Guru Maharaj: Cannot say they will get the same benefit. Since in the puranas it says if the ashtami is with the saptami, this and that, it is not the same, as ashtami is with Rohini. One has to see astronomically. Certainly Krishna is a Person, and as far as they are observing Krishna Janmashtami, I think Krishna will give them mercy.
