Choosing a Guru for yourself should be unbiased. Gender equality is a requisite when finding a suitable guide for you. The word Guru has a deep meaning attached to it. It does not refer to only males or females but it refers to a person who can guide and advise you. It is more about finding someone whose ideals look more approachable and attainable to you. All Gurus have something valuable to offer; the gender of the Guru does not play an important role, but the teachings do.
