kanda.

I will list every single time Urmila is mentioned in Ramayana

Janaka offers Urmila to be married to Lakshmana

Now, bull among sages, with great pleasure I give away my two girls, Sita to Rama, bless you, and Urmila to Laksmana—my daughter Sita, who is like a daughter of the gods, whose only bride-price was great strength, and Urmila, my second daughter.

  • Sarga 70, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE

Vishwamitra and Vasistha accept Urmila’s marriage

The Houses of the Iksvakus and the Videhas are beyond conception and beyond measure, bull among men. There is none to equal them. Your majesty, this lawful union of Sita and Urmila with Rama and Laksmana is highly appropriate, the more so because of the perfection of their beauty.

  • Sarga 71, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE

Janaka asks Lakshmana to take the hand of Urmila in the marriage

King Janaka then spoke to Rama, the increaser of Kausalya’s delight: “This daughter of mine, Sita, shall be your lawful wedded wife. Accept her, bless you. Take her hand in yours. Come, Laksmana. Bless you. Accept Urmila, whom I give you. Take her hand without delay.” After speaking in this fashion, Janaka addressed Bharata, saying, “Take Mandavi’s hand in yours, delight of the Raghus.

  • Sarga 72, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE.

Urmila is welcomed to Ayodhya

Kausalya, Sumitra, fair-waisted Kaikeyi, and the king’s other wives busied themselves with receiving the brides. The king’s wives welcomed illustrious Sita, renowned Urmila, and the two daughters of Kusadhvaja. Clad in silken garments and greeted with blessings, they went at once to worship at the shrines of the gods.

  • Sarga 76, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE

Sita mentions Urmila while telling Anasuya about her marriage story

So my father invited my father-in-law, aged King Dasaratha, and afterward bestowed me on the celebrated Rama. And my father, of his own accord, bestowed my younger sister, the lovely and virtuous Urmila, as wife on Laksmana.

  • Sarga 110, Ayodhya Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE

This is the last time Urmila is mentioned by name. She never appears or is mentioned by name after this point.

Infact Lakshmana himself never mentions Urmila in the entire Valmiki Ramayana.

Which movie character is very famous but unknown?

 This woman only appears for 18 seconds in each film. If you've ever seen a Columbia film, you've probably seen her. If you're a fan of her films, I'm sure you recognize her face well.

Of course, the original set wasn't as dramatic or beautiful as the final product. But it remains one of the finest openings in cinematic history.

There is no doubt that this woman's face will continue to be seen for generations to come, after all, this woman is the lady of Columbia.

Many actresses are thought to have starred in the original depiction of the goddess of liberty, but according to the studio, the woman is not portrayed by any particular actress.

Which character of Dhoni drives you crazy?

 His calmness.

It's so unreal. You can't expect a person to be cool for 24 hours and I am sure Dhoni had moments where he completely lost it but whenever we see him on screen his calm and cool nature just looks unnatural and this character of Dhoni drives me crazy.

Let's look at some moments.

  • India Vs Sri Lanka, world cup final, 2011.

Dhoni finished it off in style and we won the world cup after 28 years. Dhoni hit that winning shot! But look at his face.

Even after winning a world cup he didn't lose his calmness. He was the captain, he hit the winning shot, he should be the one dancing and celebrating but he chose to see his players celebrate.

This is his only picture with the world cup in Indian jersey. He didn't even pose with it, just gave it to his team.

  • Ind Vs Sri Lanka, Celkon Cup, 2013.

During this tri- series of India, Sri Lanka and West Indies Dhoni was ruled out due to injury. But he made an entry with a bang in the final. With only 1 wicket in hand Dhoni finished the match.

Any celebration? Nope. Just a smile and a hug with Ishant Sharma.

One important part of this match I would love to mention, if you have seen this match's video in YouTube, you can hear him say let's meet the opponents.

His respect towards the opponents is simply amazing.

  • India Vs Bangladesh, T20 World Cup, 2016.

Who can forget this match and it's nail biting end. Each and every person was screaming and celebrating and then there was this guy. Ice man!

  • RPS Vs KXIIP, 2016.

2016 was the worst phase of MS Dhoni's IPL career. But no one can forget that last match with Punjab where he scored 23 runs off just 5 balls in the last over. Can you believe! 23 runs. He proved his critics wrong and slapped his haters with his bat, but did he celebrate?

No.

  • India Vs Pakistan, Champions Trophy, 2017.

India losing to Pakistan was one of the biggest traumas of 2017. Now I am sure many people remember this Pakistani guy shouting “Who's the father now”, players were walking into the dressing room and he kept on shouting. Finally Shami lost his cool and confronted him.

But then Angel Dhoni appears.

Stops Shami from creating a scene.

Now, Dhoni is strong enough to beat the shit out of that guy howling but he chose what gentlemen do :) ( not attacking any Pakistani, please maintain peace ).

  • Celebrity Clasico, 2017.

A charity match between Bollywood stars and Cricketers. He scored two goals that night and what was his celebration?

Nothing. Scored the goals, ran to his position.

  • India Vs Sri Lanka, ODI match, 2017.

Sri Lankan fans started throwing bottles when their team was losing and this is how Dhoni reacted.

“Call me when you want to finish the match” - Mahendra Singh Dhoni

His favourite celebration? Just a smile (And this is exactly why I am going crazy).

His calmness (whether he wins a match or loses a match) always remains the same and it's impossible for a normal human being to stay that calm so guys don't try this at home, there is a reason we call him captain cool.
