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.

What is the saddest but truest sentence about life?

 People think they are much more important than they actually are.

The Earth could explode tomorrow and the universe wouldn't even notice.

We are so tiny and insignificant in the universe that it's not even funny.

For example, look at these pictures.

Now look at the Earth:

And now look at Earth compared to Jupiter and Saturn... pretty wild.

…but then you compare it to the sun and the earth is a speck of dust.

And you might think, "The sun is quite impressive"—actually, it isn't. Compare it to these other stars in the Milky Way galaxy...

Let's take a look at how large Arcturus is in the image above (which is smaller than our Sun) compared to some larger stars in the Milky Way.

Antares must be a gigantic, impressive star, right? Let's take a look at it in the Milky Way... I bet it stands out!

Is the Milky Way an impressive galaxy?

Not really. There are trillions of others in the observable universe.

We humans like to think we are important, but on a large scale we simply are not.

What are some of the unknown facts that are true?

 Here I will share some facts that are true and everybody should know them. Let's see🤠~

What’s your favorite movie based on true events?

 1. Schindler's List

because it shows the reality of the Holocaust without filtering or dramatizing it too much, it feels disturbingly real…Also I love that how only one single colored in the whole scene was represented to highlight this girl who's trying to hide…

In the last scene after saving more than 1,100 people, Oskar Schindler breaks down crying and says one of the most heartbreaking lines

2. Society of the Snow

• More than the movie, the real event completely blew my mind. They literally survived for three months. They had nothing to eat, so they survived by eating the flesh of their fellow passengers who had died. If I were in that situation, I would honestly have given up.

3. 12 years a Slave

It’s a biopic based on the autobiography of Solomon Northup. The movie shows the brutality of slavery in a slow, uncomfortable way that feels real

4. SANJU

(see people have different opinions about whitewashing the character of Sanjay Dutt , Why I liked the movie is because of Ranbir Kapoor's acting ).

I've watched some biopics in India. Not mentioning Cuz people have already mentioned. Also , no biopic is 100% accurate

But I would love To mention DASRATH MANJHI for sure.

Rest MAJOR I have watched. And I haven't watched URI , shershah , So. :)..

True events means not only biopics may be some events too but I've watched rn or I have forgot.

What are some of the most unbelievable yet "true" pictures?

 Nazaré in Portugal became head news all over the world when Garret McNamara surfed a confirmed 30 meter - 100ft - wave in 2011. Since then it has become the hotspot for bigwave surfers around the Globe. In 2013 Brazilian Carlos Burle, surfed an even bigger wave, 32–35 meter estimated although according to some observers he didn´t complete it. This unique scenario, with the iconic red lighthouse has been the object of several photos that may look impossible, but I assure you , they´re not:

The height and frequency of the waves has to to with the Nazaré Canyon, an underwater geological formation, a funnel that starts some 200 kms from the coast, 5 kms deep, amassing huge quantities of water and energy, that are slingshot through the Canyon that ends some 500 meters from the beach, producing the highests waves in the World. The red lighthouse is high on a promontory, as you can see in this picture:

Another, less known photo is this one, also in Portugal, Covão dos Conchos, Estrela Mountain:

It looks like the all the water in the lagoon is being swallowed up! In fact, what you see is a 1,5 km tunnel that leads water from the Naves brook to the Lagoa Comprida reservoir.
