He is affiliated with the University of Sydney and Mardin Artuklu University.

Brikha Nasoraia was born in Iraq to Mahdi Saed (father) and Layla (mother).
His baptismal name is Sam bar Sam Yuhana.
He belongs to the Kuhailia (Choheili) family and can thus trace his ancestry back to Adam Zakia, the father of Bihram Bar-Hiia, who lived around 1500 A.D.
He was initiated into the Mandaean priesthood by Sheikh Abdullah, son of Sheikh Negm, of Baghdad.
He was ordained as a ganzibra (Mandaean high priest) and later emigrated to Sydney, Australia, where he initially served with Ganzibra Salah Choheili.
In 1998, together with Majid Fandi al-Mubaraki and his son Brian Mubaraki, he published a full printed version of the Ginza Rabba in typesetted Mandaic.

Naṣoraia is used to denote that he is a Nasoraean, i.e. a Mandaean priest.
