Our method uses analogue of the construction of generalized Enright-Varadarajan modules for what we call $(\h,\v)$-split parabolic subalgebras. This family of modules includes discrete series representations and ${\cal A}_{\q}(\lambda)$-modules. Keywords: Quadratic subalgebra, generalized Enright-Varadrajan module, (g,h)-module, Verma modules, Kostant's cubic Dirac operator, Dirac cohomology.
