In 1804 Raka Levajac responded to Karadjordje's call for an uprising and participated in the Ostružnica Assembly, the first national assembly of Serbia taking place from May 6 to May 15, 1804.
The Assembly discussed the development of the uprising, the organization of the uprising government and the acquisition of weapons.

Raka Levajac was part of Karadjordje's delegation at the negotiations with the Turks in Zemun in 1804.
The negotiations were held under the auspices of Austria, from April 28 to May 10, 1804.
Karadjordje appeared with sixteen selected Serbian envoys including Raka Levajac as the representative of Western Pomoravlje.

He participated in the battles on Mišar (1806) and Ljubić.
After the rebel victory near Sjenica and Suvodol in the spring of 1809, Raka Levajac crossed over Kolašin with Milan Obrenović and 3500 rebels heading towards the Montenegrin border.

Karađorđe appealed to the fraternity of the Montenegrins and Bosnians to restore the unity of the Serbian nation.
Karađorđe sent a diplomatic delegation consisting of Čolak-Anta Simeonović and Raka Levajac as advance party to Montenegro.

However with the terrible defeat at Kamenica in May 1809 and the fall of Deligrad Karađorđe hastened back to the rescue of Serbia and withdrew all his troops besieging Novi Pazar, forcing him to abandon plans to extend the uprising to Montenegro.
Raka Levajac and Čolak-Anta Simeonović remained in Moraca until September 1809 until then they were able to make their way to Serbia carrying a letter from Bishop Peter I to Karađorđe.

Raka Levajac was made Vojvoda of Uzice in 1810 right after the death of Milan Obrenović.
He held the title until 1813 when, after a confrontation with Karadjordje when he refused to carry an order to arrest hajduks, he was stripped of his title.
After the collapse of the uprising, Raka Levajac remained in Serbia returning to his trade.
