Sulaiman Samuel Cohen was Jewish by race born in Basra, Iraq, but went to India in his early youth (1927) and settled down for life. He worked in Bombay for a few years as an accountant. He joined the Theosophical Society (Adyar) and lived at its headquarters in Chennai (then Madras) for five years. He was one of the founders of the Association of Hebrew Theosophists in Adyar.

In 1936 he visited the Ashram of the Hindu sage Sri Ramana Maharshi and moved to live there until the Maharshi's death in 1950.
