Serving Krsna with 12 Rasas

Hare Krsna Dearest Devotee, 

I hope you are all doing quite wonderfully!

In my research for a prior discussion i came across this site 

Difference between Goloka and Vaikuntha? | Spiritual FAQs

And I read this:

Categorising in terms of what spiritual sentiments (rasas) exist in Vaikuntha and Goloka one can understand that in Vaikuntha planets Lord Narayana can be worshiped with only two-and-half rasas or spiritual sentiments namely, santa(neutral), dasya (servitorship), and half sakhya (friendship). This half sakhya(friendship) of Vaikuntha takes the shape of formal respectful friendship.  Beyond Vaikuntha lies Goloka where the embodiment of all rasas resides; the twelve rasas being : five principal rasas namely, santa (neutral), dasya (servitorship), sakhya(friendship), vatsalya (parental) and madhurya (conjugal); and seven subsidiary rasas namely, hasya (humourous), adbhuta (wonderment), karuna (pity), raudra(anger), vira (chivalry), bhayanaka (fearsome), vibhatsa (horror).   Lord Krishna is worshipped by all the twelve rasas.

 


Could someone please explain how one can worship Krsna through the subsidiary rasas. 

Thanks,

YS
