As of now, there are around 8-10 of his desciples in Aurangabad.

Lokuttara Mahavihara Most venerable Bodhipalo Mahathero after completion of his studies and learnings in Buddhism in Thailand, for twenty years, came back to India in 2001, to preach and propagate the Dhamma. He selected Aurangabad as his headquarter as this is city with lot of ancient Buddhist caves around including Ajanta caves and is very holy place. Also in Aurangabad, the Buddhist population is more than 500,000 and since he had studied initially here, he knew the people around. 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.
