There is no craze, but there is custom of repeating words or lines in Bhakti. We do not get entangled in it since we also have awakened sense of equality, balanced mind and sense of discretion. Bhakti has sportsmanship, martyrdom, velour of a brave person and courage of a warrior. Bhakt (devotee) never gets defeated by anything. He never runs away from anything. He accepts everything as blessings-prasadi of Prabhu with the Bhava of love, devotion and knowledge. He uses it for his life's development for the love of God, with conscious awareness.
Bhakti is not sentimentalism. Just as Bhakti is an instrument to express Jiva-consciousness, it also takes higher and higher forms to achieve higher and higher stages. There is not just one kind of Bhakti. It changes in its newer forms according to changing condition. For that reason, it is not possible to evaluate Bhakti appropriately without experiencing the level of Bhakti.
