Maha Chohan is a compound term meaning "great chohan". It is applied to a certain Adept whose spiritual attainment is superior to that of Masters K. H. and M.. In The Mahatma Letters he is frequently referred as the "boss", "Master" or "chief."

In a letter to Col. Olcott, Mahatma K. H. referred to the Maha Chohan a he "to whose insight the future lies like an open page".[1] In a letter to Mohini M. Chatterji he said: "One far greater than myself has kindly consented to survey the whole situation".[2]

The Maha Chohan had an active influence in the development of the Theosophical Society. He allowed Mahatma K. H. to correspond with Messrs. A. O. Hume and A. P. Sinnett,[3] and later gave the consent for them to form an Anglo-Indian branch of the Theosophical Society "solely under the express and unalterable condition that the new Society should be founded as a Branch of the Universal Brotherhood".[4]
