In the last decade, our interest moved significantly to the youngest stellar phase, “protostars”. Evidence for infalls and outflows are implying violent star-forming activities close vicinity of the protostar itself. However, due to the very high extinction in optical and near-infrared band or even in soft X-ray band, we had no tool to access the star itself. In such situation, Chandra X-ray Observatory, with the high transparency in the hard X-ray band and the superior spatial resolution, are beginning to reveal X-ray emitting phenomena deep inside the protostellar cores. In this paper, the high energy activities in Class I and 0 sources detected with Chandra is reviewed.
