            <li >Container1 item</li>
            <!-- ko foreach: myItems -->
            <li>Item <span data-bind="text: $data"></span></li>
            <!-- /ko -->
        </ul>
        <button data-bind="click:showDiv">show another div</button>
    </div>
     <div id="container2" data-bind="visible:show">
        <ul>
            <li >Container2 item</li>
            <!-- ko foreach: myItems -->
                <li>Item <span data-bind="text: $data"></span></li>
            <!-- /ko -->
        </ul>
    </div> 

and here is script

function Container1ViewModel()
{
    var self = this;
    self.myItems = ko.observableArray();
    self.myItems.push("ABC");
    self.myItems.push("CDE");

} 
function Container2ViewModel() {
    var self = this;
    self.myItems = ko.observableArray();
    self.myItems.push("XYZ");
    self.myItems.push("PQR");

}


var container1VM;
var container2VM;

$(document).ready(function() {

    if ($.isEmptyObject(container1VM)) {
        container1VM = new Container1ViewModel();
        ko.applyBindings(container1VM, document.getElementById("container1"));
    }

    if ($.isEmptyObject(container2VM)) {
        container2VM = new Container2ViewModel();
        ko.applyBindings(container2VM, document.getElementById("container2"));
    }
});

You can make use of KO.postbox by the great @RyanNiemeyer

I introduced one variable in both the viewmodels each

In viewmodel 1 which will publish (shout) the changes once made :

self.isVisible = ko.observable(false).publishOn("showDiv");

in viewmodel 2 which will be listning to changes from viewmodel 1

self.isVisible = ko.observable(false).subscribeTo("showDiv");

Then I created one click method in first viewModel to toggle Show Div action (visible : true / false)

self.showDiv = function(){
     if(self.isVisible())
         self.isVisible(false);
    else
        self.isVisible(true);
}

Changed visible binding from your existing markup to this :

<div id="container2" data-bind="visible:isVisible">

It now publish changes made in first viewmodel to second viewmodel. This is called pub-sub mechanism. Read more on : https://github./rniemeyer/knockout-postbox

Fiddle here : http://jsfiddle/rahulrulez/0454h205/1/

rjdmello already pointed you to AmplifyJS. Amplify offers (amongst other things) a publish/subscribe mechanism. Pub/sub is a good way to facilitate munication between modules that are loosely coupled. One module subscribes to a topic, and any other module can publish a message with that topic (and any data you'd like to send along). Once a topic is published, all subscribers will be notified.

Some code demonstrating Amplify in this case:

Container1ViewModel.prototype.showDiv = function (event) {
    amplify.publish('show-div', { clickedButton: event.target });
}

function Container2ViewModel() {
    var onShowDiv = function (data) {
        if ($(data.clickedButton).hasClass('.enabled')) {
            // Show me teh div!!
            this.myItems.push("ABC");
        }
    };
    this.myItems = ko.observableArray();
    this.myItems.push("XYZ");
    this.myItems.push("PQR");

    amplify.subscribe('show-div', this, onShowDiv, 1);
}

Using pub/sub to keep modules loosely coupled is generally very good practise (although you shouldn't overdo it because it will bee harder to track how modules cooperate).

And while we are on the practise of good practise, don't use self = this, use Function.prototype.bind instead. http://www.smashingmagazine./2014/01/23/understanding-javascript-function-prototype-bind/

For this you can follow these

Viewmodels

function vm1(parent){
    var self = this
    self.parent = ko.observable(parent)
    .
    .
    .

    self.myfunction(data){
        self.parent().pageParameters(data)
    }
}
function vm2(parent){
    var self = this
    self.parent = ko.observable(parent)
    .
    .
    .

    self.myotherfunction(){
        var othervmdata = self.parent().pageParameters()
        .
        .
    }
}

function vm(){
    var self = this

    self.vm1 = ko.observable();
    self.vm2 = ko.observable();

    self.pageParameters = ko.observable

    self.loadData = function(){
        self.vm1(new vm1(this))
        self.vm2(new vm1(this))
    }
}

View

<div data-bind="with:vm1">
.
.
.
</div>
<div data-bind="with:vm2">
.
.
.
</div>  

This way when you bind myfunction to click binding parent model will have the data you want to pass then on the other view model you can access parent property pageParameters.
