Kunnampurathu Varghese Simon (February 7, 1883 – 1944) was a notable[1] Malayalam Christian poet. He was also a musician, a teacher, a reformer, a writer, a profound Bible scholar and apologist. Simon was the author of around 300 devotional songs or poems. He has also written about 30 books. K. V. Simon was given the title Mahakavi (Dean of Poets) by the Sahitya Parishad (Academy of Literature).[2] His major work was Veda Viharam, based on the first book of the Bible, Genesis. It was this work, published in 1931, that earned his name among great poets in Malayalam.[3] The poet was a polyglot and a prominent leader of the Brethren movement in India.

His legacy lives on in the numerous songs he has written. The reasons for the success of the Brethren movement in Kerala was to the fact that men like KVS made disciples of other capable men who in turn took the gospel work to other states and continued his work.
