Keswani is a Soka Gakkai Buddhist and is a leader in the SGI Buddhist community. She has said, "There are many branches of Buddhism but essentially the SGI Buddhist philosophy that I practice is a religion for the 21st century. It is a process of transforming the self by chanting a mantra and through that changing not only ourselves for the better but our environment as well. Chanting gives me the clarity to see what action I should take and how I can make both myself and the people around me happier and more fulfilled."[1][2]
