Dandamis (presumably Greek rendering of "Dandayan-Svami")[1] was a philosopher, swami and gymnosophist whom Alexander encountered in the woods near Taxila, when he invaded India in 4th century B.C.
[3] When Alexander met some gymnosophists, who were of trouble to him, he learned that their leader was the Brahmin Dandamis,[4][5] who lived in the jungle, lying naked on leaves, near a water spring.
When Onescratus encountered Dandamis in forest, he gave him the message, that "Alexander, the Great son of Zeus, has ordered him to come to him.
When Dandamis heard that, he did not even raise his head and replied lying in his bed of leaves.
"God the Great King, is not a source of violence but provider of water, food, light and life.
