Guru Amar Das is known and respected for several edicts and progressive practices within the Sikh faith, but above all, he was a powerful proponent of gender equality which was one of his principal teaching planks; he initiated the piri system whereby there could be female preachers in the faith, and with his practice following his preaching, he passed on the mantle of Guru not to his son but on merit to his son-in-law; maybe there was an inherited gender gene at work!
