To set up a monastery from where he can teach and propagate, he with the help of local upaskas, purchased 7 acres of land at Chowka village, about 14 kms. Away from Aurangabad on very famous Ajanta caves road. The location of the vihara is very scenic and serene with small hill behind it and a water pond at the side of it. It is on main road and easily accessible.
