Note: Majority of the information is correct especially with regard to the Pandavas. However there are some skepticisms like for instance there is a reference of Bheema and Duryodhana being born on same date but they appear to have different Nakshatras. It could be correct however if they were born on the same date but a year apart. Also some conflicting information on Dhritarashtra and Dronacharya. Have updated the list based on what seems to be the most likely option. Arjuna also is listed under different Nakshatras but the most plausible and authentic one of Uttara Phalguni has been documented.

Note: The information on the 'Thiru Nakshatra' which is the Janma Nakshatra of divine beings is as accurate as possible. There were some cases where more than one Nakshatras were referenced but have taken the most authentic one. For some historical names like Nimbarkacharya, Purandaradasa, Mahatvar Babaji, Mirabai, Shirdi Saibaba etc the year of birth itself appeared to have skepticisms and hence their names have not been recorded in the above list. Information on Tithi follows the Amanta tradition where a lunar month runs from Shukla Paksha Pratama and culminates in Ammavasya unless specifically mentioned as Pournimanta wherein which a month begins at Krishna Paksha Pratama and concludes in Pournima.
From some of the prominent names listed above, documenting additional information on 3 sets of Trinities consisting of the 3 well known philosophers of the Vedanta Tradition, the 3 musical saints who exhibited their devotion in full force through their outstanding compositions in deference of the higher beings and the Holy Trinity whose collective philosophy rested on the four foundational pillars.
Philosophers of Vedanta Tradition
The 3 main philosophers happen to be Adi Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya and Madhavacharya. They all lived during different time periods and belonged to the Southern states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka respectively. They all had different ideologies but the shared link happens to be their common thesis of spirituality, devotion and praise of the Lord. Adi Shankaracharya propagated Advaita Vedanta or absolute non duality meaning the individual soul and ultimate reality are both one and the same. Ramanujacharya's philosophy was Vishishtadvaita Vedanta or qualified non duality advocating that the the relationship between God and individuals is like that of a soul and body. It was described like a Part and Whole relationship with the Lord being the 'whole' and devotee being a 'part' of that 'whole'. Madhavacharya on the other hand practiced Dvaita Vedanta translating to God and the Devotee being completely separate and distinct realities. His standpoint was that God was from a higher reality and perfect whereas the individual taking birth is imperfect and the way to reach the Lord is through service and prayers. The birth detail of Ramanujacharya has already been touched underneath the section of the Alvars. The birth tithi and month of both Adi Shankaracharya and Ramanujachacharya are said to be one and the same. Madhavacharya was said to be born on the auspicious day of Vijaya Dasami or Dussehra. Lets document the birth details of these 3 great philosophers.
- Adi Shankaracharya – Vaishakha Shukla Paksha Panchami – Punarpoosam / Punarvasu
- Ramanujacharya – Vaishakha Shukla Paksha Panchami – Thiruvadhirai / Aarudra
- Madhavacharya – Ashwin Shukla Paksha Dasami – Tiruvonam / Shravana
Musical Saints or Trinity of Carnatic Music
The 3 musical saints or the Trinity of Carnatic Music as they are fondly called were all incidentally born in the sacred temple town of Thiruvarur in Tamil Nadu just few years apart from each other with all of them taking birth in the latter half of the 18th century. Shyama Shastry happens to be the oldest of the 3 and known extensively for his worship of Goddess Bangaru Kamakshi. He is known for creating "Navaratnamalika" - a 9 jeweled musical piece praising the famed Goddess Meenakshi from Madurai. Saint Thyagaraja was an avid bhakta of Lord Rama composing numerous musical garlands in dedication of the Lord and is majorly known for 'Pancha Ratna Kritis' based on 5 Ragas Naatai, Gowlai, Arabhi, Varali and Sri and this forms the core of the Thyagaraja Aaradhanai festival held every year where plethora of musicians come together in mass to render his masterpiece during a 5 day window with the celebrations ending in the lunar month of Pushya on the 5th waning Tithi of Panchami coined as Pushya Bahula Panchami. Muthuswamy Dikshitar was the youngest in the Trinity and has a close affiliation to Lord Murugan and said to be named after the deity 'Muthukumaraswamy' as his parents prayed for a child at the Vaitheeswaran temple. He is believed to have composed at many temples as part of his pilgrimage such as Thiruthani, Kanchi, Thiruvannamalai, Chidambaram, Tirupathi and Kalahasthi. He was very proficient in the instrument veena and his songs are known to have a strong Gamaka style consisting of turns, curves and blends. He was also known by his signature name of 'Guruguha' which is said to be his musical signature. Is most widely known for his work on the "Kamalamba Navavarna Kritis" in honour of Goddess Kamalamba comprising 11 tracks inclusive of 9 compositions, an introductory piece and a concluding close.

The Holy Trinity
The 19th century witnessed the birth of the Holy Trinity comprising of Ramakrishna Paramahansa, his spouse Sri Sarada Devi and their most devoted disciple Swami Vivekananda. Ramakrishna Paramahansa taught that the absolute realization of God as the foremost goal of human life and solely believed that all religions lead to the same one god. Sri Sarada Devi was known as the Holy Mother and spiritual counterpart of Ramakrishna. She displayed unconditional love and acceptance of spiritual seekers of all caste and kind. Vivekananda was instrumental in spreading Hinduism to the western world. He travelled extensively and known towards dedication of spiritual liberation and humanitarian service. Collectively their fundamental philosophy rested on the four pillars viz i) Yato Mat Tato Pat - translated as integrating and harmony of religion, ii) identifying service as worship equating it as serving humanity being the highest form of spiritual practice, iii) advocating the four yogas viz Jnana Yoga - path of knowledge, Bhakti Yoga - path of devotion, Karma Yoga - path of selfless action and Raja Yoga - path of meditative control and iv) practising complete empowerment and inclusivity. They are also known for many inspiring quotes highlighting the essence of their philosophy. Lets index the birth details of these 3 respected souls of the Holy Trinity.
