Historical Stories of Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great had a profound encounter with King Porus where he realized the difference between being a conqueror and a true leader. Porus highlighted how Alexander's conquests did not bring freedom or prosperity to the people he conquered, emphasizing that true kingship is measured by the well-being of the land and its people. This encounter marked Alexander's evolution as a leader. Another significant encounter was with yogis in India, where Alexander learned the wisdom of conquering the self rather than the world. The yogi's response 'I have conquered the need to conquer the world' resonated with Alexander, leading him to appreciate the value of inner peace and self-mastery.
