Answer 2

ARJUNA knew that Lord Krishna was incarnation of GOD-

Read the illustration -

In the battlefield when Krishna asked Arjuna to do his duty without worrying about results Arjuna was put in to great dilemma. Arjuna speaks thus -

Why was he so interested in the destruction of so many people? Krishna managed to convince Arjun that it was his duty to fight. ‘Do your duty, and do not worry about the results of your actions’. That was the summary of Krishna’s discourse. But wasn’t Arjun’s original doubt valid? He was worried that his entire family will be destroyed. And by following the advice of Krishna, indeed, his entire family was destroyed. What did Arjun gain from the war? How can you say that do not worry about the consequences? Wasn’t that just a way of lulling Arjun’s mind and compelling him to kill? I do not accept that Krishna was right, just because he was supposed to be an incarnation of God. As I said earlier, rights and wrongs are a very personal matter, but I want to challenge the notion that what Krishna coerced Arjun to do was righteous. In light of the fact that Krishna knew about Karna, he should be treated as an inciter of violence. Why isn’t he? In modern times, a person who incites violence is certainly not judged in a very generous light. Krishna’s arguments fall into the line of ‘kill and you will obtain paradise’. Gandhari rightly cursed Krishna for allowing this war to happen, because he knew everything. Krishna has to be labeled as a fiend. This was obviously recognized even within the story, and his entire clan was punished for it-

Answer 3

First devine person to know that Lord Vishnu is going to Incarnate as Krishna, is Lord Balarama. Because he took birth before Krishna (as elder brother) upon His request to Lord Vishnu to do so.

First Material people to know Lord Krishna is God is His mother Devaki and father Vaasudev and of-course his uncle Kansh.

Answer 7

Devaki and Vasudeva knew from His birth, especially since at birth He manifested in His four-armed form. Balarama knew, as he was himself a manifestation of Adishesha. Arjuna learned later on of Krishna's divinity, when He revealed His universal form to Him during His discourse of the Gita.

Answer 9

Excerpts from, Krishna, Supreme Personality of Godhead, chapter eight, Vision of the Universal Form.

After this incident, Vasudeva asked his family priest Garga Muni to visit the place of Nanda Maharaja in order to astrologically calculate the future life of Krsna. Garga Muni was a great saintly sage who underwent many austerities and penances and was appointed priest of the Yadu dynasty....

Nanda Maharaja addressed Garga Muni as one of the great authorities in astrological science. The foretellings of astrological science, such as the occurrence of solar or lunar eclipses, are wonderful calculations, and by this particular science, a person can understand the future very clearly. Garga Muni was proficient in this knowledge. By this knowledge one can understand what his previous activities were, and by the result of such activities one may enjoy or suffer in this life. . . .

Garga Muni then informed Nanda Maharaja, "As far as the other boy is concerned, this child has taken different bodily complexions in different yugas [millennia]. First of all He assumed the color white, then He assumed the color red, then the color yellow and now He has assumed the color black. Besides that, He was formerly the son of Vasudeva; therefore His name should be Vasudeva as well as Krsna. Some people will call Him Krsna, and some will call Him Vasudeva. But one thing you must know: This son has had many, many other names and activities due to His different pastimes."

Garga Muni gave Nanda Maharaja a further hint that his son will also be called Giridhari because of His uncommon pastimes of lifting Govardhana Hill. Since he could understand everything past and future, he said, "I know everything about His activities and name, but others do not know. This child will be very pleasing to all the cowherd men and cows. Being very popular in Vrndavana, He will be the cause of all good fortune for you. Because of His presence, you will overcome all kinds of material calamities, despite opposing elements."

Garga Muni continued to say, "My dear King of Vraja, in His previous births, this child many times protected righteous persons from the hands of rogues and thieves whenever there was political disruption. Your child is so powerful that anyone who will become a devotee of your boy will never be troubled by enemies. Just as demigods are always protected by Lord Visnu, so the devotees of your child will always be protected by Narayana, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This child will grow in power, beauty, opulence--in everything--on the level of Narayana, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore I would advise that you protect Him very carefully so that He may grow without disturbance."

Garga Muni further informed Nanda Maharaja that because he was a great devotee of Narayana, Lord Narayana gave a son who is equal to Him. At the same time he indicated, "Your son will be disturbed by so many demons, so be careful and protect Him." In this way, Garga Muni convinced Nanda Maharaja that Narayana Himself had become his son. In various ways he described the transcendental qualities of his son. After giving this information, Garga Muni returned to his home. Nanda Maharaja began to think of himself as the most fortunate person, and he was very satisfied to be benedicted in this way.
