Just five miles north of Wardha, is the Ashram of Acharya Vinoba Bhave called the Paramdham Ashram. Young Vinoba longed for self-realisation and left home in search of Brahman. He thought that Bapuji's Ashram would show the light he aspired for and so joined it.

Soon he settled in Paunar, a historic and ancient city of the King Prawarsen, on the banks of the river Dham. After an inner call, he left Paunar and started on an unending Padayatra for Bhoomidan. He regards all the three viz. leaving home, joining Ashram and leaving for Padayatra are phases towards self-realisation.

The idea of Brahma Vidya was crystallised in 1958 during his morning walks with his associates. His first march from home to Ashram was for individual salvation, but as his thoughts matured, Vinobaji thought that, these cannot and should not be-pursued for individual salvation. Real freedom can come to a group mind, working through the group.

While the land at the site of ashram was being excavated some ancient sculptures were unearthed which are about 1500 years old, the sculptures unearthed are on display at the ashram.
