Kalanos, also spelled Calanus (c. 398 – 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.
