Keshav Maharaj also spoke about it and what value does Lord Ram brings into his life. Keshav Maharaj said, “My faith in god is very staunch. I always believe that god has given me perspective and guidance and put me in the situation where I am today. I am always grateful and give thanks. I am a staunch devotee of Lord Hanuman and Lord Ram."

He further added, “So it's the least I can do to say thank you and get me in my zone and make me focused through hearing 'Ram Siya Ram' play in the background. So I sent the request through to the DJ and I am very fortunate that he could play the song for me when I entered."
