"Shree Krishna Sharanam Mamah" ( શ્રી કૃષણ શરણં મમઃ ) is a prayer and there should be no objection in repeating it continuously. But you must have the constant aspiration and awareness in your heart about your surrender to Shree Krishna. You should not imagine certain statue or picture in your mind or psyche as soon as you utter the word Krishna. There should be certain live awareness of surrender. Some people imagine Krishna surrounded by cows or playing flute or in any other forms that has been seen earlier or traditionally passed down the generations. This is not appropriate for us.
Heart is the place where living awareness ( ભાવ ) originates and if you want to experience the formless aspect of the divine, then you should not engage in this play of imagination. At the same time it is not appropriate for you to create conflict in the mind of persons who feels this way ( play of imagination ). That way is good for them. So Krishna is an abstract word. We should have live awareness of surrendering our mind, intelligence, psyche, prana and all other aspect of our body including heart when the word Shree Krishna is spoken.
