Three King Makers
There are three people who are said to be the kingmakers - Samarth Raamdaas, Vidyaaranya and Kautilya or Chaanakya. Together they form the Tri-Moorti who built Hindu kingdoms and saved the Sanaatan Dharm during their times.

(1) Samarth Raamdaas
Samarth Raamdaas was the Guru of Shivaa Jee who is said to be the incarnation of Shiv. He lived in a village of Mahaaraashtra. As he was born on Hanumaan Jayantee, he is considered the incarnation of Hanumaan. He was a great devotee of Raam and Hanumaan too. He had helped Shivaa Jee on several occasions. He gave him orange flag to hoist.

(2) Chaanakya
Chaanakya was 4th century BC, and he was the Guru of Chandragupt Maurya. Chaanakya met Chandragupt in a village playing and he saw his brilliant mind in ruling, so he took him to Takshshilaa, educated him for the future Emperor of United India. And he did that. He ascended him on the throne at the age of 20. Chandragupt's kingdom was one of the largest kingdom of his time. In fact Chaanaky was born king - when he was born, he had full set of teeth, which meant that he was born to be the King but since his father hated kings, he broke his teeth and that is how he himself did not become king but he made the King - Chandragupt Maurya. As Chandragupt's mother died in his childhood, and he lived all his childhood with Chaanakya for his education, Chaanakya was like parents to him. Chaanakya stayed with till the end of his rule training him and guiding him.

(3) Maadhav Vidyaaranya
He was a saint and he established Vijayanagar Empire in Southern India. He was the 12th Jagadguru of Shringeree Shaaradaa Peeth from 1380 to 1386 AD. He lived in the court of Vijayanagar with Bukkaa I. He laid the foundation stone systematically of the Vijayanagar Kingdom, with the help of astrology that the Kingdom would last for 2,000 years, but Vindhyeshwaree Devee told him that the time was not ripe for Hindu Kingdom to be there for such a long time and it would last only for 200 years.
