Kalanos
Kalanos, also spelled Calanus ( – 323 BCE) was a gymnosophist and philosopher from Taxila〔 () 〕 who accompanied Alexander the Great to Persis and later committed suicide by self-immolation. It was from Kalanos that Alexander came to know of Dandamis, the leader of their group, whom Alexander later went to meet in the forest. Recent research suggests Kalanos was a Buddhist.〔
==Early life==
Plutarch indicates his real name was Sphínēs and that he was from Taxila, but since he greeted people with the word "Kalē!" - perhaps ''kallāṇa (mitta)'' "Greetings (friend)" - the Greeks called him Kalanos.〔〔 Kalanos lived at Taxila and led an austere life.
Early Western scholarship suggested Kalanos was a Jain, but modern scholarship rejects this notion as Jain ascetics are forbidden from using fire and deliberate self-harm due to their convictions about ahimsa and because Taxila and Gandhara were centers of Buddhism and had no Jain presence at all.〔
