Piri System was establish by Guru Amar Das to spread Sikhi among women folks. Due to lack of interaction of woman with man the system was introduce in which woman spiritual leaders would guide the woman folk about sikh doctrines and tradtions. Guru Amar Das established another organization called Piri system.

The incharges of the Piris were ladies whose objective was to lit the flame of Guru's word and spread the fragrance of Nam among women. Bibi Bhani, Bibi Dani and Bibi Pal were some of the most revered incharges of the different Piris.

Guru Amar Das gave authority and power to 146 of his apostles to go to various parts of the country and unfold the glory of Nam. Out of these 146 persons, 94 were men and 52 were women. They were all glowing with True Name and filled with Divine Spirit.
